The Dog Finally Has His Day!

After years of living in Garfield’s supersized shadow, Odie breaks loose with a book of his own. Sure, the fat cat’s slobbering sidekick may be a few dog biscuits shy of a box, but he’s all heart—or is that all tongue? Odie’s fetched his favorite strips and quips for this comical canine collection, so enjoy! Just watch out for dog breath!

Jim Davis was born on July 28, 1945, in Marion, Indiana. He later attended Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, where he distinguished himself by earning one of the lowest cumulative grade point averages in the history of the university. The Garfield strip was born on June 19, 1978, syndicated in forty-one U.S. newspapers. Today it’s syndicated in more than 2,100 newspapers worldwide with more than 200 million readers, leading Guinness World Records to name Garfield The Most Widely Syndicated Comic Strip in the World. Davis has had many successes with Garfield, including four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and induction into the Licensing Hall of Fame (1998), but his most prized awards are from his peers in the National Cartoonist Society: Best Humor Strip (1981 and 1985), the Elzie Segar Award (1990), and the coveted Reuben Award (1990) for overall excellence in cartooning.
