Shop For Garfield Gains Weight: His Second Book (Davis, Jim. Garfield Classics, 2.)


Garfield, Jon Arbuckle, Odie, and Lyman return in this second installment of the hugely successful "Garfield" comics. Here we get to see the introduction to Irma the waitress ("Bad Potato! Bad Potato!"), the first failures of Jon getting a date, and the introduction to Liz the veterinarian, who becomes Jon's biggest crush. We also get to see "Garfield's History of Cats," which are obviously inaccurate, but that's what makes them funny. And finally, we get to see some unusual social commentary on the strip that's published 3/18/1979. This is one of the few times that the comic delves into social issues in general.

Tons and tons of visual gags and slapstick humor all around. It's essential to the world of "Garfield".Get more detail about Garfield Gains Weight: His Second Book (Davis, Jim. Garfield Classics, 2.).
