So grab a seat and get ready for Tons of Fun as Garfield treats us to another heaping helping of humor!
The GARFIELD CLASSICS series collects the early years of the GARFIELD comic strip. Garfield may have gone through a few changes, but one thing has stayed the same: his enormous appetite for food and fun. So laugh along with the classic cat, because classics are always in style.
