Features: Yellow fur, perky ears, half-open eyes, a chubby body, and a lazy expression. Formerly known to the Chinese only as a proud and lazy cartoon character, Garfield, the original of the Garfield series, has finally officially landed in China. The "Garfield" comic series was created by the famous American cartoonist Jim Davis in 1978. Only two years after its birth, Garfield made it onto the pages of over 100 newspapers. To date, more than 6,000 types of Garfield products have been sold worldwide, and the "Garfield" comic series has sold a total of 13 million copies. Garfield is a typical representative of American culture. His chubby figure and dominant attitude make it impossible for him to be categorized as a traditional "icon," but it is precisely these more "humanized" traits that give him the opportunity to become an "anti-icon." The directness, humor, selfishness, and playful attitude of the American middle class are all vividly reflected in the life of this cat. "In the current post-industrial era, Garfield's image has gone beyond the scope of American middle-class culture." Modern people are exhausted from the hustle and bustle of life, and this cat who freely exposes human flaws represents the life people long for in their hearts. Everyone is Garfield at their core.
