Features: Yellow fur, perky ears, half-open eyes, chubby body, lazy expression—Garfield, the cat previously known to the Chinese only as a proud and lazy cartoon character, is now officially landing in China with the original Garfield series comic books. The "Garfield" comic series was created by the renowned American cartoonist Jim Davis in 1978. Just two years after its debut, 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 representation of American culture. His chubby physique and dominant attitude make it impossible to classify him 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.
