Features: World-famous Garfield, the cat of unintentional humor that embodies wisdom. Born on June 19, 1978, Garfield has sold over 13 million books since his debut and has 26 million readers worldwide. Garfield stands out with his "habits" such as "loving to make sarcastic remarks, napping in the afternoon, drinking coffee in large sips, devouring lasagna, flattening spiders, and chasing down mail carriers." Compared to his predecessor, Tom from Tom and Jerry, Garfield also fulfills his duty in comedy, but his "aircraft carrier-like physique and domineering attitude" make it impossible for him to be labeled an "idol." However, it is his more "humanized" traits that made him a star. As Jim Davis, the "father" of Garfield, the cartoonist,s: "People love Garfield because the things he says and does are the things everyone wants to say and do but can't." Regarding the original creator of Garfield, Jim Davis, Garfield himselfs him as follows: "Who? Oh. That guy who draws comics. He's a good person, but to be honest—-he's just riding my coattails."
