Features: Garfield, born on June 19, 1978, has sold 13 million books since its debut and has 26 million readers worldwide. Garfield stands out for its "vices" such as "loving to complain, napping in the sun, gulping down coffee, devouring lasagna, chasing spiders, and chasing mail carriers." Compared to its predecessor, Tom from Tom and Jerry, while Garfield is also dedicated to comedy, its "aircraft carrier-like physique and domineering attitude" makes it impossible to label it as an "idol." However, it is precisely its more "humanized" traits that made it a star. As Jim Davis, the "father" of Garfield, the cartoonist,s: "People love Garfield because the things it says and does are what everyone wants to say and do but can't." Happy 26th birthday, Garfield!
