Features: Yellow fur, perky ears, half-open eyes, a chubby body, and a lazy expression. Formerly known to the Chinese only as a cartoon character embodying arrogance and laziness, Garfield has now officially made its debut in China with the original Garfield comic series. The "Garfield" comic series was created by the renowned American cartoonist Jim Davis in 1978. Within just two years of its creation, Garfield appeared in 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. Its chubby physique and domineering attitude make it impossible to categorize as a traditional "icon," yet it is precisely these traits that give it the opportunity to become an "anti-icon." The straightforwardness, 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 transcended the boundaries of American middle-class culture." Modern people are exhausted from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and this cat that freely exposes human flaws represents the life people long for. Deep down, everyone is Garfield.
