When Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield, the lazy, sarcastic
cartoon cat, heard that President Obama was looking for a dog for
the White House, he sat down and drew him a picture of Garfield with
Odie, the slobbering dog that plays second fiddle to the cat. 'Have
I got a dog for you!' he had Garfield saying.
'I never heard back from Obama,' chuckles Davis, 'so Garfield is
still stuck with Odie.' Little has changed about the strip over the
past 31 years. 'Garfield still sleeps,' says Davis, now 63. 'He
still loves lasagne. And he still beats up on Odie.' The one factor
that has changed is the strip's popularity.
Originally appearing in 40 newspapers, it now features in 2,500
papers worldwide. ...
