BT-Garfield Gains Wgt

Garfield, Jon Arbuckle, Odie, and Lyman return in this second installment of the hugely successful "Garfield" comics. Here we get to see the introduction to Irma the waitress ("Bad Potato! Bad Potato!"), the first failures of Jon getting a date, and the introduction to Liz the veterinarian, who becomes Jon's biggest crush. We also get to see "Garfield's History of Cats," which are obviously inaccurate, but that's what makes them funny. And finally, we get to see some unusual social commentary on the strip that's published 3/18/1979. This is one of the few times that the comic delves into social issues in general. Tons and tons of visual gags and slapstick humor all around. It's essential to the world of "Garfield".

This book is the best Garfield book of them all. Garfield is always embarrasing Jon and punting Odie. If you ask me my favorite strips are where he destroies the mailman and punts Odie.

Contains all the daily and Sunday strips January 23, 1979 through August 26, 1979.

this is a book that you would realy like and I think this is a great book to read.

This is probably the best Garfield collection assembled. Mr Davis is comfortable with his fat cat and the jokes are fresh.
