Garfield (character)
Summary
Garfield is a fictional cat and the protagonist of the comic strip of the same name, created by Jim Davis. The comic strip centers on Garfield, portrayed as a lazy, fat, and cynical orange tabby Persian cat. He is noted for his love of lasagna and sleeping and his hatred of Mondays, fellow cat Nermal and exercise.
Garfield is an orange cat belonging to Jon Arbuckle. He was born on , in the kitchen of Mamma Leoni's Italian Restaurant. Jim Davis named Garfield after his grandfather, James Garfield Davis. As a kitten, he develops a taste for lasagna, which would become his favorite food. Because of his appetite, the owner of Mamma Leoni's has to choose between giving away Garfield or closing down his restaurant; so Garfield is sold to a pet shop. Garfield is adopted from the store by Jon Arbuckle on August 19, 1978. In his cartoon appearances, Garfield usually causes mischief in every episode.
It is also given that Garfield uses the "sandbox" on occasion, such as in one 1978 strip; he says he hates commercials because they're "too long to sit through and too short for a trip to the sandbox". It was revealed on October 27, 1979, that he does not like raisins. His birthday is June 19, 1978, the day the first Garfield strip was published. On Garfield's 25th anniversary in 2003, several strips were featured in which he interacted with his 1978 version.
Garfield frequently gets into many adventures, such as getting stuck in roll-up shades, sparring with mice, and getting locked up in animal shelters. In 2005, Garfield and Jon appeared in several comic strips of Blondie in honor of their 75th anniversary. There was an earlier Blondie crossover on the Garfield strip published April 1, 1997, and vice versa, as part of the comic strip switcheroo.
Garfield was one of numerous cartoon characters featured in the 1990 animated special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.
Among Garfield's character traits are his laziness, his cynicism, and his sarcasm. He hates Mondays and the cat Nermal and loves lasagna.
