Garfield, the lovable feline who never met a lunch he didn''t
like, dishes up another book full of his heavy hijinx and weighty
wit. Garfield''s put on a few pounds over the years, but he''s not
just getting fatter, he''s getting better! So keep the comedy and
calories coming! Whether he''s painting Odie or chowing down on
Jon''s favorite fern, Garfield proves he''s still a ton of fun
