Plot: The cat needs no introduction. Since his debut in 1978, Garfield, the titular fat orange tabby, has entertained readers with his quest for food, sarcasm, and loathing of Mondays. During his adventures, he frequently berates his geeky owner, John, and hopeless canine roommate, Odie. About three years ago, the main cast was formally joined by another member. Liz the vet became John's steady girlfriend and, with her approval of pizza for a celebration, cemented Garfield's approval.
Genre: Comics
Reading Level: Since it utilizes both simple diction and bright visuals, almost anyone can read it. As a matter of fact, it is a favorite of fairly new readers.
Similar Titles: Pooch Cafe, Fred Basset, Foxtrot
Personal Thoughts: I probably did not need to review this comic. Nearly everyone has heard of the strip. Or the movies. Or the television show. Or the plush toys. Or the valentine's. Or the other television show. Or the novella series. Or the video games. You get the idea.
Anyway, I was rather proud of myself when I was able to read the comic strip to my dad for the first time. I think a lot of kids have similar experiences.
