The creation of Garfield

Since 1978 Jim Davis' sarcastic, orange tabby cat has entertained millions of people appearing in Newspapers, books, cartoons and even his own films.

From his small-town beginnings in Muncie, Indiana, The History of Garfield explores our relationship with Garfield, Jon and Odie and how Davis' characters have become such an integral part of American pop culture over the decades.
