Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Experience twenty-five years of the furry phenomenon known as Garfield with this fun, in-depth, and lavishly illustrated book.

Jim Daviss grandfather, James A. Garfield Davis, was a big, cantankerous, outspoken man. Garfield is a big, cantankerous, outspoken cat. Coincidence? Of course not. The cartoon affectionately modeled on his grandfather has propelled creator Jim Davis-and Garfield-into the realm of comic superstardom. In this book, youll get a unique look back at the humble beginnings and enormous success of Americas favorite feline.

In Dog Years Id Be Dead takes a comprehensive look at everything Garfield- the comics, the television shows, the zillions of products (who on the planet hasnt seen the grinning plush doll suction-cupped to a car window?), and, of course, the fans. Youll get the inside scoop about the pioneering comic-strip books that set the standard for the industry with a shape now called the “Garfield format.” Youll venture into the studio where the voice talent recorded TV shows, and hear about the antics of special guest stars like Jonathan Winters and Buddy Hackett. Loaded with never-before-seen archival gems from Jim Daviss personal collection and tribute cartoons from legends like Beetle Baileys Mort Walker, Blondies Dean Young, and The Family Circuss Bill Keane, this is a book to treasure.

Synopsis:

Experience 25 years of the furry phenomenon known as Garfield with this fun, in-depth, and lavishly illustrated book, now with new material from Garfield's 25th birthday celebrations.
