Featuring an original essay by noted historian R.C. Harvey, this art book will take you through the history of Jim Davis and Garfield, and how the furry feline has grown in popularity and style over the years. It discusses many of the mediums Garfield is represented in, from the Garfield and Friends television show to the live-action movies, to the current animated series, to comic books - and beyond! In the essay, Harvey interviews Davis about the history of Garfield, from inception to the modern version of this Monday-hating tabby. Davis gives the inside scoop on how Garfield's story unfolded, and how the cat was shaped into the lovable character the world knows today.
