Customer Reviews

Good to see what the comics were like in the beginning, and how they evolved.

It was very interesting to see how the book's illustrations and punch lines were different to the later books.

Date coverage

Contains all the daily and Sunday strips June 19, 1978 through January 22, 1979.

A truly great, truly funny comic series

It seems every time I pick up a Garfield book I can't put it down. The books are simple, funny and unforgettable. Sure, most of the books have the same type of jokes and plots, but they are always treated differently so they don't get old. It's also neat to see how much Garfield has changed throughout the years. In the first book he is a really big cat, but in the newer books/strips he is much thinner and walking on two legs! I definitely recommend all Garfield books to all people. They're sure to brighten a dull day!

Very Funny!

This book was very funny. I think this book deserves 5 stars

CLASSIC GARFIELD---BUY THIS!!!!!

First of all, check out my review for Eats His Heart Out. Now, this book is his very first. You think he's fat now in 1999, check him out 21 years ago!!! It's all from 1978-1979. I would get this book first if you're new to the Garfield book collection.

This book was awesome!

Like before, Garfield has once again stole the show. In his first book, Garfield is awesome!
