Jim did not want Garfield to be an American, rather wanted him to be an Indian or a Chinese or British.Īccording to an IANS report, Jim felt that had he made a political comment, Garfield would have been automatically identified as an American cat.

Jim Davis, an Emmy Award winner, stated “Garfield”, which holds the Guinness World Record for being the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip, is not going to enter political space ever. The brainchild behind the creation of the “big orange cat” doesn’t want the lasagna-loving creature to be dated by dealing with politics. The Garfield collection includes the classic, “I Hate Mondays”, the foodie favourite “Donut Garfield” among others.

Paws Inc had also partnered with Skechers USA for a new footwear collection inspired by the famous cartoon character Garfield.ī – a one-stop solution for official merchandises had also added Garfield in its kitty.

To commemorate the occasion, Game Insight welcomed ‘Garfield and Odie’ into their very own limited time event in The Tribez. Recently, the fat and lazy cat celebrated its 40 th birth anniversary with spur of merchandises all over the country. Apart from the comic strip, Garfield had his own shows, movies, stage shows and video games.
