Garfield Super Branché N°26 Pre-owned book

Garfield: the laziest (and funniest) cat in geekdom

Created in 1978 by cartoonist Jim Davis, Garfield stormed into the pop culture scene with a snarky grin, a bottomless appetite for lasagna, and absolutely zero motivation. If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, chances are you had at least one Garfield comic book, or a plush cat flopped somewhere in your room doing absolutely nothing.

Garfield is the orange, chunky, sarcastic feline who sleeps all day, bullies poor Odie, roasts his owner Jon, and never lifts a paw unless it’s for food. But beneath the laziness lies razor-sharp wit and a timeless sense of humor that speaks to anyone who’s ever wanted to hit snooze on a Monday morning.

The comic strips were a worldwide hit, but Garfield really cemented his cult status with the animated show “Garfield and Friends”, which aired in the late 80s and 90s. With its funky theme song, unforgettable voice acting, and perfectly absurd humor, it became a weekly ritual for millions of kids.

Let’s not forget the merchandising tsunami: mugs, calendars, plush toys, shirts, clocks — Garfield was everywhere. And somehow, he managed to do it all without breaking a sweat.

Even today, Garfield is a living meme. He’s the patron saint of sarcasm, the spiritual guide of couch potatoes, and proof that laziness, done right, is an art form.

Because Garfield never chased trends. He waited for them to crawl over while he was napping.
