Garfield: the laziest (and funniest) cat in the world

Created by Jim Davis in 1978, Garfield is a big, orange, sarcastic cat with a deep love for lasagna and an equally deep hatred for Mondays. Living with his awkward bachelor owner Jon Arbuckle and the endlessly cheerful (and dim-witted) dog Odie, Garfield’s life revolves around eating, sleeping, complaining… and repeating.

The Garfield comic strip quickly became a global hit, thanks to its universal themes — laziness, food obsession, and unapologetic grumpiness. In the 80s and 90s, Garfield was everywhere: books, calendars, mugs, plush toys, and, most memorably, cartoons.

The most beloved adaptation remains Garfield and Friends (1988–1994), a Saturday morning classic mixing Garfield’s antics with U.S. Acres stories. With humor that worked for both kids and adults, it became a staple of retro TV.

The brand spawned:

• Dozens of comic collections translated worldwide.

• Two CGI movies (2004, 2006) with Bill Murray as Garfield’s voice.

• Multiple modern animated series, including The Garfield Show.

Decades later, Garfield still reigns as the patron saint of laziness and sarcastic humor — because honestly, who hasn’t had a Garfield day?
