Garfield: I came, I saw, I ate by Jim Davis
Book 17
Read on: Feb 25th, 2010
Garfield… all these years reading it as a single newspaper strip did not make me understand the character. But dude!! This guy is a real pain. He is selfish. Devilish. Lazy. Unfriendly. N deserves the loathe he gets from his few others around.
I always had this feeling that I did not like this lazy character but dude he is shameless n mean-o.
Anyway, so about the whole comic. Everything was around him. Sarcasm, the humour, so if you let the character Garfield sink in you. You will understand why the stories are like that. So. Garfield is a cat. In this particular book. They show how he eats away all the fishes his master gets as a pet. He hits n puts the innocent foolish dog in danger all the time. He uses the strong mouse for his various pranks. He doesn’t listens to his master at all and tells him he shouldn’t expect anything from him except for hogging. And in the end. It’s his 30 plus birthday and he is depressed about aging where all his other people make fun of him on his back.
The book has a way of presentation.
1 subject for example dog -> Garfield’s humour -> level 1
The following strip with the same subject dog -> Garfield’s humour -> level 2 and so on like this around 3-4 strips together with a same subject but humour or sarcasm level more n more.
