Garfield Hams It Up: His 31st Book

Description

A brand-new edition of the classic originally published in 1997-for the first time in full colour and a larger format! Faster than a jelly donut, able to gobble lasagna in a single gulp . . . It's the one and only feisty furball Garfield-the corpulent cat with an attitude second only to his appetite. So whether he's relishing the fall season (the crinkle of autumn's rustling leaves sounds remarkably like potato chips) or sharpening his claws (quite handy for scratching through a plastic cheese wrapper), rest assured that where Garfield goes, fun-and food-are fast to follow! The GARFIELD CLASSICS series collects the early years of the GARFIELD comic strip in a larger, full-color format. Garfield may have gone through a few changes, but one thing has stayed the same- his enormous appetite for food and fun. So laugh along with the classic cat, because classics are always in style.
