Garfield at large - James H. Davis

Like every great lasagna, Garfield was born in the kitchen of an Italian restaurant
on a winter's night in 1978, while outside snow fell like grated Parmesan cheese.
He weighed five pounds, six ounces at birth--that's big for a kitten!--and right
from the start showed a passion for Italian food. The restaurant owner, forced to
choose between Garfield and closing his doors for lack of pasta, sold Garfield to
a pet store. Garfield thought he was a goner until Jon Arbuckle walked in the door.


The rest is history.
