Garfield is my absolute favorite comic strip! I loved it, and I have almost all of the 74 Garfield books.

Garfield has always been one of my favourite cartoon characters so allow me to be biased and say there's never a dull moment with this one! And you just can't have enough!

Quick impression: I had read before the three books contained in this collection over the years. However, what can I say? Garfield comics for me are comfort reading, and there are some very good strips here. I still love the idea of Garfield watching the Baby Laughter Channel (media companies need to get in on this). For libraries, this is a good value as you are getting three volumes at a time.

This volume collects the first three trade collections of the Garfield comic strip. You can read it from the beginning. You get to meet Lyman, Jon's roommate who brought in Odie the dog. For some reason, Odie stayed and Lyman disappeared down the road. It is also interesting to see what Garfield and the rest of the gang looked like back then before Davis stylized the look and improved on it. The humor back then was actually pretty good, and while some strips may be a bit dated, the humor overall holds pretty well.
