Happy Birthday, You Fat Cat

Happy belated birthday to my old friend, Garfield. This Hoosier Legend sent my 8-year-old self to the arms of Morpheus until I was probably about 12. I would read and re-read his books until the spines were spent and falling apart. His first comic strip was published on June 19, 1978. Ever since, he has amused readers daily. I read that Garfield is literally the most read comic strip in the world. Who would have thought that a lazy, lasagna-loving cat would hold the world in his grip? Well, he did. Well done, old boy!
