As a kid, I had several Garfield books. They were the one's you ordered through the Scholastic Book Club ad that showed up at school every couple of months. I wouldn't call myself a huge Garfield fan, but even now, I still read through the comics in the daily edition of the Evansville Courier & Press, including arguably the world's most famous fictional cat, Garfield.
