Through the years I've collected nearly every Garfield book that's been released, numerous stuffed animals and figurines, household items like mugs and teapots, and my favorites...Garfield Christmas ornaments. (In the early days before the strips were collected in book form my mom would clip them out of the newspaper and glue them in notebooks for me. I still have those notebooks and will always treasure them!)
On June 19th Garfield will turn 40 years old and he continues to spread his mirth and girth far and wide! Some new merchandise is starting to trickle out to coincide with this special occasion and I can already see my collection growing larger!
I'd say Garfield has aged quite well, wouldn't you?

I have loved Garfield forever--but I didn't realize it's actually been 40 years! :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow...40 years? Mom feels REALLY old now!

Yes, Garfield has aged well. I’ve always enjoyed the humor, even at Odie’s expense. :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I'm surprised that he's only 40. I used to read Garfield all the time as a kid. What a great flashback for me!
ReplyDeleteWe always loved the adventures of Garfield with pal Odie. They always put a smile on our faces. Garfield looks pretty good for almost being 40 years old. Thanks for the share. Have a great weekend.

I love Garfield! He sure ages like fine wine. I watch the Garfield holiday specials every Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. And my goodness, those shoes you shared are too cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, he doesn't look a day over . . . um, five. We loved Garfield and we loved his big cheeks the best!
ReplyDeleteGarfield was always a fave. I have cat dishes and a matching placemat. I don't think TW had any plushies. You must have missed it or had them but TW had donated three Franklin Mint figurines to help some of the CB cat auctions.
ReplyDeleteWow, we can't believe he's 40! He doesn't look a day over 10.
ReplyDeleteAge cannot wither nor the years condemn, nor custom stale, Garfield's infinite snarkiness.
ReplyDeleteI like Garfield in cartoons, and cats as different from him as possible in real life.
40 years already ? Can't believe it ! Claire loves Garfield too ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteGarfield has always been one of our favorite cat celebrities. We can't believe he's 40!
ReplyDeleteI have always liked Garfield. I have some stuffed ones and an Odie too.
ReplyDeleteGotta love it! I've saved several strips from Garfield for my permanent collection. 40 years though?!? Garfield is as old as I am?!? Sheesh!
