<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in slightly different form in the United States by Ballantine Books ... in 1995"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>A fast-food helping of humor!</i> <p/> What is it that makes Garfield America's favorite feline? Maybe it's the way he flies through the fat lane without losing his cool or without missing a meal! You'll marvel as Garfield finds new ways to evade exercise and beat boredom. But it's nothing that a few airborne sardines can't cure, and feeding Odie a jar of sticky peanut butter is a sure way to a slobbering good time. So join Garfield and his friends before the food is gone and the fun slows down! <p/> The GARFIELD CLASSICS series collects the early years of the GARFIELD comic strip in a larger, full-color format. Garfield may have gone through a few changes, but one thing has stayed the same: his enormous appetite for food and fun. So laugh along with the classic cat, because classics are always in style.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jim Davis</b> was born on July 28, 1945, in Marion, Indiana.
