An insatiable love of lasagna, a snarky disposition, and an utter distaste for Mondays. These qualities proved to be Jim Davis’ master formula for creating the most iconic cartoon cat in pop culture history, Garfield. Following his debut in 1978, the cynical and slightly overweight tabby has gone on to star in countless comics and spawned several animated television specials, two animated television series, two feature-length live-action/CGI animated films, and three fully CGI animated direct-to-video movies. 

As 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of the original grumpy cat, ProfessorGarfield is the perfect place to reminisce over the feisty feline’s long-standing history. Here you can read through classic Garfield comics by Davis, as well as play Garfield-themed games.
