He’s orange. He loves lasagna. He is not too much unlike me, only I’m not orange. He sang, he danced, and loved to take a nap. Garfield was one of those characters I loved to read every Sunday in the newspaper’s funny section. Fun fact about me: my immense love of Italian food has earned me the nickname “Garfield” from more than one person.

New from KaBOOM!, BOOM! Studios’ kid-friendly imprint, comes an ongoing series featuring everyone’s favorite feasting feline. Illustrated by Gary Barker, Garfield strip cartoonist, everyone’s joining the adventures for this new ongoing series; Jon, Odie, and hopefully everyone’s favorite adorably annoying kitten, Nermal. I’m looking forward to seeing Garfield again drawn in the style of the newspaper strips, with all my favorite characters!
