(504) 384-1421 BY MICHELE COHEN Ever hear of a cat who loves to eat lasagna, chase destroy mailman, and fears mice? This cat's name is Garfield and he inhabits a space in a daily comic strip. For those readers who are old Garfield fans sits or are newly acquainted with the comic strip character, there's good news at band! Garfield's cartoonist Jim Davis has just written book filled with hilarious into Garfield situations. The book called At Large (with a picture of Garfield on the cover saying "I resent is fun filled fast reading that is guaranteed to keep the reader chuckling from start to finish. In his first book, Garfield outsmarts his owner Jon, his friend Lyman, and Lyman's dos, Odie. Garfield isn't too happy with Ode staying in his house; in fact Garfield isn't too fond of dons altogether.

When Jon asks Garfield what be wants for Christmas Garfield replys slave dogs," Jon answers "a nice fluffy ball of yarn" Garfield comes back with "I think I'll put a piranha in his Christmas stocking." He doss however, think highly of Rin-Tin-Tin. "I'd say Rin-Tin-Tin has greatly influenced my career. Good actor, nice dog dippy name." Besides not liking dogs, Garfield hates diets. He describes diets as "die with a tat the end." His favorite food is lasagna. It is believed that Garfield was born in an Italian restaurant weighing five pounds, six ounces at birth.

That's a lot of cat. The restaurant owner had to choose between closing his restaurant because the pasta loving kitten would eat him out of business, or sell him to a pet store where his present owner Jon Arbuckle found him. Another Garfield hobby is sleeping. He gets sleeping attacks. He isn't sure of what he loves more eating or sleeping.

It seems as if the eating comes out slightly ahead. Jan complains to Garfield, "You sleep too much, you eat too much, and you watch too much Garfield quips back, "What does Jon expect of me, anyway? I'm only Jon often gets angry at his furry friend for scratching his favorite chair or pair of pants. Garfield even humiliated his owner. Jon announced, "that's the last time I'll take you to the grocery store, Garfield. I've never been so humiliated in my life." Garfield retorts, "So I ate the pastry section, big deal." Garfield At Large is very funny, It's a book for both cat lovers and cat haters.

People who aren't too crazy about cats will be mad about Garfield. Reading Garfield at Large won't only make you chuckle, it will make you laugh out loud. He is a very funny cat. In one frame he is watching the Mickey Mouse show, sitting in a chair with a mouseketeer bat on. Jon laughs and says, "A cat who likes Mickey Mouse." Garfield responds with, "shake it, Annette." Even though Garfield and Jon are at odds with each other at times they still admire and love each other greatly.

Jon is sitting alone looking sad when Garfield comes trotting over with a warm smile on his face and sits in Jon's lap. Jon says, "Cats are nice to have when you're feeling In a lonely mood, Garfield at Large will turn a frown into a smile. If you are happy Garfield At Large guaranteed to make you happier.
