Page "Garfield" Paragraph 33

Other unique themes are things like “ Garfield ’ s Believe it or Don ’ t ,” “ Garfield ’ s Law ", “ Garfield ’ s History of Dogs, and “ Garfield ’ s History of Cats ,” which show science, history and the world from Garfield ’ s point of view.

Another particular theme is " National Fat Week ," where Garfield spends the week making fun of skinny people.

Also, there was a storyline involving Garfield catching Odie eating his food and “ kicking Odie into next week .” Soon, Garfield realizes that “ Lunch isn ’ t the same without Odie.

He always slips up behind me, barks loudly and makes me fall into my food ,” ( Garfield subsequently falls into his food by himself ).

A few days after the storyline began, Garfield is lying in his bed with a “ nagging feeling I'm forgetting something ,” with Odie landing on Garfield in the next panel.

Ever since Jon and Liz began to go out more frequently, Jon has started hiring pet sitters to look after Garfield and Odie, though they don't always work out.

Two particular examples are Lillian, an eccentric ( and very nearsighted ) old lady with odd quirks, and Greta, a muscle bound woman who was hired to look after the pets during New Years.

Most of December is spent preparing for Christmas, with a predictable focus on presents.

Another example is " Splut Week ", when Garfield tries to avoid pies that are thrown at him.

For most of Garfield's history, being hit with a pie has inevitably resulted in the onomatopoeia ' splut ', hence the name.
