Original and final art by Jim Davis from a Garfield Sunday strip, published by 

United Feature Syndicate, April 30, 1989. 

this is pretty fuckin’ neat actually, and I wish there was more stuff like this online (a Google search turned up only one other Garfield rough)

Brett Koth and Gary Barker were the artists of the final Garfields for decades (likely the case in this one), but I think that is Davis’s actual art in the rough, which is something you don’t see very often. He’s actually pretty good!

Naturally, the roughs looks better than the overpolished final too, though it’s odd that they were penciled AND inked, isn’t it?
