Garfield - Se prend au jeu
Il est très fortement question que ce charmant matou ait un site sur le net et son parc de loisirs dans l'Indiania ! Avec tout son petit monde : sa gamelle, sa gamelle et sa gamelle. Et aussi son fauteuil, sa couverture, sa télé avec les émissions sur les bienfaits du foie gras, ses pizzas, ses beignets et, accessoirement, Jon, son maître adoré, et son copain Odie, le modèle de chien ludique qui a perpétuellement la pêche - c'est insupportable. Et comment notre héros prend-il la nouvelle ? Comme d'habitude : à l'horizontale, le ventre en l'air. Il s'est tellement goinfré au déjeuner de six heures qu'il a raté le dîner, et ça l'inquiète : il va peut-être mourir de faim. Côté vie active, il se fait piéger par une pelote de laine et voit défiler sa vie entière devant ses yeux comme le veut la coutume. Bilan : sa vie ressemble à un clip pour un fast-food. Mais graphiquement, le combat contre la pelote de laine est intéressant. L'autre grande nouvelle, c'est qu'il va avoir seize ans. Ça ne le ravit pas trop. Le seul truc sympa, c'est l'idée du cadeau : deux milliards de chiens esclaves, le pouvoir mondial ou une broutille du même genre... Mais finalement, Jon lui propose une grosse pizza avec garniture complète, et ça fait très bien l'affaire.

About the author
Jim Davis
2,361 books641 followersJames Robert "Jim" Davis is an American cartoonist who created the popular comic strip Garfield. Other comics that he has worked on are Tumbleweeds, Gnorm Gnat, Slapstick, and a strip about Mr. Potato Head.
Jim Davis was born in Fairmount, Indiana, near Marion, where he grew up on a small farm with his father James William Davis, mother Anna Catherine (Carter) Davis, brother Dave, and 25 cats. Davis' childhood on a farm parallels the life of his cartoon character Garfield's owner, Jon Arbuckle, who was also raised on a farm with his parents and a brother, Doc Boy. Jon, too, is a cartoonist, and also celebrates his birthday on July 28. Davis attended Ball State University. While attending Ball State, he became a member of the Theta Xi fraternity. He earned the dubious honor of earning one of the lowest cumulative grade point averages in the history of the university, an honor incidentally shared with Late Show host David Letterman.
Davis as of 2007 resides in Muncie, Indiana, where he and his staff produce Garfield under his company, Paws, Inc., begun in 1981. He was married to Carolyn, a singer and elementary teacher whom he met while both were attending college, and has a son named James with her. However, the couple divorced, and Davis since 2000 has been married to Jill, Paws' senior vice president of licensing, who has worked there approximately 25 years.
Ironically, Davis did not own cats when he started Garfield because of Carolyn's allergies, but they owned a Labrador retriever named Molly. With Jill, the family has expanded to include children Ashley and Chris; three grandchildren, Chloe, Carly and Cody; cats, Spunky and Nermal; and a dog, Pooky.
