How has the character Garfield evolved over the years?
In terms of personality, Garfield is a kinder, gentler cat these days… by a little bit. His rivalry with Odie is more of the sibling ilk now. He now has Pooky and Arlene to open up to. With that said, he can still be a butt at the slightest provocation. As far as Garfield’s appearance, he’s become more expressive and animated over time. His eyes and mouth are bigger. His limbs are longer allowing him a greater range of movement. He’s gradually changed in order to better serve the gags…
With a birthday coming up next month and an animated movie premiering this month the GoComics Blog Team talks with the creator of the comic strip cartoonist Jim Davis about “The Secret to Garfield’s Timeless Popularity.”
“With that said, he can still be a butt at the slightest provocation.”
“a butt”?
It’s a polite way of saying ‘ass’.
Wonder how Garfield will be when he turns 50 4 years from now?
