Twenty-five years of that fat, oranged cat with stripes. Yup, Garfield is still with us and celebrating a quarter century. Creator Jim Davis continues on with the lasagna obsessing, spider-smashing, and Odie bashing. His ambition is to “write that one gag that makes the whole world laugh.” Because the Garfield universe is timeless, Davis can work far in advance. He’s currently working on strips for next summer. That’s around the time a feature-length film about the grumpy kitty is scheduled for release.
