Here are some GOOD Garfield comics to read, as an antidote to this movie and as a reminder of why the comic was so much fun to read. All these comics can be read on the Garfield website. It’s a shame that the movie didn’t tap into the zaniness that the comic had.
“Garfield meets his mother” arc (December 3-December 25 1984)
