Tomorrow is Garfield's birthday. He first appeared in a comic strip on June 19 ,

1978. Garfield is well known all over the world. Lots of Garfield books have been turned into 26 languages. Garfield products are sold in 69 countries.

Jim Davis is Garfield's creator. Jim was born on July 28 ,1945 in Indiana. He grew up on a farm where his dad raised cows. Jim and his brother Dave helped with the farm work. They had 25 cats. Their mum always made sure there was plenty of food for the cats.

As a boy,Jim was in poor health. When he had to spend time resting,he drew pictures. He added words to his pictures to make them funny.

After college Jim worked a few years at an advertising company. In 1969,he got a job to help a cartoonist. Jim noticed that there were many comic strips about dogs but few about cats. He thought that was strange since the world is full of cat lovers.
