Who is Garfield?

Garfield is a lazy, lasagna-obsessed orange tabby cat who lives with his hapless owner Jon Arbuckle and the dim-witted dog Odie, navigating domestic life with sardonic wit and an unshakeable appetite.

Few comic characters have shown the kind of staying power that Garfield has β€” debuting in 1979 during the Bronze Age in The Calgary Herald Comic Book #5, created by Bill Hinds, this lasagna-loving feline has been a fixture on the page for nearly half a century. Sharing panels with the likes of Jon Arbuckle, Odie, Nermal, and Arlene, Garfield has built a rich, cozy world that keeps readers coming back across an extraordinary 47-year run stretching all the way to 2026. Published under Boom! Studios, the big orange cat remains one of comics' most enduring and beloved presences β€” a character whose longevity speaks for itself.
