Garfield #14

A beach day goes hilariously sideways on this sunny 2013 cover from Kaboom!/Boom! Studios, as Garfield, Odie, a gray cat, Liz, and Jon all crowd the volleyball net — the big "BONK!" says everything you need to know about how that last serve went. Cover pencils by Gary Barker with inks by Mark Heike and Stephanie Heike bring plenty of expressive chaos to the sandy scene, right down to a tiny stuffed bear watching from the ground with sunglasses. At $3.99, issue #14 delivers the kind of warm-weather slapstick that makes Garfield such an enduring good time.
