Garfield #8

The holidays get a little more chaotic in this 2012 Kaboom! holiday issue, with cover art by Gary Barker and Dan Davis showing Garfield riding shotgun alongside Santa Claus in a flying sleigh — candy canes, a bulging gift sack, and a whole team of reindeer thundering overhead. It's a cheerful, sky-high scene that perfectly captures the fat cat's talent for landing in the most comfortable seat in the house, even on Christmas Eve. With a story called "The Never-Ending Tale of Santa Mouse" and a creative team that includes writer Mark Evanier and artist Andy Hirsch, this issue delivers exactly the kind of warm, playful holiday fun Garfield fans love.
