Garfield #9

Garfield is fully aware of the internet age on this playful KaBOOM! cover, where the lasagna-loving tabby holds up a smartphone while dangling a wide-eyed gray kitten — complete with a thought bubble warning readers that buying this comic is the only thing standing between them and yet another cute cat going viral online. It's the kind of self-aware humor that makes Jim Davis's creation so enduring, and this 2013 issue wears that wit right on its cover. A charming pick for fans of Garfield's signature brand of lazy-but-clever comedy.
