Garfield in the Rough

Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield, wrote and drew this single-issue comic-strip collection from Random House in 1984, adapting the primetime television special of the same name. It sends the lasagna-loving cat and his owner Jon on a disastrous camping trip, capturing the deadpan humor and expressive art that made the strip a daily favorite. A neat, self-contained snapshot of Garfield’s 1980s peak, it remains a charming artifact for fans of the franchise.
