June 19

On June 19, 1978, the Garfield comic strip had its premiere in 41 newspapers throughout the United States. The daily interactions between Garfield, his owner Jon, and his pet dog, Odie, are filled with dry humour and observations on the banal in the cartoon strips. A celebrity appears on a sunny summer day and goes on to become a worldwide phenomenon. He is an Emmy winner, the star of his own film, the face of a cookbook, a chart-topping music artist, a professor who promotes children's learning, and an environmentalist. In addition, he appears on a regular basis in your favourite Young World, teasing your funny bone.
