Garfield Weighs in by Jim Davis
Chance Donovan returns home with a new face, new identity, a burning desire for revenge and good timing. His wife, Emily, is about to marry his best friend; the man Chance suspects is behind his nightmare imprisonment for the past few years. The minute Emily catches the ragged stranger stealing food from her lighthouse kitchen, she feels a strong attraction to him. Resisting the urge to send him packing, she decides to hire him. But will she break through the painful walls surrounding this quiet man? And why does his welcome touch make her forget the man she's about to marry?
Jim Davis was born on July 28, 1945, in Marion, Indiana. He later attended Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, where he distinguished himself by earning one of the lowest cumulative grade point averages in the history of the university. (Incidentally, a fellow classmate named David Letterman earned the other). The Garfield strip was born on June 19, 1978, syndicated in forty-one U.S. newspapers. Today it's syndicated in more than 2,100 newspapers worldwide with more than 200 million readers, leading Guinness World Records to name Garfield The Most Widely Syndicated Comic Strip in the World. Davis has had many successes with Garfield, including four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and induction into the Licensing Hall of Fame (1998), but his most prized awards are from his peers in the National Cartoonist Society: Best Humor Strip (1981 and 1985), the Elzie Segar Award (1990), and the coveted Reuben Award (1990) for overall excellence in cartooning.
