+ I try to
keep lines simple and that's something I learned by watching Charles Schulz. My
strip is pretty clean looking, stylistically. I avoid anything that's not necessary
to move the gag forward. Once the strip is reduced to the size you see in the
newspaper, anything extra would just be clutter.

he's a creative outlet for me, so I get to entertain through him without having
to go out and entertain myself - because tomorrow, I'll go into relative obscurity
and he'll still be out there. He means I have security, he means a lot of good
things. At times, he may require feeding and grooming, but not really that often;
it's great work if you can get it. (talking about Garfield)
+ Way down
deep, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by
them.

Garfield is
a lazy, fat, self-indulgent cat who thinks he's a human. He is wry and quick-witted
and makes no apologies for himself. When he's not napping or eating, he's kicking
Odie.
