Book Description

IT'S A BIG WORLD OUT THERE--SOMEBODY'S GOT TO EAT IT!

There's never been a lasagna GARFIELD couldn't tackle, a burger he couldn't capture. GARFIELD always rises to the challenge--and so do the pounds! So whether he's cleaning his plate (and John's plate, and the neighbors' plates), prodding Odie to fetch an oncoming train, or celebrating his one-millionth meal of the day, GARFIELD's the cat that just doesn't stop--eating, that is!

From the Publisher

A few months after settling in to my new job as a Copy Assistant here at Ballantine Books, I got to dive into the fun stuff: writing cover copy. And not just any cover copy. My inaugural copy-writing assignment was the Garfield Fat Cat 3-Pack #8. I can't imagine a more pleasurable task! I combed through the hundreds of cartoons compiled for the book, laughing a lot as I looked for those classic tubby tabby moments that would translate well into copy for the back cover. After I had written the copy, my job got even better--I got to chose the funny cartoon frames that were to join the copy on the back cover to complete the package. When I told my friends what I was doing, no one could believe it: I was getting paid to read Garfield!! This collection remains one of my favorites.
