very intersting video about!

Loved this mini documentary! As a fan of Garfield since I was a kid I can't be more thankful to Mr. Davis.

inspiring thoughts, thank you

I hope Jim gets a royalty check from Seth and Family Guy show for glomming his style on Garfield.

Garfield helped me through a rough time.

10:01 I have never successfully taken a selfie. 🤣

This was really cool. Odd that US Acres didn't even get a passing mention, though.

As a lifelong Garfield fan, I am so glad I found this and got to watch it. Jim Davis is truly an underrated man.

The Garfield Thanksgiving special is comedy gold!

👍💗🐈🐱

He seems like he deserves everything he accomplished

James Andrew "Garfield" Davis. Born July 28,1945 in Marion,Indiana. Grew up in Muncie, Graduated from Ball State.

I use to go in the Art Department at BSU. I went for materials to make my creations in the Dorm. Nice department. RWB 69-70

This is a wonderful interview with Jim Davis. Garfield is a part of my childhood as much as Star Wars, Transformers, He-Man and Star Trek. I still have all of my Garfield books.

absolute unit of man, idk why everyone hates him and Garfield 😭😂 I luv garf tbh 💗

Here I am making political comics that are horrible and shocking. Am I doing it wrong?

This is great! Garfield will always be an American classic

Tocan como la mierda

"Mondays" and our unstoppable family unit are the best to find out even about, after being one of the friends and never a "kicker". Stay safe everyone!

Garfield funny

Own Jim Davis was so cute when he was a litle Boy

Thanks for the video

I want him to come back but he i is ded SAD

The real America through a cat. You will notice a political hint in his comics but it's mockery dark humor. Nothing too serious and obvious.

I created Phantom Raven gremlin comics

Many thanks, it's cool

Love Garfield always wanted to go see Paws Inc. my brother Jerry Sisco which has done work for Jim had made plans several time take me to visit Paws Inc, but something would always happen and we didn’t make it but maybe I can get back up there soon....

He must really love that character to still be drawing him after 40 years. I suppose it's hard not to be fond of someone who made you rich! I'm surprised Jim Davis is such a country boy. I always got a strong East Coast vibe from the strip.

23:11 "The difficulty is saying something funny that's not offensive". Meanwhile, in another part of America, Gary Larson puts pen to paper.

Odd that he didn’t mention the pipe strip. I wonder if he even remembers making it. Or maybe the universal force who was channeling truth and light directly through him that day was so powerful it took the memory of the day with it.

These days when sometimes instead of the newspapers they post it on instagram 👏😁

"Out of all articles of Garfield that I've seen, they're all cute" *cut to Gorefeld*

Jim Davis masterclass please!

But wheres is the pipe?

I'm just playing I luv you jim :3

Jim: he's a human in a cat suit Me: So he's a furry.

There's two things I think Jim Davis has ever said he regrets about Garfield. One is that he originally was going to have Garfield eat pizza instead of lasagna. But changed it to lasagna because he felt it was a more unique food. But he found lasagna harder to draw than pizza. And his second regret was putting stripes on Garfield. Garfield was originally a completely orange cat. But someone at the syndicate requested Garfield to have stripes. So Jim, being eager to get his comic in a newspaper, fulfilled that request, and it became Garfield's signature look. But he says he wished he hadn't because it would've saved him from having to draw millions of stripes over the years.

I wish Jim had told you the story of how Garfield and Friends came to be. Yes, he was approached by CBS to do a Garfield show. But Jim Davis turned down the offer initially, as he felt that Garfield was famous enough, and didn't need any more press. Jim then counter-pitched CBS a US Acres show instead. A comic strip about farm animals he was doing at the time, hoping it would become as popular as Garfield. CBS wasn't very interested in a US Acres show, but was still very interested in doing a Garfield show. So they made a compromise to make a show with both Garfield and US Acres. And that's where the "and Friends" came from.

Garfield is my favorite cartoon ever. I am a Garfield fanatic. And there are a few people in Garfield lore I idolize. Obviously Jim Davis. But also Lorenzo Music; the one and only *true* voice of Garfield. Garfield just doesn't sound right without him. Mark Evanier; the man responsible for 99% of the show, _Garfield and Friends._ Which also happens to be my all-time favorite show. And Phil Roman; the man who brought Garfield to life.

This is just wonderful.

As a life-long Garfield fan and television animation director, I must say, you did an amazing job with this. Classy, tasteful, informative, and charming in every way, congratulations.

one of my favorite cartoonists love his humility

Laufield are Garfield’s daughter ♥️♥️♥️ I love you, Garfield

Incredibly well done. This deserves more views for sure.

Excellent documentary, thank you very much!

Really nicely done documentary. Great to hear Davis explain his whole thought process behind the comic.
