Lock up the lasagna! Chain the chicken! And hold on to your funny bone . . . America''s favorite cat is hungrier, funnier, lazier, grouchier and more lovable than ever before!

Garfield lives his life to the fullest . . . 9 times! Cave Cat -- the first cat crawled out of the sea 10 million years ago. He was happy to be out of the water -- until he met Big Bob! The Vikings -- he was big, he was mean, he was a Viking. Garfield the Orange had looted a lot of cities, but none like St. Paul, Minnesota. Babes and Bullets -- Sam Spayed wasn''t the best private investigator in the world, but he did have one terrific thing going for him -- a secretary who made a great cup of coffee. The Exterminators -- no mouse was safe from the exterminators. Catching mice was their life. It wasn''t a pretty job -- especially the way they did it. Lab Animal -- specimen 19-GB was not happy at the prospect of being dissected, so he did something about it. What happened set the federal government on its ear. The Garden -- life was a carefree romp among hovering harmonicas for Cloey and the orange kitten . . . until they confronted the crystal box. Primal Self -- he was an ordinary house cat leading an ordinary existence. A shadowy memory from another time changed all that. Garfield -- the marvelous cat we all know and love. This is his life in a nutshell. Space Cat -- he was lost in space with a computer built by the lowest bidder. And, he was not about to let his life slip away that easily.

It''s not that he doesn''t have plenty to think about. Garfield could ponder the fact that he''s the most popular cat in feline history. He could even examine his soul to discover why he''s so funny, so mean to Odie, so nice to Nermal, and so exasperating and lovable to Jon. But he''d probably just prefer to think about food....

He sleeps late and wakes up grouchy. He hates joggers, beats up dogs, and shreds his owner. He''s cynical, witty, urbane, and sometimes downright mean. But best of all, he''s back, better than ever, to delight cat-lovers and cat-haters alike.
