I remembered buying each certain volume for nearly $... each back when I was still in middle school. Now that they have the 3-pack volume out, this is definitely worth buying.- It saves you money over buying each volume individually- 3 in 1 fun- Great way to start collecting the whole Garfield's series- Great for anyone! Kids, Adults, or even grandparents that love comic books- Great way to make your kids love readingOnce you buy one, you will want to buy the other 3-pack volumes as well! When you read, be sure to wear a diaper, because it might make you pee in your pants. :)
My wife and I are both fans of Garfield, and the new, colorized versions of the Fat Cat 3-Packs are great for us. They're made out of better stuff than the old, black & white versions, and, heck, they're colorized. If you're a Garfield fan, you can't go wrong with these. They're taller and thinner than the old format, so they fit better on a bookshelf. The paper and cover both have a better, stronger feel to them. The only way I can think of to improve it would be to release Garfield in hardcover.
Growing up I loved reading the Garfield comics. My eight year old son asked for one of the Garfield comics and I was happy to oblige. This was a 3-pack which is more bang for you buck. It gets rather expensive buying each individual volume. The art is the same and the strips colors are as vivid as ever. If you love reading Cathy, Calvin & Hobbes and Archie comics, then you should check out Garfield. Who doesn't love an obnoxious fat cat??!Highly recommend for any age! These are good clean funnies that will keep you laughing for hours.
My 8 year old son is slightly obsessed with Garfield. This book is just as good as all the others. The newest addition to his collection that he's really enjoying is 20 Years & Still Kicking, Garfield's Twentieth Anniversary Collection. Includes sketches from Jim Davis's original sketchbook, photos, trivia. Definitely a must have for any serious Garfield nut!
I bought this for my 9 yr. old comic book loving son. Since I enjoyed reading them as a child I didn't have to worry about the humor being inappropriate. My son loves Garfield so much he reads to his 7 yr. brother every night. We are up to volume four and they are all in tatters because of there repeat use. Because of my older son and Garfield, my younger son has been encouraged to read more on his own and for that I am eternally greatful.
Jim Davis finally has a new theme to work with - Jon and Liz. The result is some of the most original material in his past 10 boooks. Not to take anything away from those books, but this one shines out. I look forward to reading it through many more times on the jon.
Like another reviewer here, I collected the individual Garfield books when I was around 10 or 11 years old. I've long since lost those treasured and well-worn volumes, so this was a real treat (not to mention quite a bargain).A word of warning, though, to those who didn't follow Jim Davis' comic cat from the beginning: The early strips--mostly volume one here--are quite different from the Garfield we came to know and love. Rather than being pleasantly plump, the original Garfield was kinda mean and scary-looking. But the cynical wit was there from the beginning, as well as John, Odie and a few other soon-to-be-forgotten characters (Lyman, anyone?).I personally think the best was yet to come when these books were originally published. But there's still much to love. And for a Garfield fan, this is simply a must-have.
This book is just as funny and enjoyable as Garfield has always been! Our family really enjoys the full color format of the more recent years. I will definately be purchasing any new ones that are issued.
