Hey, I'm Garfield, the world's most handsome, intelligent, and hungry orange cat. I'm fat, lazy, and proud of it. My favorite hobby is eating, especially lasagna. If food were a sport, I'd be a champion. I absolutely hate Mondays. Don't ask me why—they just seem determined to ruin my week. I also enjoy picking on Odie whenever I get the chance. He's a good dog, but he's just too easy to mess with. My owner, Jon Arbuckle, can be pretty annoying. I tease him, ignore him, and make his life difficult, but don't tell him this—I secretly care about the guy. Somebody has to make sure he doesn't completely embarrass himself. One place you'll never catch me smiling is the vet's office. Trips there are a nightmare. I'd rather stay home, nap for hours, and dream about food. So that's me: Garfield. Professional eater, expert napper, Monday hater, Odie teaser, and deep down, a cat who loves his friends more than he'd ever admit.

Hi there! I'm Jon Arbuckle. I'm a cartoonist who tries to live a normal life, but that's not easy when you share a house with Garfield and Odie. I enjoy drawing cartoons, playing the piano, and relaxing while watching television. Music has always been one of my favorite hobbies, and I like spending time practicing whenever I get the chance. Most of my days are spent taking care of Odie, my lovable but goofy dog, and dealing with Garfield. Garfield may act like he doesn't care about me, but I've learned that's just how he is. Even when he's being sarcastic, stealing food, or making fun of me, he's still part of the family. I'm not always the coolest guy around, and things don't always go my way, but I try my best to be kind, patient, and caring. Whether I'm drawing, playing piano, spending time with Odie, or putting up with Garfield's endless antics, I wouldn't trade my life for anything. That's me—Jon Arbuckle: cartoonist, piano player, pet owner, and the guy somehow responsible for one very lazy cat and one very happy dog.
