Garfield the Cat CollectiblesCollecting-Celebrity-Autographs has gathered a wide selection of Garfield the Cat Collectibles for your shopping convenience. Scroll down and enjoy, but first read this review. Garfield the cat debuted in newspaper comic strips in June of 1978. An almost overnight success for Muncie, Indiana-based author Jim Davis, Garfield took less than three years to be syndicated to over 850 newspapers. As a sign of its universal appeal, Garfield continued to grow in popularity until, by 2006, Garfield was appearing in almost 2600 newspapers and generating between $750 million to $1 billion dollar worth of merchandise sales in almost every country on earth. Garfield has crossed off of the newspaper page to star in video games, critically acclaimed movies, and a range of television cartoon specials and series. The debut of the Garfield musical, “Garfield Live” in the fall of 2010 will likely spike demand for Garfield collectibles, as it tours both the United States and the world. Garfield is the story of the day to day life of a lazy, nasty, and always hungry cat (Garfield) and his interaction with his awkward owner, Jon Arbuckle, and Jon’s ever-drooling dog, Odie. Garfield’s life is focused on eating lasagna (or anything else available, other than mice), trying to survive the dreaded Monday, and terrorizing Odie. Because of the near universal appeal of the Garfield comic strip, as well as its long life, there is a range of collectible material available featuring Garfield and his dysfunctional family, and the best items are available right here on collecting-celebrity-autographs.com. Of course, there is a large selection of books collecting Garfield strips. In addition to the infamous horizontal books, larger format books, and compilations in color are also available. Of particular interest to the collector are the more obscure items. Larger-than-life-size cardboard standees are available, perfect to liven up any party (remember to serve lasagna!), as are software packages, and alarm clocks, and even, for the green set, solar powered toys!
