Garfield is no ordinary cat. This chubby, lazy, wisecracking feline has been a part of our lives since Jim Davis introduced him to the world in 1978. Named after Davis' own grandfather, Garfield's life, alongside his owner Jon Arbuckle and canine counterpart, Odie, has been documented in an impressive 13,695 issues as of December 2015. Such was its popularity that Garfield earned the Guinness World Record for the world's most widely syndicated comic strip.

Garfield's impact extends far beyond the daily papers. Featured in TV shows and movies including 'The Garfield Show' and 'Garfield: The Movie', the character is part of a larger universe encompassing iconic names such as Batman, Spider-Man and Peanuts. For true Garfield enthusiasts, a journey into Davis' early history as a cartoonist and Garfield's merchandise is a must, with many making a pilgrimage to Davis' birthplace in Fairmount, Indiana, and the home of Paws Inc. in Muncie, as documented in 2020 by YouTuber Quinton Reviews.

When to visit Garfield

When planning your Garfield-themed trip, it's best to consider the seasons. Summer months in the USA, particularly in western states like California, can be hot - ideal for those who enjoy basking in the sun as much as Garfield himself. However, spring and autumn offer a wonderful compromise if you prefer to avoid both extreme heat and crowds.

July and August are often the peak tourist seasons, thanks to school vacations and spring breaks. If you're looking for a quieter visit, consider a winter adventure to California's coastal areas, where mild winters prevail and the crowds have dispersed somewhat. Please note, however, that for those interested in heading inland to visit places like Yosemite, winter access may be restricted due to snowfall. Whatever the season, your perfect Garfield adventure awaits.
