Introduction:
I admit that when I saw
another “Garfield” comic on my
library shelf, I could not help myself and I ended up getting another “Garfield” comic called “Garfield Gets in a Pickle” and it is
just as hilarious and witty as the previous “Garfield” comics I had read!
What
is this story about?
In this collection, we are introduced to more
adventures of Garfield, his dim-witted sidekick Odie, his goofy owner Jon and
his level-headed girlfriend Liz and the foursome get into hilarious adventures
such as Jon and Liz going out on dinner dates, Garfield’s dealings with the
mice and Garfield’s dealings with the spiders!
What
I loved about this story:
Jim Davis’ writing:
Jim Davis’ writing continues to be
as witty and hilarious as the previous volumes and even though Garfield and his
family are still in the same situations we usually see them in (Garfield
dealing the mice and spiders, Jon and Liz going out on dates, Garfield picking
on Odie), the writing continues to be entertaining to read and I still enjoy
seeing these adventures that Garfield, Jon, Odie and Liz continue to get
into! I also loved the fact that Liz is
usually the voice of reason to Jon’s bizarre mannerisms and Garfield still
continues to snark about Jon and Odie’s buffoonery as it is great seeing these
two sane characters trying to deal with the humorous chaos going on around
them.
Jim Davis’ artwork: Jim
Davis’ artwork is still as creative and humorous as it has always been and
I loved the humorous way that Jim Davis
draws these characters as they all have huge bulging eyes that greatly reflects
the humorous nature of this series!
Final
Thoughts:
Overall, “Garfield Gets in a Pickle” is another brilliant collection of “Garfield” strips that fans of the “Garfield” series will greatly enjoy!

I miss reading the Garfield comics because I don't buy the Sunday newspaper anymore. I should see if the library has some of these books. Thanks for sharing your review. :)
