The name "Garfield" first became known through the comic strip of the same name by Jim Davis, which was published in 1978. The show is about the cat Garfield, dog Odie and their owner Jon Arbuckle. The human problems of the cat are thematized, such as diets, Mondays but also boredom. At the same time, the behavior between owner and pet is parodied. Garfield is a fat orange cat with black stripes on his back. His favorite dish is lasagna, since he was born in an Italian restaurant and ate all the lasagna there.
