Cartoons Books

Words cannot convey my feelings for this book

A very funny Garfield TV Special! When Garfield and his pals Jon and Odie win a pet show they go to Hollywood for a really tough competion!

I read this book at my cousin's house when I was eight years old, and never forgot it. It made a Garfield fan out of me. The plot, characters (which were new to me at the time) and funny drawings all appealed strongly to me.

A Garfield comic.
Garfield is in bed
JON:Garfield, GARFIELD
GARFIELD:i'm not in right now, if you'd care to leave a messege, wait for the tone.
By the way this is so funny!
Now what are you waiting for?
Drop everything.

It's one of the funniest books I ever read!Here's a little sample: You know your getting fat when the phone company gives you your own area code.

Everybody out there keep buying Garfield books! They can be worth a lot of money someday and can become collector's items! I'm always going to keep all of mine so when I have kids they can read them!

All this book is, is a collection of the daily comic from the last book with very little new material. I don't think they've created any new material for this strip sense Liz and John ended up together.

Bought it for my son. He is a big Garfield fan. He was not disappointed.

This book is just as funny and enjoyable as Garfield has always been! Our family really enjoys the full color format of the more recent years. I will definately be purchasing any new ones that are issued.

Thanks for the great service! The delivery was timely and the merchandise was in mint condition.

Man I love the mid to late 1980's version of Garfield cause the pictures have gotten better and they came up with more funny stuff like Garfield waking Jon up in the middle of the night.
It is also my understanding that Garfield books will someday become collector's items and unfortunately, I lost one of my Garfield books and hopefully I'll be able to find it or replace it.

This is one of my favorite Garfield books! It has great jokes and gags and side-splitting pictures!! Any Garfield fan must read this book!! - Derrick Williams 15 (8/3/98)

Jim Davis, the author and illustrator of the Garfield comic strip, has a very wry and ironic sense of humor. Garfield the cat keeps his aloof perspective on the world of his human servant, Jon, and his silly, not-too-intelligent companion Odie. We are the beneficiaries of Garfield's point of view to the point of frequent laughter.

This book is a collection of strips drawn in 1992. Here is a selection of the vignettes for your consideration. In the opening of a strip Jon runs yelling "Giant rat!" Garfield watches nonchalantly as Jon runs off strip. Garfield then wonders whether he mentioned that he shaved Odie. In another strip Garfield intrigues us with his Birdbath of Death. In yet another strip Garfield discovers that a stack of cookies he just ate may have included a coaster.

Books about Garfield are consistently humorous, often to the point of needing to laugh out loud. Be sure you read this book alone. If not, everyone will think you are crazy for laughing so much. Enjoy!

I loved at each of these "furry" tales. Garfield in fairy tales will make children of all ages laugh at Garfields humor. They are fun and an easy read. Give this to anyone having a hard day- it will brighten their day.

I am a Garfield lover so I like most Garfield books including this one. I do believe it was well drawn,and written.Funny, delightful for most ages, and you should read it.

This is a great book. My grandchildren and I giggled our way through it as we shared the stories of "Garfield and the Three Bears, " Little Red Riding Odie," and "Garfield and the Sleeping Beauty."
We are all familiar with these tales, but take out the usual characters and replace them with Garfield or Odie and you are in for a real treat and a whole bunch of giggles. The illustrations are outstanding as well. All in all a read winner of a book. Highly recommended.

Garfield's Jolly Holiday three pack is a great book not only because of the great stories inside but the price and the number. I've never liked garfield except tv specials so this book is great I think.

These three books are great and having them all in one is even better

Garfield's Jolly Holiday 3-pack is a great book. It's just like the other Garfield Fat Cat 3-Packs, but it's in color. Also, they are based on television episodes of Garfield. My favorite was 'A Garfield Christmas.' I loved the price, and highly recommend it for holiday gifts.

This calendar is fun. I enjoy the light hearted aproach to the months.

`Get Fuzzy,' is one of my favorite cartoons. The calendar is functional

and fun at the same time.

If you are a Get Fuzzy fan, you'll love this calendar! Large, colorful, what's not to like? I get one every year, and keep important dates written in the large squares.

The humor, characterizations, and masterful drawing combine to elevate this strip to the top tier. (Drawing: Placement of characters in individual frames amounts to cinematography. Satchel's facial expressions and body language capture dogginess). I love the guyzo's and never miss a day.
This is a good starter book for anyone unfamiliar with the strip.

If you're interested in learning the art of cartooning and maybe even making some money along the way, this book should be one of the first you pick up! It covers how to draw funny cartoon characters, how to develop your own style and characters, how to get funny ideas, how to sketch and ink your cartoons, where and how to sketch and ink your cartoons, where and how to sell your cartoons, and some extra stuff--everything you could need to know! In addition, this book is filled with gag cartoons and strips from some of the most prolific cartoonists in the business. Take my advice: If you're going to by books on cartooning, the Randy Glasbergen books are some of the best! Highly recommend.

I'd been looking for this kind of think forever and I finally found it for 5 bucks at the mall complex near the city where I vacation often. It has to be the best book I've ever owned.

This is an easy to read, compact (117 page) mini-course for anyone considering a career in cartooning. Illustrated throughout by Randy Glasbergen's unique cartoon style, this book first shows how to draw funny cartoon characters, then launches into the kinds of skills needed to compete in today's competitive environment: how to develop your own characters and style; how to create clever cartoon ideas; how to sketch and ink your drawings; and how and where to sell your finished cartoons.

Interspersed are 8 "Cartoonist Profiles". In each Randy introduces the reader to a successful working professional. Tom Cheney is but one example. Thousands of his cartoons have appeared in the New Yorker, National Lampoon, Cosmopolitan, Woman's World, the Wall Street Journal, and 400 other publications worldwide. Another example is "Revilo," whose real name is Oliver Christianson. Oliver spent many years creating cards for the Hallmark greeting card company. Each of these "profiled cartoonists" supplies the reader with his or her own sound advice.

Every so often Randy gives a "homework" assignment, a challenging lesson to help the reader to practice what he has been learning. Afterall, if you are going to "draw and sell" cartoons, you will need to actually apply your ideas, your pencil, and your pen to paper.

Who better to write a book on "Getting Started Drawing and Selling Cartoons" than someone like Randy, who is one of the most widely and frequently published cartoonists in America today, and has drawn "The Better Half" comic panel since 1982?

The back cover concludes with these words: "With this book, you'll learn the ins and outs you need to succeed in this fun-filled -- and lucrative -- market." Very well expressed!

But even if you never sell a cartoon anywhere in your life, this
book will give you a wonderful behind-the-scenes look at this excellent profession.

I have had some experience in this field. I have sold hundreds of cartoon ideas and cartoons over the years, and I recommend Randy Glasbergen's "Drawing and Selling Cartoons" very highly.

The author knows how to write and tell a funny story which is a rare combination for today's standards. Each page made me laugh and I can't wait for Richards next book. This is a great book for anyone who appreciates a rich sense of humor and good writing.

I'm a professional Comic and this book came recomended from a "co-worker". I decided to read the book in order, although it says you don't have to, and was very surprised at just how funny it was. Any one who enjoys porn, hookers, or an all out laugh riot will find this book hard to put down. A real page turner.

As someone who likes comedy, how could I not try this title? The book isn't too long which seems somewhat common among works of comic prose. Turns out to be a good thing, as the pages are so packed, anymore humor might have killed me. These stories had me laughing from the first sentence - actually from the story titles! Do take Mr. Richards' advice from the preface on reading the stories in order. For any fan of social satire, this is a find. I don't know where Mr. Richards can go from here, but I know I'll want to be on the sidelines.
