Cartoon
Fun Facts:
American
cartoonist Jim
Davis (born
July 28, 1945)
is the creator
of the popular
comic strip
Garfield, which
he created in
1978 and is
now one of the
most popular
cartoon characters
in the world.
On June 19,
1978, Garfield
started syndication
in 41 newspapers.
Today, it appears
in more than
2,000 newspapers.
Garfield's
name comes from
Davis' grandfather,
James Garfield
Davis.
Ironically,
Davis did not
have cats when
he started Garfield
and still does
not today, as
his wife is
allergic to
them. He does,
however, have
a dog named
Molly.
