GARFIELD, JON, AND ODIE
CELEBRATE
30 YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP!
GARFIELD & FRIENDS: A CAT AND HIS NERD
 CENTURY CITY , Calif. – Garfield may not be the
best-trained cat on the block, but he certainly can claim he has the best-trained
owner on the block! Garfield’s been manipulating his loyal owner,
Jon Arbuckle, for 30 years – but Jon, the decent but dull fellow
who caters to the portly puss, will finally steal the spotlight in Garfield:
A Cat and His Nerd, a new DVD from Fox Home Entertainment, due out May
13th.
In 15 hilarious episodes
from the popular “Garfield & Friends” television
series, America’s favorite lasagna-loving cat, his faithful brown-eared
mutt Odie, and proud, yet goofy owner Jon, celebrate 30 years of friendship
and fun. Hand-picked by Garfield Creator Jim Davis to pay tribute to the
head of Garfield’s mismatched family, this collection features the
many adventures – and misadventures – of Jon, Garfield’s
beloved owner. GARFIELD was born under the hand of cartoonist Jim Davis
30 years ago, and his sass, cynicism, and wry wit, have made him a household
name. Now, GARFIELD is the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip
reaching over 230 million readers daily, with a new television series in
the making and two feature-length films under his belt. Garfield has shown
he definitely has more than nine lives, as he delves into another new venue
with three direct-to-DVD movie releases, all written by Davis.
A perfect gift for kids, families and Garfield lovers everywhere, the Garfield:
A Cat And His Nerd DVD will be available for the suggested
retail price of $14.98 U.S./$16.98 Canada. Pre-book is April 2.
Synopsis :
Jon Arbuckle is polite,
he has a good job, and he really takes care of Garfield and Odie. But
because he’s not exactly a smooth operator,
things don’t always go smoothly for him. Yet, whether he’s
dealing with a lackluster love life, an amorous auto or a con artist convict,
Jon always has a couple of playful pals at home who love him!
