Featuring rare archival material and an introduction to the series by creator Jim Davis, this inaugural full-color volume will appeal both to new readers and longtime fans of the lasagna-loving cat.

Garfield Complete Works: Volume 1, 1978 & 1979 launches the consummate collection of Jim Davis’ phenomenally successful comic strip. Since its debut in 1978, Garfield has reached historic heights, becoming the world’s most widely syndicated strip.

As of now, the admins on the wiki have decided to create comic strip pages. This idea originally came from the Peanuts wiki, and this thread. The idea both applies to Garfield and U.S. Acres. More information below.

Pages can only be created by admins, meaning if you want something edited, inform an admin.

Garfield has just hit the big 40s, and to this day he is still our famous fat lasagna-loving feline. Here's to many years and more. A big special thanks goes to Jim Davis for creating Garfield, keep up the hilarious work on the strip, Davis.

Since the previous thread was getting...fat (hey, it is Garfield Wiki), I've closed it and made this second part to continue conversation.

To bring things up to speed:

Jesus Acosta has made a libelous page about me, along with other administrators, family members of mine, and someone named Alexander Kearns who is not related to me.  He may think it's a knockout case, but me...

Meanwhile, LasagnaHog has once again impersonated me (unsuccesfully) and seems proud to have no life.  I don't know what his goal is, assuming it's not being a troll (whose motives, I guess, are generally inexplicable).

A certain user that many of you know named JesusAcosta, is back and harassing the Garfield Wiki and its contributors. I used to work with Jes on the Curious George wiki, and was unaware of his antics until recently. He created a bootleg Garfield wiki called Garfield the Cat wiki in order to get revenge. garfield-the-cat.wikia.com/wiki/Garfield_The_Cat_Wiki He invited me to become an editor, but I declined. When I alerted Low Spark of Lyman about this, Jes called me a snitch and a traitor. I tried to be polite and friendly in his messages to me. I also noticed that he was harassing other Garfield members on their nonexistent profiles on his wiki, since they haven't (and will most likely never will) contributed. Earlier tonight, I noticed that Jes and his "new best friend" LasagnaHog were in the chat, so I joined. I asked what his purpose was and other questions, which only resulted them getting angry. Hog is extremely biased, even admitting to knowing only Jes' half of the story, claiming that's all he needs. The following pictures are screen shots of the majority of the conversation. (Excluded the unnecessary portions.) I swear that I felt like I was in an 80's superhero comic book, with the way the minion kisses their boss's a**. (or friend in this case) After Jes got enraged, he blocked me for a year, calling me a "Benedict Arnold traitor." The pictures are kind of messed up in their formatting on this post, but you should still be able to view them.

So that's the story. I hope this drama will rap up soon. You can view the message walls of both me and Jes for more.

Update:

Not exactly an update, but these are screenshots from his facebook wall. I accidentally made the pictures in the wrong order and the gallery is still messed up, but again, it should still be understandable.
