Here's a curio I found when going through the 20th Anniversary web pages - the earliest prototype Garfield plush, sewn by Carolyn Davis.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
Judging by the toy's shape, it was based on 1978-80 Garfield design.
Chubster Garfield plush! (I usually use weird words like this to describe cuteness in a weird way.)
Oh my, if it's before he had striped this must be from 1976-1978! What a find!!
What do you think?
