Pages for Misc. Content
The following subjects are under consideration for obtaining pages or sub-pages here:
- Appearances in other media- e.g. news programs featuring Jim Davis being interviewed, "Garfield" appearing as part of special programs.
- Pop culture references- Garfield referenced in other media.
We'll also need to know how to attempt such pages- in ways that can be considered most effective and proper.
Largely Absent for Now
Due to multiple circumstances- overall burnout- I plan to be largely inactive on this wiki, as well as on Discord. Don't know when I'll be back regularly, but I still plan to check on here for important things. I'd just like to reshape things for myself during this time.
Don't worry about me, I plan to make my comeback reinvigorated. Just be sure to do your best on here with whatever it is you're doing (unless it's vandalism).

Does anyone know, or at least have any idea, who did the voice of Garfield in this commercial ca. 2002/2003?
It's got to be one of the first post-Lorenzo Music projects, so surely it's not Music. I used to think it was Jon Barnard, given how he handled commercials for much of the 2000s, but after rediscovering this ad, it doesn't sound like him to me. It also doesn't sound like Frank Welker (who only became a regular as Garfield in 2007, anyway).
So, who is voicing the fat cat here?
