Those of you, who watched both Garfield and Friends and The Garfield Show may have noticed couple of common features between the cartoons. I do not mean Garfield, Odie, Nermal and Jon Arbuckle - without them, those cartoons would have never belonged to Garfield universe.
I'm writing this blog entry about two particular characters, who share the name of Miss Kitty:
As you can see, the one from "The Garfield Show" seems loosely based on original from The Cactus Saga episode, least in terms of fashion. The one in right herself is nobody than simple recolor of Mindy from Black Cat Blues , just supplemented with outfit, makeup and couple of props. Original Miss Kitty from the third season of "Garfield and Friends" ( left) has been certainly drawn for the episode, since she doesn't appear in following episodes, not to mention she's not resembling any other female from Garfield cartoons.
We could ask, if people working on Glitter Gulch episode have intentionally gone for such crossover between Mindy and original Miss Kitty, or was it completely unintended. In case the first option is correct, In my opinion, using original Miss Kitty from "Cactus Saga" would have more sense than such crossover. At least it would make common point between both cartoons.
