I have a fear of letting my mind wander. I'm afraid it might not come back.

Readers have told me that their children have learned to read after years of struggle after starting to read Garfield's comic strip and many people who have moved to the United States have said that they, too, learned English by reading Garfield.

I was in and out of comas until I was nine and I would lose entire days and weeks. The novelty of being able to really do stuff hasn't worn off - I still feel like I'm making up for lost time.

When you're through with your cat, you can't throw it in the trash.

Usually I commit to something in my head and then I start drawing.

I was very happy and honored to create the Professor Garfield Foundation with Ball State to make reading fun.

I thought you were dead, Mr. McCandles.
