I truly believe that there are some people who are
put on the planet to make the rest of us feel good about ourselves. In the
world of cartoons and comic strips, Garfield is “the one.” No one can be as
lazy, sneaky, and indifferent as Garfield and still be as lovable. As
self-centered as he can be, Garfield has redeeming moments and qualities. He’s
not a mean or hateful cat; that would require too much effort. Though he’s not
swarming with friends and invitations, he loves the ones he’s close to and they
love him.
The truth is, I relate to Garfield. It’s hard to
explain, but that cat gets in my head. When I write sometimes, I try to think
what Garfield would do and do the opposite. When push comes to shove, Garfield
would never sit idly by if his friends truly needed him, but if a plate of
lasagna was in his way, it might take him a while to come to the rescue.
