Garfield

Fat comic cat

Garfield is a comic strip cat created by Jim Davis, known for being lazy, sarcastic, and obsessed with lasagna.

The orange tabby first appeared in 1978 and became one of the most widely syndicated comics in history.

By extension, Garfield references anything embodying his signature traits of sloth and gluttony: I'm in full Garfield mode today.

James A.

Garfield was the twentieth U.S. president, assassinated in 1881.

Garfield also appears as a surname and place name.
