Garfield's 30th Anniversary in the Press

The media has taken note of the 30th anniversary of Jim Davis' Garfield comic strip, with his birthday accepted as June 19, 1978. The Indianapolis Star has published an in-depth profile of life at Paws Inc., the headquarters of Garfield in Muncie, IN, while London's Times Online speaks briefly with creator Davis about the strip, which has spawned a licensing empire of toys and animated TV shows and movies that generated an estimated $750 million to $1 billion in sales in 2004.
