The restaurant owner, forced to choose between Garfield and closing his doors for lack of pasta, sold Garfield to a pet store. Garfield thought he was a goner until Jon Arbuckle walked in the door. The rest is history. Softcover (Horizontal Format), 8 1/2-in. x 5-in., 128 pages, B&W. All Ages Cover price $4.95.
