This is part of a series where the publisher puts three previously published books into one larger omnibus volume. This volume includes the following titles:
- Garfield: Survival of the Fattest (#40).
- Garfield: Older and Wider (#41).
- Garfield Pigs Out (#42).
If you've read the comics before, then you know the basics: Garfield the constantly hungry and sleeping cat, Jon his nerdy single owner (he eventually starts dating Liz the Vet, but not yet), the mice, so on. Overall, the humor is light and amusing. For me these comics are mostly comfort reading; they are something nice and easy to read. They are also good for when I need a break from more serious reading.
For libraries, these editions can be a good addition, though durability can vary as they are paperbacks. However, they are nice books with a lot of content and in full color, so they can be a good value.
Overall, I liked it.
3 out of 5 stars.
