This collection turned out pretty good. Just when I thought Davis may be running out of steam, he
reveals some more amusing strips. Some highlights include:

• The mice install air conditioning.
• Garfield's advice for dealing with what's going on (ignore it). 
• The spider gets a fitness tracker.

Davis has also gotten a bit better about keeping up with popular culture, but odds are in a decade or so some of these strips will seem dated. Until that happens, enjoy the humor now. Still, the book was a fun, comfort read overall, and I really liked it. If you are looking for some good humor and smiles, this is pretty good.

4 out of 5 stars.
