ummary

Garfield the cat lives with Jon Arbuckle and Odie in what appears to be a suburban town inhabited by cartoon characters, and regularly interacts with, in addition to Odie and Jon, Nermal, Arlene, and characters from other strips. Garfield, bored with comic life, escapes to the real world with Odie, only to find that the strip will be canceled if he doesn't get back in 24 hours and there is no known way back. To make matters worse, two musclebound dogs, Hale and Hardy are slanted to take his place in papers, and will stop at nothing to stop him.
