Garfield turns 33!

Jun 19 • Dogos • 225 Views • No Comments


On June 19, 1978, Garfield made its debut on print. The mastermind behind this cartoon, Jim Davis wanted his series to be focused on a fat and lazy orange cat that would represent the typical ‘couch potato’ phrase that we commonly use. It was introduced all around the world in just 41 newspapers initially but it is so popular now that it is read daily by 265,000,000 people around the globe!

Apart from the regular cartoon strips that appear on print, Garfield has four movies to its credit and with a successful TV show too (1988 – 1995), everybody loves it!

The Garfield DOGO was conceptualized because we love the concept behind the cartoon and after all, the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip needs to be recognized, right?

A self depreciating film dogmatist, Aniket has the most delusional form of existence ever possible. Being a 90s kid he cribs every-time he sees a 5 year old with an iPhone and then blogs about it after which he makes a film based on that blog. And then spams everyone on facebook about it. He is just glad that he isn't related to Chunky Pandey but we are pretty sure he is. Aniket is non religious but believes that all we need is bacon.
