Garfield is easily one of the most recognizable pop-culture icons in history, and the reason why is abundantly clear: hes absolutely hilarious. While there is no shortage of Garfield media in the form of live-action films, animated features, and television series, the iconic orange cat got his start in the Garfield comic strip series created by Jim Davis in 1978 - and that strip is still going strong today.

Davis has been making people laugh with his Garfield strips for nearly half a century, which is a mountain of comics to read through. How can one truly appreciate Garfield when there are so many strips theyll likely never read? Well, the best way is to take it one month at a time, and right now is the perfect time to take a look back at an entire months worth of Garfield strips that just turned 30 - including Davis best no-dialogue comic.
