Garfield Variations
 Garfield may be chubby, cranky, and quick with a jibe, but that hasn't stopped him from starring in the world's most syndicated comic strip or, now, posing for a gallery's worth of variations on his image. We know almost nothing about the artists behind these portraits. But in sketches and drawings that are sometimes just scribbled on a napkin, they've capture the obese tabby's character in such amusing and witty poses as a hamburger, a fly, a Cyclops, a digestive tract, and a "rastafield." Cool, dude. In keeping with Garfield's not-so-nice nature, many of these drawings are at least a little lewd. Think "South Park" meets a disgruntled kitty on a diet. On the other hand, some of these illustrations veer toward the surreally sweet (and very funny): Wide-eyed Precious Moments, meet wider-eyed Gentleman Caller. Now, where's Odie?
