Garfield #12
SCORE: 75
Garfield #12 is another Kaboom Kids comic book from 2013. Garfield
#12 cost $3.99 back in the day so it was a bit on the pricey side
compared to comics being released over a decade later. There are only
twenty-two pages of comic book content within Garfield #12. There are
two stories in Garfield #12. The two stories are The Cat Bird Seat, and
Return of the Lasagna Monster. The first is twelve pages and the second
one is ten pages.
There will be spoilers in my review of the Garfield #12 comic book. The
first story has a witch user her magic to turn Garfield into a bird.
That way Garfield can see what it is like to be a bird. Garfield chased
a bird and this witch decided he need to learn a lesson. Of course cats
chase Garfield in Garfield #12. The force someone into the shoes of
another lessons is well used in entertainment.
The second story within Garfield #12 is about how the Lasagna Monster
got away and captured by some mad scientist. The mad scientist cloned
the Lasagna and made it much larger. Three of them that happened to be
different flavors go after Garfield. How exactly did cloning produce
different flavors? That would add a layer of complexity that makes
little to no sense to me. Garfield gets into trouble after the Lasagna
Monsters blow up thanks to the vacuum cleaner.
At the end of Garfield #12 is a four page preview of Ice Age The Hidden
Treasure. We also get a few additional advertisements after that
preview. The credits in Garfield #12 can be found on the back of the
front cover. The second story references it was from issue #10 of this
comic book. Unfortunately we did not buy that issue over a decade ago so
I missed it. Which is honestly no big deal to me.
The artwork in the second story is not as good as the artwork in the
first story in Garfield #12. In fact the artwork in the second story
looks like something from a really old Garfield comic strip. Meaning
Garfield looks vastly different in that second story. I am not a fan of
that old art style personally. It still astound me to this day how much
food Garfield can consume in these comic books.
