Garfield #4
SCORE: 80
I love it when a month works out just so that I can dig into my pile
of comic books awaiting my attention. That is what happened this month.
I am rotating around the comics I got from Noah, Peter, and from
McKay's. Garfield #4 is one of the comic books from Noah. It looks like
we missed the third issue of this comic book series. Oh well. All of the
Garfield comic books thus far have been one shots with two stories in
them. Garfield #4 is the same way. Garfield #4 cost us $3.99 when it was
released. I doubt it is worth that now though.
There will be spoilers in my review of the Garfield #4 comic book. There
are two stories within Garfield #4. The first story within Garfield #4
is Jon of the Jungle, and that story is twelve pages long. The second
story found in Garfield #4 is The Very Smart Little Girl. The second
story is ten pages long. That brings the grand total of comic book
content within Garfield #4 to twenty-two pages.
There is some comic mischief and cartoon violence within Garfield #4. In
the first story Jon must come up with a new comic idea for his boss.
Garfield comes demanding food. Jon acts like a slave and makes all of
this food for Garfield. While Jon is working on making all this food for
Garfield, Garfield is changing the comic book. Can you guess what
happens next? The boss stops by to see the comic book.
Jon's idea was the same one that everyone else was coming up with.
Garfield's idea is to have Jon as a Tarzan type. The boss loves the idea
and Jon gets to promote it in costume in front of the business. Jon is
not exactly very pleased with this reward. At least he is still working
for that organization and bringing in money to pay the bills. Garfield
wants Jon to be employed so he can keep getting food.
The second story is about this little girl that is really smart. There
is a bit of humor within Garfield #4. This little girl could make
friends with a local boy but instead blows him off because she is too
smart. She even sends Garfield up into space. Garfield convinces her to
go and play softball with the local neighborhood kids. Having friends is
more important than being smart. I can relate to the having a high IQ. I
learned early on that other humans are needed for a plethora of
different things.
