Garfield is a popular comic strip created by Jim Davis featuring the cat Garfield, the less-than-brilliant pet dog Odie, and their socially inept owner Jon Arbuckle.
Odie:
loveable but dopey yellow-furred, brown-eared dog constantly
panting with his very large tongue, and the only character without
a "voice" (though he was once shown to be thinking "I'm
hungry". More recently, he was seen actually speaking in one
of Garfield's dream sequences). Often kicked off the table by
Garfield or the victim of some practical joke. Odie's original
owner was Lyman, a friend and roommate to Jon Arbuckle. However,
Lyman disappeared in 1983 and Odie became a pet to Jon. Odie is,
to Garfield, a complete slobbering idiot (though it's not
the actual case
since Odie did manage to take revenge on Garfield occasionally,
and Garfield usually cannot
notice it). He is
rarely seen without his giant tongue and drooling. Recently, Odie
seems to be walking on two feet more often. He first appeared on
August 8, 1978.
