Johnny Hart still claims (as debunked in this column) that he is the most widely-syndicated cartoonist in the world. And Jim Davis's one strip is still in more newspapers than Hart's two put together. Jim's strip — the one about the lazy and gluttonous cat — is also the subject of a fancy new hardcover book celebrating its 25th year of life. In Dog Years I'd Be Dead will tell you loads of things about Garfield — how it's done, the impact it has had, how it's evolved, etc., all nicely illustrated with rare art and pictures.
