I had great fun writing the Garfield TV cartoons for many years. Here's your chance to write the Garfield comic strip. Over at the cat's website, they've installed Garfield's Comic Creator, an online tool that allows you to put together your own Garfield strip. Mix and match characters and backgrounds and props, and type in your own dialogue. (And to answer an oft-asked question: No, I don't know when any of the Garfield cartoons will be issued on DVD in this country. The producer seems to be in a state of perpetual negotiation for this to happen.)
I agree completely with this article by Roger Ebert on the Pledge of Allegiance.
