Garfield (of all the damned things)
Archive: Used Bookdealer
Jim Davis’ products leave me cold. I’ve never made an effort to keep Garfield books in stock; they are cheap and common.
Too often I find a customer asking for a book that I’ve stopped buying because I assume we already have enough if not too many copies. A kid was looking for Garfield books a few weeks ago. We were out. Two days later a young girl came in with a stack. Although I never expected the boy who’d wanted them to ever return I bought them.
Today the boy was back today and bought one. He seemed really happy to find it. As little as I care for Garfield it did remind me of how kind the man behind the counter at Lamas Brothers Newsstand in Savannah was when I came into buy my comics every week.

Comments:
Feel free to share your feelings about Garfield (of all the damned things). Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.
This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
