Garfield and Friends famously adapted Jim Davis's iconic Garfield comic strip into an animated series. The beloved depiction of Davis's cartoon cat with deadpan delivery ran as a TV series for a whopping seven seasons from September 1988 until December 1994. The characters of the series including of course the eponymous Garfield along with the dog Odie and the owner Jon Arbuckle have stayed in pop culture as instantly recognizable faces which often warm memories and nostalgia. Today, Heritage Auctions features a production cel from the animated series which sees Garfield eating from a bowl of what looks like peas. Let's be real though. We both know this cat. That's not veggies.
