Jim Davis--Garfield creator
Don't you just love Garfield? It is one of my favorite comic strips.
I was fortunate enough to meet Jim Davis, Garfield's creator, many years ago at a writing seminar at Ball State University.
He was one of the featured speakers at the seminar. He was a very down to earth guy. I can't remember if I got his autograph or not. He was somewhat famous then but not as much as now.
That was about 1976 or 1977. Had I known how famous he would become I certainly would have pursued an autograph!
Jim Davis was born in Marion, Indiana on July 28th, 1945. His first Garfield comic strip was published in 1978. It was an immediate hit.
Oh, that reminds me, I have an urge for some Lasagna!
