I Can Has Cheezburger & Garfield 2014 Cat Calendar Giveaway!

When it comes to calendars, you know I'm always picking a kitty one. The folks at Andrews McMeel Publishing know this too, so they sent me a I Can Has Cheezburger 2014 calendar and Garfield 2014 calendar to review!


Charlie can has cheezburger?

Before I got my paws on them though, Charlie decided to adopt them as his own. I'm not sure why a cat needs a calendar (as far as he's concerned, every day is Caturday), but I just didn't have the heart to tell him that.


Aww, they're not so bad!

Seriously though, the wall calendars are super cool and cute. The ICHC calendar is colorful and features collages of clever kitty captions, while the Garfield "I Hate Mondays" calendar is purrfect for the real life grumpy cat in your life!

Happy Birthday, Garfield!

Happy Birthday, Garfield! The first Garfield comic strip was published on June 19, 1978, making him 33 years old today! (Yes, he's still older than I am). Along with Hello Kitty and Henrietta Pussycat, Garfield was one of my favorite fictional felines growing up.

There's a party going on right now on the official Garfield Facebook page, and the PAWS team has also created a new retro design (above), covering everything from tees and tote bags, to onesies and water bottles, to help mark the special occasion.

Better yet, everything in the Garfield Stuff shop, including this awesome 1980's line, is 20% off until June 24th, as a special thank you to all the fans.

I think I'm going to eat some lasagna and take a nap to celebrate!

Happy Birthday, Garfield!

Garfield For Forever 21

Hot on the heels of his hip art show last month in San Francisco, Garfield is now taking on the fashion world with a new line of tops for mega-clothing retailer Forever 21.

The up-to-the-minute fashion chain is selling three Garfield shirts in super cute styles, which you can purchase in stores and online.

Garfield & Odie A Good BFF Is Hard To Find Tee - $13.80

Garfield Striped Tank - $14.80

Garfield Long Sleeve Top - $19.80

I recently bought the last shirt, and it's super cozy! I was able to get it in the store, but if you order online, just know that it runs big! You can probably get a size down from what you'd normally wear.

Garfield Gets Hip

While I spend a lot of time devoted to Hello Kitty over in these parts, one of my all time favorite animated cats is none other than lasagna-eating, nap-attacking, Monday-hating, Garfield!

Our friends over at Pawesome discovered a unique Garfield art show taking place in Santa Monica, CA tomorrow night, sponsored by clothing line/online magazine The Hundreds. The opening will feature original art work by over twenty artists giving their best representations of America's favorite fat cat, and Garfield creator Jim Davis will also be in attendance to do a signing. (Sonia pointed out an excellent interview with Davis, which you can read here.)

Garfield himself visited The Hundreds office to prepare for the big event, but before he got down to work, the first order of business was heading out to the store to buy some kitty litter. [Full photoset here]

For those unfortunate souls like myself who won't be able to make it to the art show, The Hundreds have stocked their online shop with a fine selection of goods to meet all of your Garfield needs.

Shirt 1, Shirt 2, Shirt 3, Sticker, Keychain, Mug, Sneakers (with a comic printed on the in-sole!)
