Garfield Creator Apologizes For Veteran's Day "Faux Paw"
Apparently there is no humorous link between overweight, lasagna-loving felines and the men and women who gave their lives for our country. Cartoonist Jim Davis had to learn this lesson the hard way after national papers ran a Garfield strip comparing the death of a spider to a U.S. war casualty. The AP reported that Davis avoided a potential cat-astrophe by issuing a mea culpa to all offended veterans.
Davis released a statement on his website stating that he completed the strip nearly a year ago and had no idea that it would print on Veteran’s Day.
