LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Garfield is a bad influence

Sat, May 6, 2023 (2 a.m.)

It’s interesting that the “Garfield” comic strip gets top billing in some newspapers, or any billing at all.

This is the ongoing life story about a cat — and I like cats — who has taken on human traits, both physically and mentally. But is Garfield setting a good example for the large audience of all ages who read this comic strip?

This cat is lazy, gets no exercise and eats junk food. He also displays a bad attitude and even kicks around poor Odie (the dog).

If you follow Garfield’s lifestyle, you will be looking at numerous and serious health problems.

Maybe a story about a cat who isn’t lazy, exercises and eats healthy would make for good reading. And a good attitude would be warmly welcomed as well.
