Description
Jim Davis is famous for creating Garfield. He was born and raised in Indiana. As a child he wanted to be a farmer like his father, but found that he was much better suited to indoor life. He found his love of drawing early in life and developed his talents first in school, then working in advertising and assisting in the Tumbleweeds comic. Davis's first comic, Gnorm Gnat, was a bit of a flop. People felt his jokes and illustrations were great, but bugs just made for an offputting subject. Davis took the setback in stride and began developing a new comic about a cartoonist named Jon. The Jon comic was later renamed Garfield, and it went on to be published in hundreds of papers read by hundreds of millions of people.
