Overview
About the event
Odie Day is here to pay honor and respect to the fictional character from the famous Garfield comic strip created by the iconic cartoonist Jim Davis. Odie has also appeared in Garfield and friends, two live-action feature films and three amazing CGI feature length films. Odie is the only character in the Garfield cartoon universe to have shown the ability to mature.
In fact, although Odie is typically characterized as a tremendously credulous and brainless dog, he is also shown as extremely caring and loving. Garfield is seen to play on Odie�??s gullibility by pushing him off objects or by simply making fun of him. Nevertheless, their relationship is distinguished by their playfulness and love for one another. And Odie is just a great little friend.
Odie Day is celebrated on August 8 because that is the anniversary of the pup�??s first appearance in a Garfield comic strip in 1978. This was less than two months after Davis�??s comic strip made its debut in nationwide syndication.
