By this time, Garfield had begun walking on two feet,
and the strip changed to more of an emphasis on sitcom
situations (Garfield making fun of his owner's stupidity,
Jon's inability to pick up girls) and less on the foibles
of cats. A number of the strip's readers feel that the
quality of the writing has lessened, even as the artwork
has retained a consistent level of quality (although Davis
is no longer the sole, or even principal, artist). The
character design sketch of Garfield.The comic strip was
turned into a cartoon special for television in 1982 called
Here Comes Garfield. Actor Lorenzo Music, previously known
as the voice of Carlton the doorman on the show Rhoda,
was hired to portray the voice of Garfield.
