How Garfield Got His Groove Back: The ‘Garfield’ Remix Phenomenon

Poor Garfield. In his heyday, he was amongst the most beloved characters on the funny pages, his plush likenesses fastened to car windows and his sarcastic barbs adorning office walls around the globe.

But yet, the orange cat has been saved from cultural oblivion by a peculiar trend: the remixed "Garfield" strip.
