While not quite as poignant and memorable as Christmas, Garfield's Thanksgiving nonetheless charms with its food-loving feline forced into an unfavorable diet he wants no part of. Jon crushes hard on Garfield's vet, Doc Liz, but she's quite cold fish and less than lukewarm in agreeing to a Thanksgiving date at his place. She does though, but not before Jon nearly suffocates himself beet red by holding his breath. Garfield's at first jazzed because it's Thanksgiving time, but the diet bums him considerably. When he steps on the scale it tells him he's at the weight of Orson Welles! When Jon attempts to cook the feast, it turns out less than successful so grandma must come to the rescue while he bores poor Liz to nap with the Thanksgiving history lesson. Of course eventually Garfield gets to fill his belly even as Odie used his whistle during the diet prior to the big feast to keep our beloved cat in line... This is certain to be a treat for fans of the character and cartoon strip. Garfield's inner thoughts are often quite witty and amusing, particularly when Jon annoys him. Jon's persistent pursuit of seemingly uninterested Liz turns out to be a fun addition to the festivities involving Garfield and his dietary dilemma. Garfield's sarcasm is on full display and I personally, as a fan, wouldn't want it any other way. You know this just flies by and could have been even longer.
