  In my last few reviews of these books, I've been saying that the comics weren't up to the standard set by previous volumes.
  
  Well, I'm happy to say that the Tubby Tabby is back on track. There's multiple series here, and most of the strips are quite funny.
  
  Also of note in this compilation is a sequence that is rather dramatic and not humorous; it almost feels like Garfield fan fiction rather than an official strip. It's one you have to see to believe.

  Bueno, qué decir de los Garfields, uno de los compañeros de nuestra infancia (y adolescencia y parte de la vida adulta). Recuerdo haberme encontrado el primero en casa de un amigo y habérmelo devorado de una sentada, con 5-6 años, sin entender varios de los chistes pero disfrutando mucho de los más obvios. Hoy en día, en casa, a los ojos entrecerrados con mezcla de desprecio y aburrimiento los seguimos llamando ojos de Garfield:
  
  Esta sensación de saber que siempre iba a encontrar unos cuantos graciosos la tuve durante las dos décadas posteriores en las que Garfield iba apareciendo periódicamente en mi vida. No es una obra culmen de la literatura, pero nos ha alegrado muchos momentos.

  Reading through the Garfield books with my nearly nine year old son. He's a new fan and I'm an old fan. Makes reading before bed at night super fun! We laugh a lot.

  Oh my goodness this book was funny, among the best in the series so far! That's really saying something too!

  Garfield Takes Up Space is 20th collection of Garfield comic strips. Can you believe that? After twenty books, I am still waiting for Odie to talk . . . and he hasn't uttered a peep. I really like Odie and wish that he was featured more in this daily comic strip. He is Garfield opposite. He is always nice, but stupid whiule Garfield is kinda mean and smart. Then Odie shows moments of brilliance. Then not. After all, Odie is just a dog, right? And Garfield is just a cat, right? Wrong! They are so much more.
  
  Jim Davis has now been creating funny stories about Jon, Garfield and Odie for twelve years. I find that quite amazing. I really like the introduction of new characters, even if it is only for a week or two. I always enjoy it when Jon and Garfield visit the farm, or go to the Vet, when Nermal visits, or Garfield hangs out with Arlene. So, when Jon's old school chum pays a visit and calls him Carp Face, I loved it. Wheezer, Jon's friend, brings out the kid in Jon, which is easy to do. I enjoyed this change of pace. I have always felt that only having three main characters is not enough, especially when only two of them can talk. I will continue to hope that more main characters may someday be added.
  
  Overall, Garfield Takes Up Space is another fun-filled book of daily Garfield comic strips I found myself chuckling at a few times, but never laughing out loud. I really enjoy the long storylines and wish that there were more of them. The one shots are okay, but the storylines are what makes me want to read these books again and again.

  Garfield is my favorite fat cat -- We even share lasagna as a favorite food, think diets are Die with a t at the end, hate Mondays and Mornings - Garfield got me through my struggles with learning to read as a kid and I still read him everyday. For a time I even had a female Garfield share my life.

  Many of these comics were familiar, so they must have been from the time I was reading Garfield in the paper daily. A rather uneven collection, but the ones that were funny were the ones that made me snort/guffaw quite inelegantly.
