30-Plus Years Of ‘Garfield’ Comic Strips To Sell At Auction

DALLAS (AP) — Cartoonist Jim Davis is offering up more than 11,000 “Garfield” comic strips hand-drawn on paper in an auction that will stretch into the coming years.

Dallas-based Heritage Auctions began offering up the comic strips in August.

The auction house says at least a couple of strips featuring the cat with a sardonic sense of humor are expected to become available weekly.

Davis says it's a way to get the strips out where people can enjoy them. The comic strips are from when “Garfield” started in 1978 to 2011, when Davis began drawing them on a tablet instead of paper. 

Davis is from Indiana.
