Garfield is a tribute to the lazy person in all of us. His idea of a daily routine is sleeping, eating and occasionally biting a mail man or two just for the fun of it.
加菲貓對所有懶惰的人來說是一份禮物。它每天的例行公事就是睡覺、吃飯和偶爾為了好玩，咬一下郵遞員。
Everyone can relate to Garfield in some way because most of the humor is about eating or sleeping, something we all do.
在某種程度上，每個人都可以與加菲貓聯系起來，因為它大多數的幽默是和飲食、睡覺這些我們都會做的事情相關。
