Happy Odie Day!
by GoComicsTrivia Time!
Did you know Odie made an appearance in Garfield for the very first time 37 years ago today (Aug. 8)?
It didn't take long for Garfield to begin tormenting the new member of the household, but Odie was here to stay.
Unlike Garfield, readers around the world can't imagine the comic strip without Odie! Each year, Odie Day is celebrated on Aug. 8, and we certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to give a shout-out to one of our favorite canines!
It's true that Odie isn't the brightest dog in the world.
But he makes up for it with his loving, caring ways.
While Odie is often getting bullied by Garfield "...
"... He can hold his own!
Ah, revenge is sweet!
