When people think of Garfield's diet, they typically associate it with rich, calorie-dense comfort foods like lasagna. When searching for red and delicious comics for an Apple Day collection, however, we discovered the Jim Davis-created kitty has a surprising amount of interaction with apples!

Sure, Garfield tends to prefer his apples as a weaponized projectile, or baked into a pie, but we suspect there's something to his occasionally healthy chow. An apple a day is meant to keep the doctor away, and while Garf is no stranger to vet checkups, at nearly 40-years-old he's surely benefitted from nature's candy.

Sink your teeth into Apple Day with our collection of a dozen Garfield comics featuring fall's foremost fruit!
