Jim Davis - Garfield & Pooky strip with prelim

Thanks to Monty B. for this outstanding early Garfield strip. I remember this one fondly from the early days of Garfield when I was a kid. We all have childhood objects (blankets, dolls, toys) that meant a lot to us. I just love the simplicity of this strip and the fact that it's silent intention says it all.
