Grumpy Cat - Garfield
It's the inevitable meeting of the sourpusses! Garfield, the reigning cynical cat of newspapers and TV, crosses paths with Grumpy Cat, the internet sensation whose scowl endeared herself to the world. Can these two inhabit the same comic book mini-series, let alone the same planet? You'll find out in Grumpy Cat/Garfield, and issue 1 is now available on Comics Plus through your library! We'd say it's the cat's meow, but neither of these cats meow.
