Oh man, if they don't give Odie at least some gameplay then they REALLY missed a great opportunity here! I love Garfield too. When I was younger, my first digest/collection book was a Garfield compilation that collected a bunch of the comic strips and some comics in one. I had it till a few years ago (kept it over 40 years and read it regularly for a good laugh).
