An Important Day in Animation History

Today marks the introduction of two beloved animated characters. The Tasmanian Devil made his first appearance in the cartoon "The Devil May Hare" in 1954. Garfield made its debut as a comic strip in 1978. So, technically, I guess more than two beloved characters were introduced, since Odie and Jon also came along with Garfield. That raises the question, though. Is Jon beloved? He's kind of neurotic. Check out Garfield minus Garfield, which examines Jon's craziness: http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ (the site is currently under maintenance but should be back up soon). Anyways, enjoy the very first Garfield comic:
