Garfield 32

Mark Evanier scripts the second, and last, of Garfield’s Christmas stories.

“Elf Esteem” showcases Odie’s good heart as Garfield attempts to help the wayward little person in his quest to right a wrong. Everyone is smiling by the end with Santa rewarding the good deeds.

The second story, “Nermal and the Three Bears,” puts a new spin on an old fairy tale.

Garfield 32 rounds out the holidays with Christmas pin-ups of the Arbuckle household and a couple newspaper strips reprinted for good measure.
