GRUMPY CAT GARFIELD HC
(W) MARK EVANIER (A) Steve Uy (CA) Steve Uy
It's the inevitable meeting of the sourpusses! Garfield, the reigning cynical cat of newspapers and television crosses paths with Grumpy Cat, the internet sensation whose scowl endeared herself to the world. Who's the most sarcastic? Well, he likes lasagna and not much else... and she doesn't even like lasagna. Can these two inhabit the same comic book mini-series, let alone the same planet? We'd say it's the cat's meow, but neither of these cats meows.
