| From what I understand, Jim Davis has staff cartoonists do the
strip for him now that he has hit the big time. Most cartoonists
do the same thing. The only hold out for the old fashioned, draw
it yourself school is Charles Schulz, the creator and artist behind
Peanuts.

I did not get to MEET Jim Davis (Garfield's daddy) but I did get
to SEE him!!!!!
I work in the same bay (of the building) as the Image Technology
Center demo area, which is where Jim Davis and his staff were visiting.
It was great, they stuck a Garfield on the big window and lined
up all the other plush charecters on a shelf in the back of the
center. You know, it sort of looked like my room, with all the
stuffed animals around, but no real cats.
It took me all day to catch a glimpse of Jim Davis, his name was
on the board, so I knew that he was going to be there, the trick
was to find lots of errands that took me by the window of the Demo
center! ;-) I wasn't brave enough to try for an autograph.
