Garfield creator Jim Davis on his Zelda diet and mobile feast

The fattest cats have to go where the fattest money is.

Garfield, who debuted in newspaper comics back in 1978, is nearly as old as gaming itself. He even starred in software back in the old Atari era of the early 1980s. But these days, the orange Monday-hater has taken his digital game to mobile with titles like the recent Garfield: Survival of the Fattest. This makes sense, since the mobile market’s revenues could exceed the console industry’s this year with $30 billion, according to market researcher Newzoo.
