## Content

The game allows players to make Garfield cartoons with pieces of artwork featuring characters, props, backgrounds, and text. The game functions with a drag-and-drop system used by a keyboard, mouse or joystick. Cartoons can be printed and/or saved to disk.[3]

## Reception

Eric Holroyd, in a review for the Australian Apple Review, recommended the game for Garfield fans, especially if mixed with the similar game Teddy Bear-rels of Fun, claiming that "The added bonus of mixing and matching the two will give endless hours of fun for you, your family and your friends".[1] Neil Randall, writing in Compute!'s Gazette, highly recommended the software for those who enjoyed "creativity programs". He complemented the program as "useful and fun" and thought it "impressive for its ability to get the user creating shortly after boot-up".[4]
