I bought a couple early Sundays.   Not yet in hand but I might as well share them.

 

 

 

 

I like these early Odies when he had the black ears. They were changed because having black ears made him look a little bit too similar to Snoopy.

The first 5 strips (1 daily, 4 Sundays) I got were all from 1979-1981.

What I lacked was an example that had Garfield, Odie and Jon all in the same piece. Actually - I'm wrong!  Turns out I already had a Sunday that had all three. But it only has one panel of Odie and one panel of Jon with the rest Garfield. 

Anyway, I didn't think I'd ever want to go out as far as 1985, but, this example had lots of Jon/Odie/Garfield in different poses/looks, a great gag, and drawn in a very pleasing style (can't say that about all of the strips from this era):

I'm up to 9....crazy I know, but with how had prices have dipped it's hard to resist.  Didn't pick anything up this last round, but liked this one from a few months ago.

I got my one off example, with a coffee joke. But, I have to admit, getting a Sunday with the Garfield Title is intriguing. Given how prices are, I might pull the trigger.
