Both title cats are orange with black stripes, and noted for their bad temper; a "Beware of Cat" sign has been applied to both. However, the major difference between them is in their lifestyle. While Garfield prefers to stay at home, eat and sleep all day, Heathcliff is street-smart and has a more active and mischievous lifestyle. In addition, Heathcliff is a silent character while Garfield expresses his thought with words.source: wikipedia
Asemanarile de design sunt intamplator (?) foarte mari dar personalitatile si povestile sunt diferite iar succesul mai mare il are pe departe Garfield, chiar daca s-a nascut cu 5 ani mai tarziu decat Heathcliff. Garfield a fost si este in continuare foarte bine marketat (de la cani, jucarii si tricouri pana la jocuri si filme) iar acum detine recordul pentru ccomicul cu cea mai mare raspandire in presa internationala.

personal il prefer pe Heathcliff pt ca este mai sweet si mai inocent poate.
ReplyDeleteimi placeau desenele cu Heathcliff dar Garfield e mult mai ironic si amuzant. pe de alta parte, desenele animate cu Garfield mi se par chiar stupide... sau poate m-am obisnuit prea mult sa-l vad pe Garfield doar in comics...
ReplyDeleteDesenele cu heatcliff erau printre favoritele mele cand eram copil si inca sunt :D garfield e overated :P
ReplyDeleteEh, Garfield are in comics (ma rog, avea, dupa anii '90 s-a cam dus) un umor fantastic care-mi place teribil, dar nici Heathcliff nu e de lepadat. Oricum comics-urile bat desenele/filmele.
ReplyDeleteI like both of them personally. But I like Garfield a bit better.
