Spoilers ahead

Garfield [Frank Welker] lives with dog Odie [Gregg Berger] and owner Jon Arbuckle [Wally Wingert] in a world where comic and cartoon characters breathe, work at Comic Studios, and create the strips that appear in books and newspapers. The group includes his girlfriend Arlene [Audrey Wasilewski], frenemy Nermal [Jason Marsden], Billy Bear [Fred Tatasciore], Randy Rabbit [Stephen Stanton], and inventor Wally Stegman with his wife Bonita [Jennifer Darling], all part of a bustling, self-contained universe that feeds into the real world when the comics are published. Garfield is tired of the old jokes his friends crack and longs for something beyond the familiar punchlines of Toon World.
