I’ve been scouting around for this one a way long time. First airing in November of 1991 on Garfield and Friends, here is one of the greatest Garfield cartoons ever (and a real highlight of Lorenzo Music’s vocal abilities): “Truckin’ Odie”…
If I were a character on THE SIMPSONS …
A few months ago it was “Chris as a South Park character”. Now today, after all of these years of dreaming and courtesy of The Simpsons Movie website, I am finally a character from The Simpsons! Looks pretty much like me, right down to that weird bit of hair on the right-hand side of my forehead that does its own thing without going one way or the other on the part (it’s not so pronounced just after a haircut but after a few weeks you really see it).

Anyhoo, judging by this and the other pics on that site, me like!...
