WHO IS GARFIELD
Garfield is a fat, lazy, lasagna-obsessed orange cat created by cartoonist Jim Davis — first appearing in a newspaper comic strip in 1978 and becoming one of the most widely syndicated comics in history. He lives with his owner Jon Arbuckle and a relentlessly cheerful dog named Odie, and spends most of his time sleeping, eating, avoiding Mondays, and making Jon’s life considerably more complicated than it needs to be.
What made Garfield connect with generations of readers isn’t just the humor — it’s the honesty. Garfield doesn’t pretend to be motivated, enthusiastic, or particularly interested in doing anything he doesn’t want to do. He has strong opinions about food, sleep, and the fundamental unfairness of Mondays, and he expresses them with a confidence most people secretly admire. The 2024 Garfield movie brought the character to a new generation of kids, making these coloring pages as relevant now as they were for the parents and grandparents who grew up reading the comics.
How to Color Garfield
Garfield’s palette is simpler than most cartoon characters — and that’s part of what makes his pages so satisfying. The base color is a warm orange, not the bright crayon orange, but a slightly deeper burnt orange that reads as the specific shade Garfield has been illustrated in since 1978. Start with a mid-orange and use a slightly darker rust-orange at the edges and fold lines to give the fur dimension without overcomplicating it.
His stripes are the detail that takes a Garfield page from flat to finished. The forehead stripes are the most visible — three parallel lines running up from his brows — along with markings on his back and tail. These work best in a warm brown rather than black, which keeps them feeling like fur rather than lines drawn over him. Dark brown reads as natural striping; black reads as outlines.
His eyes are one of his most expressive features — half-closed, heavy-lidded, permanently suggesting he has better things to do. The irises are a golden amber-yellow, and leaving a small white highlight dot in each eye brings them to life immediately. His black nose and the characteristic lines around his muzzle are what give him his signature expression.
Odie is yellow-cream with a large pink tongue that appears on nearly every page. His floppy brown ears and short brown patches on his back are the main color accents. He’s deliberately simple to color — Odie is built for kids who want to finish a page quickly and cheerfully.
Jon is the most human-looking element in the set and the most straightforward to color — simple skin tone, dark hair, usually wearing something embarrassing in a modest solid color. His expressions are always worth coloring carefully because they tell half the story on any page he appears on.
The lasagna pages are the most fun in the food section. The pasta itself is a warm cream-yellow in the flat sections with slightly deeper golden tones at the edges of each layer. The sauce between layers can be any warm red-orange. The steam lines above the dish work beautifully left white or colored in very pale grey.
The Christmas page has the most color variety in the seasonal section — Santa hat in bright red with white trim, a Christmas tree in deep green with colored baubles, and Garfield himself in his signature orange creating a genuinely festive palette without needing anything more complicated.
For the baby Garfield page, the large open areas work perfectly with chunky crayons — this is one of the most forgiving pages in the set for little hands just getting started.
What to Do with Finished Garfield Coloring Pages
Make a Monday Mood Board
Print the lazy pose page, the arms-crossed page, and the sleeping on the couch page. Color all three, write “Monday” in large letters above them, and hang them together. It’s a ten-minute project that produces something genuinely funny for a bedroom wall, a classroom bulletin board, or a desk corner that needs the right energy.
Turn the Lasagna Pages into a Food Feelings Activity
Print the eating lasagna page and the hugging the lasagna page side by side. Ask kids to name their own version of Garfield’s lasagna — the one food they feel that strongly about — and write it on the page. It’s a simple conversation starter that kids actually engage with, and the finished pages make a surprisingly personal keepsake.
Use the Jon, Garfield and Odie Page as a Character Study
The trio page — all three characters together — works well as a creative writing or drama activity. Color the page, then have kids write one line of dialogue for each character based purely on their expression. Jon says something reasonable. Garfield says something dismissive. Odie says something cheerful that misses the point entirely. This produces three minutes of genuine comedy every time.
Make a Garfield Birthday Party Set
Print the birthday cake page, the balloon page, and the baby Garfield page. Color them with bright party colors, cut them out, and use them as table decorations or place cards at a Garfield-themed birthday. The birthday cake page in particular is exactly the right energy for a kids’ party — Garfield’s relationship with cake is something every child understands immediately.
Frame the Funny Grin Page for a Kid’s Bedroom
Print the funny grin portrait page on cardstock, color it with the full orange and amber palette, and frame it simply. It’s the kind of piece that makes a kid’s bedroom wall look intentional rather than random, and Garfield’s expression is entertaining enough that it rewards being looked at regularly.
