American Profiles features a look at cartoonist Jim Davis, creator of the long-running tales of the lasagne-devouring cat Garfield, where he explains his first break was getting to work as an assistant to Tom Ryan on his Tumbelweeds strip: “I saw the discipline and long hours it took to be a success. I started trying to get my own strip syndicated. It took years of trying, but finally I found a comics editor who saw something in my work.”
