Garfield, one of the most widely syndicated comic strips in the world, has become a ubiquitous pop culture presence.(CNN) -- Jim Davis, the creator of the widely-syndicated "Garfield" comic has issued an apology for an ill-timed strip that ran on Veterans Day.
The strip, which appeared in newspapers nationwide Thursday, shows a spider's thoughts as Garfield the cat is about to crush it with a rolled-up newspaper.
"If you squish me, I shall become famous!" reads the thought bubble in the strip's first panel.
