With days at the office now potentially numbered, I'll miss the little gems of knowledge teased out during the working day.
We play the birthday quiz from time to time, and Judge Reinhold (Beverly Hills Cop IV etc) was on the list today.
"Isn't he the voice of Garfield?" says one.
"No that was Bill Murray."
Well I wouldn't know either way, as I never liked Garfield on television. But I did like the newspaper strip.
Of course, this kind of preference is in the eye of the beholder, and bringing a cartoon strip to life can kill off your own personal impression of how the characters interact with each other.
Fred Basset seemed to work for me. Not so much The Perishers. And Peanuts was always a joy.
For the record, it's Bill Murray in the Garfield film, while the TV series was voiced by Lorenzo Music.
"Mmmm... Lasagna."
