Answer: The Caped Avenger
Whenever Garfield dons his cape, he becomes the Caped Avenger and sets out to fight evils, though his attempts to help others are often foiled by his own cape. Garfield often has multiple aliases including Count Cat and the short-lived Banana Man. Although Garfield has his recurring role as the Caped Avenger, the role only appeared once on the TV show "Garfield and Friends" in an episode entitled "Caped Avenger". Garfield has also given Pooky his trusty cape on some occasions.

Answer: 1978
Garfield's birthday, June 19th, 1978, is also the date of the tubby tabby's debut in newspapers. Although the popular cat debuted in only a few newspapers, this grew to more than 2,500 newspapers in twenty-five years, and it won a Guinness World Record for being the most widely syndicated comic strip in history. In the first strip, Jon explained that he was a cartoonist, and he introduced Garfield (who simply said 'Feed Me.'). In the beginning, Odie wasn't yet a character. He wasn't introduced until nearly two months later.
