About this title

Synopsis

The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth
 
Accordions rule, and so—finally—does Jon Arbuckle!
 
It’s revenge of the nerds when Jon grabs Garfield’s traditional lead role and takes center stage with a delightfully dorky new book of his own.
 
Through classic comics, blog entries, and a wealth of other wacky new material, experience Jon’s dating disasters, phone call faux pas, wardrobe malfunctions, and mirthful mishaps—and cheer the geek with a heart of gold as he finally finds true love with Liz, the veterinarian. (Who’d have thunk it?)
 
So, rejoice, Jon fans, and enjoy the fun. The moment of goof has arrived!
