Garfield became the world\u2019s most syndicated cartoon, loved by millions for his lazy outlook on life with laid-back observations including \u201cOh no! I overslept! I&#8217;m late! For my nap.\u201d, \u201cYou know it&#8217;s Monday when you wake up, and it&#8217;s Tuesday.\u201d and \u201cAll I do is eat and sleep. Eat and sleep. Eat and sleep. There must be more to a cat&#8217;s life than that. But I hope not.\u201d And now, as the world awaits the May 24th release of The Garfield Movie, Frankie &amp; Benny\u2019s is set to entertain families as well as all lovers of all the Garfield characters including Odie (Garfield\u2019s dog!), Jon (Garfield\u2019s \u2018owner\u2019), and new faces like Vic (Garfield\u2019s long-lost father).<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate, Frankie &amp; Benny\u2019s has a three-month collaboration introducing a limited time special kids lasagne menu, Garfield-inspired activity sheets, Garfield-themed decorations, goodie bags, posters, limited-edition T-shirts and a chance to win a once in a lifetime trip to New York City!
