[edit] where should this content go?
Sometimes Odie catches on to Garfield’s tricks; one time Odie was sleeping on a rug, and Garfield crept up and pulled the rug out from under him, spinning him into the air. As Garfield settled in, Odie got back at him by stamping his foot into the floorboard, shooting Garfield into the ceiling.[1] Another favorite trick of Odie’s is sneaking up behind Garfield while Garfield is eating, and barking loudly, which results in Garfield being startled and pitching forward face-first into his food bowl. However, Garfield got back at Odie a few times. In one comic, Odie does it to Garfield, who then does it to Odie. Jon then yells at them and they do it together to him. In one comic series, Garfield taunted a dog that then beat him up so severely that his cast covers all of his body but part of his face. Odie torments Garfield twice in the comic series, but Garfield gets his revenge in the final strip, where he is now out of his cast, and he uses it as a weapon to strike Odie really hard with.
[edit] Odie, the name, history

 Odie |
My name is Odie, my father was Odie, one of my sons is Odie. I had a great uncle named Odie. He has been dead longer than I have been alive and I have no idea what name he uses now.
I/we are from Arkansas, USA. After your explanation that Jim Davis's dog was named after another character. The village idiot,"Odie". There is much opportunity for humor in Odie(s) from Arkansas.
We are mostly caucasion, white. Some times people who know my name but have not met me think I am black? I have often wondered why. I met one other Odie, a nice lady in California. She happened to be black, she assumed that Odie was a female name. After many questions exchanged, I assured her that neither of us know what kind of name it is.
Obviously I came here in search of history on the name,"Odie". All I have found is a very nice history of Jim Davis work. I do find it interesting that Jim Davis is the creator of Odie the character and our names are Odie DavesItalic text. Daves, Davis, Davies are all English names for the family of Dave. Or simply Dave's family.Oden2u (talk) 19:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)````
