Claim: Andrew Garfield’s grandfather created Garfield comics, and Andrew’s childhood cat "Lasagna" was the inspiration for the cartoon's main character. "I was today years old when I found out Andrew Garfield's grandfather is the man who created the Garfield comic and it was based on Andrew's childhood cat named Lasagna," wrote @MediumSizeMeech. Neither Andrew Garfield nor a so-called cat named "Lasagna" had anything to do with the creation of the Garfield comics. Before creating Garfield, Davis was an assistant cartoonist working on an unsuccessful comic strip about a bug, Gnorm Gnat. Andrew Garfield was born in 1983, according to his IMDb page and a GQ interview, while the comic was introduced five years earlier.
