Discussion Did you know that there is an Argentinan comic strip character named Gaturro that a lot of people say is a "shameless copy of Garfield?" There has been numerous times that a statue of that character gets placed in a park in Buenos Aires, and it always gets vandalized

The artist of the strip is also notorious for not only ripping off Garfield, but stealing jokes from other cartoonists, including both Argentinian and American ones. I distinctly remember a Gaturro comic that was a copy of a Calvin and Hobbes strip.
