Abu Dhabi



Remember those old Garfield cartoons? Nermal, the intolerably cute kitten, would visit the Garfield residence, full of sunshine and adorable good cheer. World-weary Garfield would invariably threaten to mail the little cutie off to the remotest possible destination… the end of the world… the place symbolizing the most isolated, secluded, primitive locale on earth… Abu Dhabi. Oh, it never stopped being funny, did it?!

Imagine my surprise when I actually visited Abu Dhabi a few months ago, and found it to be… a little different than I expected. The truth is: This is a place where a cat could really get down.

Nermal, while in Abu Dhabi, you will…


Stay at the fabulous Royal Meridian hotel!!


Dash along the traffic-choked streets of downtown!


Dine at a dazzling array of American fast food joints!!


Have all your optical needs met, and drive this fabulous Jaguar!!


See a blockbuster Hollywood film!!


Frolic at Snow World!!

Nermal, you look a little tired after your incredible stay in Abu Dhabi. Just don't forget to pray. Don't worry... by law, there's a mosque every 400 feet!

Just a little reminder that use of the Garfield and Nermal trademarks without the express, written consent of United Features Syndicate is a violation of Federal Law.

I think the funniest one was your trip to the bar that turned out to be more than just a bar. Funny for the readers anyway.

Hi, my friend is going to Abu Dhabi soon and I want to get her the comic Grafield strip you're showing.

Have you got the full strip?
Or even best, just give me the date written on the strip so I can find it on www.garfiel.com.

Thanks
Charles.
