It was a bad day for Jim Power. Bending to the frustration of not having his work respected by the city in any way that might pay the bills and make it possible to continue to work, Jim attacked one of his lampposts with a chisel. This was the second, and better idea of the day ... his first response to his anger at the cities neglect, was to put a "for sale" sign on Jessie Jane. Jessie, as much a neighborhood icon as Jim, barked nervously at Jim as he hammered on a lamppost with his cane and screamed at the crowds.
Some looked on in curiosity or confusion as Jim railed at the lack of appreciation shown to him by the city, and threatened to run for Mayor in the next election. A passerby, Sweet Lew, a saxophone player, begged Jim to leave his work in place as chips of mosaic flew from the lamppost under his attack. Jim screamed that he was going to Philadelphia where "artists are respected."
Two fire department ambulances and two police cars arrived. Many in the crowd were worried that he might be taken into custody. However, the police and fire department EMTs calmed him down.
Jim explained that for years his work has been included in tourist guides to New York, helping bring people to New York and to the East Village. He says that he does not expect charity, but rather the city owes him a roof over his head, without having to give up his dog -- a condition of most shelters. "I should get paid for two years of work repairing my 80 lampposts."

JIM DAVIS
James Robert "Jim "Davis (born July 28 ,1945 ), is an American cartoonist who created the popular comic strip Garfield . Other comics that he has worked on include Tumbleweeds ,Gnorm Gnat , and a strip about Mr. Potato Head . He has written Emmy-award winning TV specials and two major films featuring Garfield have been released by Twentieth Century Fox: Garfield: The Movie (2004) and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006). Davis was also behind the "Garfield & Friends" TV show which aired on CBS from 1988-1995.
Jim Davis was born in Fairmount, Indiana , near Marion , where he grew up on a small farm with his father James William Davis, mother Anna Catherine (Carter) Davis, brother Dave, and 25 cats . Davis' childhood on a farm parallels the life of his cartoon character Garfield's owner, Jon Arbuckle , who was also raised on a farm with his parents and a brother, Doc Boy. Jon, too, is a cartoonist, and also celebrates his birthday on July 28 . Davis attended Ball State University . While attending Ball State, he became a member of the Theta Xi fraternity . He earned the dubious honor of earning one of the lowest cumulative grade point averages in the history of the university, an honor incidentally shared with Late Show host David Letterman.
Ironically, considering his fame as a cartoonist who draws a cat, his first wife Carolyn (Altekruse) was allergic to cats [1] although they owned a dog named Molly . They have a son, James Alexander Davis On July 16, 2000, Davis married his current wife Jill. They have three children: James, Ashley, and Christopher.
Davis as of 2007 resides in Albany, Indiana , where he and his staff produce Garfield under his company, Paws, Inc. , begun in 1981. Paws, Inc. employs nearly 50 artists and licensing administrators, who work with agents around the world managing Garfield's vast licensing, syndication, and entertainment empire.
Davis and his wife Jill, Sr. VP of Licensing at Paws, have three children and three grandchildren.
Prior to creating Garfield, Davis worked for a local advertising agency and in 1969 began assisting Tom Ryan 's comic strip, Tumbleweeds . He then created a comic strip, Gnorm Gnat , that ran for five years in The Pendleton Times , an Indiana newspaper. Davis tried to sell it to a national comic strip syndicate , but an editor told him, "Your art is good, your gags are great, but bugs — nobody can relate with bugs!"
On June 19 ,1978 ,Garfield started syndication in 41 newspapers. Things were going well until the Chicago Sun-Times cancelled the strip, prompting an outcry from 1300 readers. Garfield was reinstated and the strip quickly became the fastest selling comic strip in the world. Today it is syndicated in 2400 newspapers and is read by approximately 200 million readers each day. Guinness World Records recently proclaimed "Garfield" the most widely syndicated comic strip in the world. [citation needed ]
In the 1988-1994 cartoon series Garfield and Friends , one episode has a scene where Garfield cat sliding down a fireman's pole in a haunted house, and Davis has a brief cameo of himself drawing a cartoon.
In the 1980s, Davis also created the barnyard- slapstick comic strip U.S. Acres , featuring Orson the Pig. Outside the U.S., the strip was known as Orson's Farm . Davis also created a 2000-2003 strip based on the toy Mr. Potato Head with Brett Koth.
In 2005, Davis appeared in the music video "Lazy Muncie ", a parody of the Saturday Night Live video " Lazy Sunday ".
Most recently, Jim Davis founded The Professor Garfield Foundation, to support children’s literacy. A free educational web site www.professorgarfield.org offers content that is engaging and pedagogically sound, and is the cornerstone of the Foundation’s work.
