Gnorm Gnat

Gnorm Gnat was a comic strip created by Jim Davis in the 1970s for the Pendelton Times newspaper. Davis learned the skills and discipline necessary to become a syndicated cartoonist and began his own strip, "Gnorm Gnat." When he tried to sell the strip to a newspaper syndicate he was told, "It's funny, but bugs? Who can relate to a bug?" After five years of drawing Gnorm, Davis drew a giant foot that fell out of the sky, crushing Gnorm in his last comic appearance in 1977 and started Garfield which he still does, today.
