Collector's Call
Cathy and Robert Kothe: Garfield
S4 • E12 Jun 18, 2023 30m
With over 6000 unique pieces of Garfield memorabilia, it's no surprise Cathy Kothe holds the Guinness World Record for the largest collection dedicated to the lasagna-loving cat. As a young child, she became enamored with the Sunday comic, and that love snowballed into a house filled with orange tabby cats. We're joined by Cathy's husband, Robert, who embraces life amongst the orange felines and refers to himself as Cathy's greatest "enabler." The couple co-authored a book, "Loves Garfield," documenting their collecting adventures over the years. Nancy Vega, the President of the Garfield Gathering, joins us as we explore this massive collection, and she's found one Garfield collectible that Cathy doesn't have to offer in an enticing trade.
