Garfield famously isn't a big fan of Mondays, but here's the specific reason he hates them. Garfield was created by Jim Davis and he made his comic strip debut in 1978.

Garfield's deadpan humor has seen the character remain popular for over 40 years and outside of the comic strip, he's appeared in numerous TV shows, specials and CGI movies, including Garfield And Friends and Garfield Gets A Life.
In an odd twist of fate, Bill Murray would end up voicing Garfield in the 2004 live-action movie. Murray replaced Lorenzo Music, who had voiced Murray's Zombieland movies, but despite his evident distaste for the original he still returned for 2006 sequel Garfield: A Tale Of Two Kitties.
Garfield has many hates, including exercise, anything that requires effort and Mondays. Now there are many reasons people hate Mondays in real life, but for a spoiled cat for whom every day is basically the same, there shouldn't be any reason for him to single out a particular day of the week.
