@LibrarianRA Holy moly, that's one big phone. Or one very small child.

@LibrarianRA A perennial favorite in France for more than 30 years!

@LibrarianRA I have to question the 1978 date for the advertisement, though. The 1978 copyright in the ad is for Garfield the Cat, but the 1978 model for Garfield was not at all like how the phone looks.

From the eyes and feet the character model is early 80s, which seems more likely to square with when Garfield would be licensed into things like telephones.

@LibrarianRA @jiub He stays asleep until it's time to listen in!

@Austin_Dern @LibrarianRA I'm guessing the copyright covers Garfield the character and the publication date for the ad is later.

@LibrarianRA
Since you seem to know (based on the AltText) that the girl is gossiping, can you tell me pleez, if the Garfield phone liked lasagna?

Tks.
