In this Monday, Nov. 18, 2019 photo, Heritage Auctions displays some of the Garfield comic artwork drawn by creator Jim Davis in Dallas. Thousands of the comics drawn by Davis are going up for auction.

“There are just so many, and it was such a daunting task to figure what to do with them so that they could be out there where people enjoy them too,” said Davis, creator of the comic strip that appears in newspapers around the world and has spawned TV shows, movies and books.The auction house is selling two daily strips each week, along with longer Sunday strips being offered during the large-scale auctions throughout the year.

Comic art collector Nagib Baltagi has purchased about 20 of the strips so far and plans to bid on more. Baltagi, who lives in Miami, said he’s drawn to the strips that feature several of the characters and have a storyline that strikes a chord, in addition to ones that ran on meaningful dates.Indiana-based Davis says that over the years he gave some strips to family, friends and staff, while others are on displays at museums, including the Smithsonian Institution, and he even tried selling them on his website for a few years.
