Balloon[]
Garfield's first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was in 1984. He was one of the longest running balloons seen in the parade, appearing in 14 parades (Not in 1990 or 1991, and did appear in 1998, but was damaged by the rain) from 1984-1999. The balloon was varnished by United Media for its first few years, and later Garfield's owner Paws, Inc. It was retired in 1999, and in 2003 a new Garfield balloon debuted.
