ArcaMax Publishing Inc. (arcamax.com), a leading provider of family-friendly news, is proud to announce that its Garfield publication has exceeded 500,000 subscribers.

The daily dose of Jim Davis's light-hearted and witty humor has been well received in e-mail form. The publication has increased from 375,000 in January to 500,000 subscribers in October of 2005 -- an increase of 125,000.

"This proves to us that people find the e-mail concept of receiving a popular comic like Garfield very convenient and entertaining," said Scott Wolf, ArcaMax Publishing CEO. "We're seeing about 100,000 new subscribers every six months."

The Garfield comic strip is consistent with ArcaMax Publishing's family friendly policy. The company sends out 25 "ezines," or online newsletters, on topics that include pets, parenting, gardening, home and science.

ArcaMax Publishing also sends out a Jokes ezine, which has also had success with more than 1000,000 new subscribers in the past year. Both Garfield and Jokes are available on the ArcaMax Funnies page at http://www.arcamax.com/cgi-bin/news/channel/1001.

"Both of the ezines bring a laugh every day, which we feel is the most basic reason for their successes," said Hugh Spain, ArcaMax Publishing Managing Editor.
