However, this means that the first panel after the logo box (called the drop panel, or throwaway gag, because newspapers can drop it without ruining the point of the strip) is no longer printed in the compilation books. Volumes 37 and later introduced a new, larger square book in full color, showing the Sunday strips to be formatted in a size as they usually are, instead of shrunken-down to meet the book size. These books introduced the "Garfield format" in publishing, whereby the rectangular books are horizontally oriented to match comic strip dimensions Davis has recalled having to invent the format to better fit the books on store shelves. The titles of these books were styled as double entendre alluding to Garfield's weight (Note: an extra at the end of a Garfield compilation advertised "rejected book titles"). Each book collects approximately six months of comics, including the Sunday comics (which were in black and white prior to Volume 37). These books were originally printed in black and white, but Volumes 37 and later, as well as reissues of earlier volumes, have been in full color. These books, generally released twice a year by Ballantine Books, contain reprints of the comic strips as they appeared in newspapers.
