There is a fundamental difference. Garfield is cat, and the comics is basically its point of view. Kind of pet perceiving a human world.Which is most often intended to be stupid and funny and readers are not supposed to relate to Garfield's point of view any ways.
in C&H its a stuffed tiger who and other aspects are imagined by Calvin a 5 year old kid. Calvin's interpretation is very smart and we can always relate to his thoughts. Often Calvins thoughts give us food for thought unlike in Garfield.
That explains why we can have a animation movie on Garfield adventures for kids, i am not sure it will be so easy with Calvin.

Honestly I can not see the big difference, sorry. I think it is acquired taste (identification with C&H, therefore interpreting it to be witty).
