It should really be Jon in a straitjacket and padded room, but Jim Davis isn't willing to push the limits that far.

ya'll are the ones who don't know things (Z S), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 14:47 (sixteen years ago)

it would be so badass if the very last Garfield strip went down that way. it'd sure beat Charles Schulz's maudlin "Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, how will I ever forget them" farewell, at any rate.

who's the other, non-Jon mustacheguy in that first strip?

I used to like dem burgers boy (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 22:20 (sixteen years ago)

Lyman was a friend of Jon's who lived with him for a while and was the original owner of Odie. He first appeared on August 7, 1978. However, he disappeared from the comic in 1983 and his disappearance was never fully elaborated upon. His last appearance in the strip was a cameo on Garfield's 10th Birthday June 19, 1988 where he appears in the title panel seated between Jon's Dad and Liz, he also appears in a flashback panel within the strip. Recently, Davis was forced to directly address the issue of 'What happened to Lyman?'. According to Davis, Lyman's original purpose was to be someone who Jon could actually talk to and express other ideas—a role more and more taken over by Garfield himself. Hence he was removed without explanation. The closest thing Davis has ever given to explain his absence is "Don't look in Jon's basement".

gangsta hug (omar little), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 22:22 (sixteen years ago)

In the Web game "Scary Scavenger Hunt" he's shown chained onto the wall in the basement of a haunted mansion as well as screaming in a bathtub upstairs (in a scene clearly referencing the "shower scene" in the film Psycho; even the screeching violins from the infamous scene are played here). In "Scary Scavenger Hunt 2", his head is found inside the kitchen oven.

the middle 3 panels would be even more brilliant if they were presented as a regular weekday strip w/ no explanation or backstory whatsoever.

WOING!

I have fond memories of garfield eating jon & odie in a dream sequence but dunno how it holds up today.
hi-concept one where garfield literally kicks odie into next week.

Also humongous 500lb ogreish year-one garfield visually hilarious by itself.

Garfield is actually terrified because Jon has taken to filling the creamer with dog cum.

I'd be way more concerned if a child wasn't confused by that strip.

Jim Davis is a native of Indianapolis.

It's no excuse, but it does provide context.

Not Indianapolis per se but not too far. He lives within almost literal spitting distance of my family homestead so it wasn't uncommon to just like see him disheveled and shopping at the mall or something, presumably while his staff was hard at work on the latest Garfield strip.

Hate to say it, but if your capital city and largest city also contains the state's name, everyone's just going to think of the two as one and the same.

Unless there's a cool city up the way like Tulsa.

Jon is so racist he can't stop feeling disgusted by Asians even hours later.

Really though, there's such established cartoon tropes to signify someone has eaten something too hot (face turning red, smoke coming out of the mouth/ears, etc) that it's really mystifying whoever drew that didn't just use them.
