Hello fellow Garfield fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Garfield is an American comic strip created by Jim Davis. Originally published locally as Jon in 1976, then in nationwide syndication from 1978 as Garfield, it chronicles the life of the title character Garfield the cat, his human owner Jon Arbuckle, and Odie the dog.

Who’s the mustache guy???

[–] bsoholic 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lyman. Jon's old high school friend and Odie's original owner.

Wow. That is some Garfield lore I was unaware of!

He eventually got written out and Jon became odie's defacto owner but they drop him in occasionally as an easter egg like in one of the old flash games on the Garfield website you went around a haunted house talking to ghosts and stuff and they had Lyman chained up in the basement.
