* In [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1984/06/09 one strip]] Garfield laughs at the idea of a [[TalkingAnimal talking cat]]. ArbitrarySkepticism? No because technically Garfield can't actually talk either. In the strips we only hear his thoughts and doesn't actually speak in a human language.

** If it's any consolation, he clearly scares himself as much as he threatens the audience, making it unlikely he'd do much damage. Although, given later gags that involve Garfield acting feral and barring his teeth and claws, it's possible that part of him could resurface.

* Liz for a long time turns down Jon, though she did go on one date with him and accepted his invitation for a Thanksgiving dinner. Why did she change her mind in the 00s? Because Jon was making an effort to move on rather than keep asking her; a case of YouWereTryingTooHard. It's not that Liz finds Jon unbearably nerdy -- she always knew that about him. Rather, the issue was that he wasn't giving her space.

** Also note that A: In spite of the fact that [[ComicBookTime birthdays, Christmases, and New Year's are celebrated]] in the comic with religious punctuality, [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore Jon finally getting Liz]] is about the ''only'' life change in the comic from 1989 up to now!

No waking up, no being licked by Odie or prodded by Jon... [[FantasyDanceParty Jon and Odie are just suddenly there again]]. '''Conclusion?''' Garfield has been a [[SelectiveObliviousness hallucinating]] ghost since some point in the 1980s- the 1989 strips were a brief, unexplained awakening from the reverie. ''And the comic since then has been an uninterrupted continuation of the hallucination, including a "happy ending" for his owner that may or [[MindScrew may not have actually happened]]''. The creepiest cherry on the creepy cake comes in when you note the Aesop at the end of the strips...[[FridgeHorror which is an Aesop that Garfield ''never'' learned until it was too late]].

* In [[http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/1996/ga960113.gif this strip]], Garfield mentions going to the North Pole to eat a penguin. Intentionally or not, this gaffe makes it obvious that he's BS'ing Nermal.
* Garfield has had a notable thing against raisins, frequently citing them as his least favorite food. In real life, raisins (and, in turn, grapes) are poisonous, possibly fatally, to cats.
** On the other hand, Garfield has no problem with chocolate, which is also not good for feline digestion.
*** Chocolate tastes better.
** Onions and undecaffienated coffee are also not the best things for cats in large amounts. Hopefully Liz makes sure certain foods are eaten very sparingly.
* Dieting rarely works and people gain the weight back more often than not. Garfield's constant yoyo-dieting has probably messed up his metabolism, making it even harder for him to lose weight.
* Why can't Odie communicate with his thoughts like pretty much everything else? He doesn't have any thoughts to communicate with.
* Did Garfield die hallucinating Jon and Odie? Hardly. If you died hallucinating in 1989, how could you have heard of a [[https://garfield.com/comic/2014/01/26 selfie]]?
** Reincarnation?
* This could overlap with FridgeHorror, but most of the time when he is put on a diet, Garfield is given only vegetables like carrots and lettuce to eat. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning that they NEED meat in their diets to be healthy. No wonder Garfield calls a diet "die with a T"!
