** From about [[http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2000/ga000904.gif September 2000]] to [[http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2001/ga010113.gif January 2001]], the art was a little more jagged and pointy (look at Garfield's ears and mouth in particular).
** Between [[http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2005/ga050320.gif March 2005]] and [[http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2006/ga060101.gif January 2006]], Garfield's ears were shrunken drastically.
*** A particularly jarring example of off-model Garfield in that timespan [[http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2005/ga050209.gif here]].
** And in this [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2006/04/23 April 2006 strip]], Jon's entire face was rather off model.
** In this [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2010-10-03 October 2010 strip]], Garfield and Jon look very off-model.
** The [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1989/08/12 August 12, 1989 strip]] looks ''unusually'' off-model for the period. No other strips of the time had Garfield and/or Odie drawn in such a way.
** The [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1984/09/17 diet arc from September 1984]] is another example.

* [[MailmanVsDog Mailman Vs. Cat]]: Played with, it's ''Garfield'' who harasses the mailman. He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the trope in an early strip asking "Why should dogs have all the fun?" Sometimes he just pulls harmless pranks while other times he sadistically attacks him or catches him in an elaborate booby trap. However, the mailman will occasionally get his revenge on Garfield.
