* That Cat and Snoopy annoy each other, and the cat likes to destroy Snoopy's Doghouse. It doesn't seem like a stretch that Garfield, who loves to cause Odie pain, wouldn't be up for destroying a doghouse. Plus, there could be another reason as to why Lucy hates dog kisses: Odie keeps kissing her

Have you noticed the glee of the fat cat and the lady right next to her when the chief called for Owooda and Mai Tai than their collective shock when Owooda walked in with the pink cat who looks like Arlene? That's because the fat cat was infact Mai Tai and that the fat lady was her kittysitter assigned to her(the fat lady is ''clearly'' '''not''' Owooda judging from the words of the chief so this is the only logical possibility). The cat who looks like Arlene? That's Arlene following Garfield to Paradise Island(which part of the plane she was on is unknown) and judging from Mai Tai and her Kittysitter's reaction to her appearance hitch-hiked on the car Jon rented all the way to the village and snuck out while Jon and Garfield were listening to the chief's tale about "The Cruiser" and ended up being found by Owooda who adopted her(until she snuck away to follow Garfield back to the US leaving Owooda with the much fatter Mai Tai).

* She never shows her teeth ''even once'' which indicates that she doesn't want Garfield to suspect her true identity(which explains why she dosen't correct Garfield when he addresses her as Mai Tai) and start matching wits with her nor to start insulting the gap between her teeth.

\"the flower-guy\" has a name, you know!


Garfield has the same everting powers as the flower-man but is so lazy that he didn't even know he had them. One day, he took a nap in an eversion point and accidentally everted while he was asleep. After he woke up, he found his house in its everted state, freaked out, and then accidentally reverted the house back to normal.

* Even if one thinks they look like raisins, [[FridgeLogic they certainly wouldn't smell the same]], especially to a cat. Unless of course Garfield has an unusually poor sense of smell, which is possible since he doesn't seem to use it much.

*** The manic states lend credence to the bipolar theory, but don't necessarily joss the depression. RealityIsUnrealistic indeed, as depressed people can still have upbeat times even in private, and in some cases these aren't infrequent.

New Halloween 1989 WMG

Added DiffLines:


[[WMG:Garfield was briefly shunted into an alternate universe during the Halloween 1989 strips]]
Garfield was not imagining anything, nor is he simultaneously hallucinating and starving to death. He just happened to fall asleep at a point in space and time which was connected to a universe where his home truly was abandoned. Not long after, though, he was sent back to his home reality when the powers that be realized that he was in the wrong universe.

They were just a disturbing look into what Garfield thinks when Jon leaves. Jon only went to the store and was only gone for a few minutes.

** RealLife injection: The October 28, '89 strips started to gain wide Internet attention around the same time period parodies like ''GarfieldMinusGarfield'' started to become big. Shortly after ''that'', so did ''Allegro Non Troppo'' when people started accusing Jim Davis of having ripped it off for these strips. If you're willing to believe Davis, the "rip-off" theory itself is Jossed.

Cats and dogs don't normally live as long as Garfield and his crew have. Ignoring the rule of ComicBookTime for the sake of this theory, at some point, the original cast passed on. Jon, whose [[CloudCuckoolander sanity is often]] [[GarfieldMinusGarfield questionable already]], didn't take this well. However, Garfield had [[OfficialCouple gotten together with Arlene]] at some point (and Odie with some random poodle or other TemporaryLoveInterest), with the [[BabiesEverAfter usual results]]. Jon adopted one of the kittens that looked the most like his father, named him Garfield, and did the same for Odie. He continues to celebrate the wrong birthday and age as part of his ongoing denial over losing the originals.

** He laughs it off, but he doesn't actually offer a better explanation. Of course it's a scary story fitting for Halloween, but why would that make it invalid? I posit that not only every comic since, but also every comic before the 23rd are part of the delusion. And Davis ''doesn't know''.
