1* ColbertBump: The comic strip's whole existence was only brought into public recognition when [=YouTuber=] WebVideo/QuintonReviews decided to look for ''ComicStrip/GnormGnat'' strips. It was also featured by ''WebVideo/SuperEyepatchWolf''.
2* CreatorBacklash: To an even greater extent than ''ComicStrip/GnormGnat''; while Davis is happy to mention and [[SelfDeprecation deprecate]] ''Gnorm Gnat'' when speaking about his past before ''Garfield'', he almost never mentions ''Jon'' at all.
3* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Prior to 2019, almost no strips circulated. One of the few that did was published in the ''Garfield'' anthology ''20 Years and Still Kicking'', while others cropped up in ''Garfield at 25: In Dog Years I'd Be Dead''. The strips as a whole were never circulated outside of a regional Indiana newspaper, only being unearthed in July 2019 by WebVideo/QuintonReviews. Even so, Jim Davis hardly mentions the existence of this strip.
4* PopularityRedo: A number of early ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' strips are redone versions of ''Jon'' strips. Towards the end of ''Jon''[='=]s run (by that point renamed ''Garfield''), a few non-bug related strips of its predecessor ''ComicStrip/GnormGnat'' were also remade into ''Jon'' strips.
5* SimilarlyNamedWorks: The strip was renamed ''Garfield'' later in its run, not to be confused with the retooled and syndicated ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}''.
