Garfield is a lazy and irritable cat who always wants food. He belongs to Jon who is a cartoonist.
The comic strip Jon was a strip that Jim Davis created before launching the now famous Garfield comic strip. Jon focusing more on the titular cartoonist and his social life rather than being focused on Garfield.
This earlier iteration of Jon & Garfield from the 1976 comic strip was unearthed by youtuber Quinton Reviews who made the scans available online which showed that these comic strips did not have copyright notice on them at a time where that was a requirement
Notes
- The modern iteration of Garfield is still under copyright as is any that was published after 1978.
- Garfield is a registered trademark of Paws Inc. (subsidiary of Nickolodeon)
