2568: Garfield In 2053 Jumps The Shark
| Garfield In 2053 Jumps The Shark |

Explanation[edit | edit source]
This is a "Garfield in 2053" strip with a twist - the general concept already implies that Garfield jumped the shark long ago, but this latest strip takes it a step further by theoretically bringing back Lyman, after an absence of 70 years, without reintroducing anybody else. It's pretty straightforward.
The author writes[edit | edit source]
Now granted, this would be a rather adventurous decision for a comic strip to make, bringing back a character that went AWOL sometime in the 1980s to a nearly century-old comic strip, but it begs the question: Where's Jon? Where's Liz? Where's Odie? Why Lyman? Why now, after so long?
After all these years, there aren't very many sharks left for Garfield to jump, but I presume this would be one of them.
Original strips: 1979-02-04, 2013-01-17.
