A Dated Joke

Explanation[edit | edit source]

Anyone who's ever read Garfield knows that Jon is infamous for being a failure with women (until 2006, when he and Liz became a couple). This strip plays on this recurring theme by replacing the original Godzilla-related joke with one about Jon's love life. The title of this strip cements this - it's both a pun on the joke being dated (old-fashioned; no longer common) and a pun on Jon's relationship woes.

The author writes[edit | edit source]

Obvious edit is obvious. I'm almost certain Jon has had at least one date that went more or less this way.

Original strip: 2018-10-28.
