Explanation[edit | edit source]

Destiny 2 introduced players to Pouka in Beyond Light. It only made a very small appearance during a single cutscene, but every time I see it written out I immediately think of Pooky in Garfield, both in terms of their names being fairly similar, but also in the fact that their appearances are actually more limited than people might realize (according to Garfield Wiki, Pooky appears in fewer than 200 comics across its first 14,000 comics (circa 2016)). In this universe, Garfield finds Pouka in 1978 and readers would be able to see it in more than a single cutscene. Though Pouka was included in the Destiny 2: Lightfall Collector's Edition, so maybe it will appear a bit more in-game as well.

Original strip: 1978-10-23.
