2916: Goodbye, Lyman
| Goodbye, Lyman |
 Made by: Michael C. Fortner |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip is essentially the author's take as to Lyman's fate in the Garfield canon, in this case being killed by Odie under trigger from Garfield. The third panel in particular depicts blood in a somewhat gruesome fashion for a family-friendly webcomic, with Garfield denying having any role in having triggered Odie into killing Lyman.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
After all these years, we can finally tell you what really happened to Lyman.
P.S.: My son, after seeing this one, said I need professional help. I don't understand why.
Original strip: 2002-10-02.
Transcript[edit | edit source]
Garfield: Odie, Lyman said that you're a noodle-neck stupid head.
Garfield: Are you going to take that?
{Blood splatters on the wall and blood gushing into frame from the left}
Jon: Why is Odie ripping out Lyman's throat?
Garfield: {smugly} It's a mystery!
