Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip recreates the premise of the original Garfield strip with the title character of the comic strip Luann standing in for Jon and with Garfield nowhere to be seen; the title character of Cathy is substituted for Jon's mother, the title character of Dilbert for Jon's father, Paige from FoxTrot for Jon's grandmother, and Woodstock from Peanuts for Doc Boy. What was originally Garfield's role in the final panel has been redone as a caption.
If this strip was indeed using assets from Luann strips, such strips went uncredited.
