The first Garfield strip establishes Jon as a cartoonist, but (as far as I know) we're never shown any of his work. The only glimpse we get is a vague set of scribbles in the background of the 1978-06-19 strip, which is rather too small to make out anything. I did some enhancing and skewing and traced the lines as closely as I could, and... this is what we end up with. I guess I can see why Jon's no longer being referred to as a cartoonist.
Between having the idea and actually making it, I noticed I'd apparently been beaten to it by a YouTuber called Quinton Reviews, who is wearing a shirt featuring the strip in this video. I think my version is different enough to submit here, though.
And yes, in all likelihood this is not Jon's first strip. I just thought it'd make for a good title.
Original strip: 1978-06-19.
