4341: Begin Again: Jon Edition
| Begin Again: Jon Edition |
 Made by: MaisieMacKenzieFan2000 |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip takes the premise of 3191: Begin Again and extends it to the true origin of the Garfield mythos: the first strip of Garfield's predecessor strip, Jon. As such, this strip replaces the last panel of the original Garfield strip with the very first panel of Jon, showing that Garfield may have gone too far backward in time with his stunt.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
After I saw the strip of when Garfield went too far to 1978, I thought I would make Garfield write on the calendar and go too far to 1976, showing the early prototype Garfield strip.
Original Jon strip: 1976-01-08.
Original strip: 2014-06-19.
