Explanation[edit | edit source]
In this strip, Garfield excitedly opens a jar labeled "Cookie time!", expecting a treat. However, instead of cookies, he finds Lyman inside the jar, leading to a horrifying realization. Garfield runs screaming from the room, his hand covered in blood, while Jon casually reads his newspaper—sporting a trollface expression. The comic plays on the dark humor surrounding Lyman’s mysterious disappearance from the Garfield universe.
The author writes[edit | edit source]
Jon has put Lyman's head in the oven and under a blanket, but Garfield still found it, so he put it in a jar that says "Lyman", not one of his greatest ideas, but did he ever have great ideas?
