5849: Solitude Saturday

Explanation[edit | edit source]
In this strip, Jon starts by proudly declaring that he has "tons of online friends," but quickly downgrades his claim to "some online friends" before finally admitting, with a cheerful smile, that he has none. Garfield, ever the snarky observer, delivers the punchline: "Kinda like your offline life!"
This comes from Jon’s gradual realization and Garfield’s blunt commentary, reinforcing the long-running joke about Jon’s social struggles. The author’s note adds an interesting perspective, stating that Jon has no friends and doesn’t want any, suggesting that solitude isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Jon has no friends, and he doesn't want any. There's no shame in enjoying alone time, and Garfield and Jon completely understand this
