Explanation[edit | edit source]

The original had Jon wear a mask welcoming Garfield to the 29th century, and Garfield says to wake him up in another five decades. Jon makes a sudden appearance in a futuristic uniform is unexplained, creating a jarring contrast with Garfield’s indifference. Garfield’s refusal to engage with Jon’s sci-fi theatrics is classic Garfield—apathetic, sarcastic, and timeless.

The author humorously suggests Jon may not have time-traveled at all, but simply ordered the uniform online to appear heroic.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

The United Federation of Galaxies is the enigmatic, Mega-Advanced, Far Future organization that the typical United Federation of Planets from the 23rd/24th Century turns into by the 29th Century, where they have Time Travel, improved stealth technology, weird, organic-looking ships that go from one side of the Galaxy to another in a day, and sometimes cross galaxies and access various dimensions and vortexes. How Jon went to the 29th Century is a mystery, maybe he got caught up in some misadventure or helped save the past from the Manipulators of Time, then again, maybe I'm thinking too much about this; he could have just bought that Timefleet Uniform, as I did, when I ordered from China via Amazon, and maybe he's trying to seem, brilliant, heroic, mysterious and can-do, which has will probably inevitably is in the middle of will (Pesky Confusing Time Travel) end up like every other such attempt by him to be meaningful.
