Perhaps the best moment of candor since Jim Davis’ appearance on the Too Close For Comfort television series decades ago. And certainly a more encouraging story arc than the hapless Jon moments that eventually lead to self-depreciating revisits in Garfield Minus Garfield.
Of course, if Jim was really lazy, he could have just copied the first panel two more times, instead of putting in the effort of attempting to draw Garfield again.

I do not believe this strip has even been drawn for decades.

I suspect on a computer, it may actually be more effort to draw the last one that the first

And yet people are giving the new Nancy grief for the same style of joke.

No revelations here. Jim Davis has been lazy for a long time.

Or, even better, copied an old strip.

And by Jim, he means the random Paws Inc. intern that actually drew this.

The more I read this one, the more interesting I find it. Well done, Jim. And someone has the nerve to call you lazy … [smile]

Pretty much what happens to me when drawing for Deviantart.

Is it ironic that in the last panel Garfield looks more like a bird then a cat?

I think this was made because of the fact that Garfield was turning 40 in 2018
