It also thought, I saw this comic before. I looked on Garfield.com and searched in the vault. And indeed, I found it on September 6, 2011. So, yes, it was there before.
Same gag redrawn from 9/6/11. I can understand revisiting the same joke or topic to add a different spin to it or present it from a different perspective. That’s good cartooning. But this is the exact same gag just redrawn.
I think it does matter. It’s a good gag. Maybe explore it a little more to view it from a different perspective or add a twist. That’s good writing. Reusing the same gag unchanged is laziness.

Haven’t I seen this strip before? (No, Odie, that wasn’t the first question either!)

This is either a rerun or else whoever’s ghost-cartooning for Jim Davis has a low opinion of the readers’ collective memory.

If he’s having problems with that question, he’s not likely to be able to answer the next one.

I notice this is almost an exact duplicate of the strip from September 6, 2011. There is a very slight difference in the artwork.
