   I’m surprised that Jon can keep a potted plant alive.

   This strip’s name should be changed to ‘Beating a Dead Horse’

   This was funny as all get out. He can’t tell the difference between Jon and a potted plant because there IS no difference. Another good zinger on Jon.

    He really should wear a nametag… if not to avoid confusion with the potted plant, then to make sure his name is always spelled as Jon and not John.

    I’m not sure a name tag would help.

    This actually has the kind of goofy charm I used to like Garfield for. If you really want something to complain about, look at Liz. All her character has been dumped out the window since she started dating Jon. Never mind that he’s “crude, wishy-washy, and a twerp,” as she put it.

    And his antics, which would normally embarrass her to death, just make her smile like it’s so-o-o-o cute. Where did her sarcasm go? Where did the attitude that defined her go? She’s not a character anymore; she’s Jon’s trophy.

    My favorite incarnation of Liz was on the cartoon. The cartoon felt more inclined to do a happy ending than the comics, so her dates with Jon were generally embarrassing but ended on a happy note. The result was that she and Jon were closer than in the comics, without sacrificing her character.

    I’m surprised Garfield didn’t EAT the potted plant. He used to do that a lot when the strip started.

    LibrarianinTraining:
    He was getting ready to eat it. The whole name-tag thing is a distraction.

    ,,,,,and a heck of a lot more intelligence.

    Right on, ninmas & pookid54. Watching paint dry would be more fun than doing time with Jon.
