I think she first said, “No, it’s short for ‘Lizard Breath’” when Jon (meeting Liz at her vet office) asked if her name is short for Elizabeth. I’m on a Tablet so I can’t get to the garfield.com Strip Vault. Someone look around June 26 of 1979 (according to my 20th anniversary “Garfield” book; the date shows her debut, but not her name yet).

Give Jon credit Liz. At least he is trying.

The second thing was, I take it, “Exchange it for a polka-dotted bow”?

Jon, Cmon lets update the clothes a bit. Bowties may be cool, but it doesn’t work for you. Really teddy bear bow tie, a stripe tie would be better.

What did she actually first say? Did anyone confirm this in old strips?

Jon should’ve gone all the way, polka-dot bowtie, and a polka dot sports coat. Gotta love Liz though…
