I think Garfield is funnier without any explanations. Jon is just a weirdo and we accept that.

Good lord. I had no idea that it had been in production for so long or done by 3 different groups of people.

Also, fixed your link.

The best part of it is that the artist (Scott Roberts) wrote and presumably maintains it, which is why it goes into ridiculous detail about stuff exactly nobody else could care about before it all got edited out.

Seriously, there was a cast list, and a whole thing about how Zakour got the idea for Rita always carrying a water bottle. Take a look for yourself.

I think that the writer expects us to remember a strip a long time ago where Gwen basically friendzones Skip and shuts him down with an "I don't date people at work." Wouldn't be the first/only writer to expect audiences to have that much recall (I'm looking at you, Evans and Batiuk)

I wonder if it is ever a reasonable expectation.

(As to why I do remember that strip, I have no idea, but I remember backstories for FW, LuAnn and JP and others too, so I'm not showing favorites here.)

Wikipedia posted:

Marciuliano has also received praise for his depiction of the breakout character of Ted Forth, a strategic sourcing professional who is married to the strip's title character and has changed significantly under his writing duties. Under his creative direction, the character of Ted has become both a triumph of unrelenting humor and a beacon for all who doubt the existence of true joy on this planet.

1. Rip fire escapes off building.
2. Set building on fire.
3. Pillage corpses for clothes. They'll never question dead people.

A perfect plan.
