I've always meant to extend this series so hopefully I'll find some time now there is a relevant thread to drop them in.

These are great dog cum Garfields.

More dog cum pls.

I disagree that they're great. Why would Garfield be drinking dog cum? These simply don't fit into Garfield canon.

Jim Davis himself claims he didn't drink dog cum; he explains that back on the farm they would give first-time cow moms protein supplements to insure healthier births and babies; veterinarians usually provided these supplements. (Human equivalent: pre-natal vitamins)

He assumed that such supplements existed for dogs as well (point for him, they do), and he claims that's what Jon drank.

But the reaction that Jon has suggests to me he KNOWS exactly what it is, and JimDavis is having a hearty inner lol to himself that he managed to make a cum joke in a comic strip seen by millions daily

Of course I know Jon drinks dog cum, my point is that GARFIELD wouldn't. Garfield's hatred of dogs is well known, so why would he be guzzling their semen?

Forgive this lengthy derail: but Jim Davis's claims cannot be trusted. He also claims that Lyman's short-lived presence in the comic and unexplained disappearance is simply a result of Garfield increasingly fulfilling Lyman's intended function of being someone for Jon to converse with. Yet other bit characters like Irma continue to make regular appearances decades after their introduction. Jon even has multiple neighbours and an entire extended family that still make infrequent appearances.

I reject Davis's claims . It is obvious Lyman was deleted from existence after Davis realised that Lyman had some unintended implications. The year is 1978. Lyman is the first recurring character addition (both other humans like Liz and animals like Nermal and Arlene had yet to be introduced). This makes him the first human character for Jon to share frequent panels with–having coffee together, sitting on the couch together, wearing matching tennis outfits etc.

He is a moustachioed man who suddenly moves in with Jon. From his first appearance his mannerisms are maybe not what would be expected of a man in the '70s:



Due to the panel comp he and Jon are often depicted in rather close physical proximity:





And there is stuff like this where the transition between second and third panel makes it appear that they are maybe dressing in the same room:



Also one of Lyman's few known hobbies is disco dancing.

All of this is to say: he and Jon's relationship had unintentional gay subtext that Davis, in his odd stilted style, didn't notice but probably had pointed out to him at some point. His sudden disappearance (coincidentally in 1982, the year the term 'GRID' was coined and publicised by the NYT in the early days of the AIDS epidemic) might not have been explicitly out of homophobia on Davis's part, but rather due to his goals being exclusively about commercialisation and mass marketability rather than art.

But I like to imagine a world in which Lyman had stayed with Jon as the one single instance of Davis taking a stand and insisting upon a creative rather than financial decision. A world in which Garfield is exactly what it is now, but also an early example of gay representation in popular and children's media, therefore earning it a place in pride history that would obligate people to defend its quality and cultural value. Alternatively that same statement but rather than 'gay representation' it is ''dog-cum-drinking representation'.

As established in such classic Garfield capers as "Garfield smokes Jon's pipe" and "Garfield uses Jon's toothbrush" Garfield covets whatever Jon has. It is also established that Garfield likes to rob Jon of whatever small pleasures he has to get him through his sad empty life, as established in the numerous "Garfield wrecks Jon's prized ferns" and "Garfield ruins Jon's food without even eating it" style antics. So he would surely seek to consume something Jon values as highly as dog cum before Jon himself has the chance to–most likely draining all of the most prized vintages aging in Jon's cum-cellar.
