Description Remeber Lyman from the old Garfield comics?
I always liked Lyman, he was cool. He had a moustache.
Anyway, as of 1983, you never saw him in a strip again. Why? Well Jim Davis had intended Lyman to be someone for Jon to talk to. But that role was later assumed by Gafield.

In Garfield's 20th anneversery book, there was a section that had the top 10 things that happened to Lyman.
SO this got me thinking, "why not make a comic about Lyman and odie? One that shows what things they were doing instead of Garfield and Jon?"

So this is the first comic.
If you're a big Garfield fan like me, or read the first Garfield comic ever, you'l understand the joke. If not, then go here:[link]

Lyman was one of my most favorites in the Garfield strips. I am angry still that he is not appearing now. I have almost all the Garfield volumes in book format because I bought them and I was hoping that one day we'd get to see Lyman again.

hoping upon hope itself. I know Lyman's awesome but I doubt Jim Davis thinks that.

the no1 response to whatever happened to Lyman was: "Don't look in jon's basement."
