    While I was making Arbuckle, I discovered a series of Garfield comics which had been lost for 40 years. Today on Quinton Reviews, we discuss Jim Davis’ unseen work. From Gnorm Gnat... To Jon.

    Fun fact: Jim once wrote that Garfield was born in an Italian restaurant, with "snow falling like parmesan cheese" outside the window-despite the fact that Garfield was born in June.
    I think this is him subtly referencing Garfield's true January birthday.

    Quick aside: librarians are badass and they will absolutely help you find whatever you're looking for. They're college educated professionals in the interdisciplinary study of Library Science, specializing in the Categorization, discovery, curation, archival, and research of media.

    I found something in the book "my laughable life with Garfield: the Jon Arbuckle chronicles". In the introduction, it mentions the "Jon" comic and shows early drawings of Jon, and surprisingly, a full comic strip from "Jon". I checked the date of the books original print and it was 2012. So "Jon" was released to the public at least once before this, but it was brief and I don't think anybody took notice. But your discovery was bigger because this book included only one strip, you found most of them! Good job and congratulations!

    A... candy came? But what could this mean? As you know, a fandycane contains no nicotine, therefore is non- poisonous to cats. Yet it's amazing, isn't it, fascinating even, that originally, Garfield stole Jon's candy -- sugar, obesity, gluttony. Garfield was the fat greedy cat who fed off Jon the slim's sweets! Sweets, sweets, but of course -- the fat orange cat also saves Jon from its figurative poison. Garfield the cat had saved Jon once from figurative poison, and then, when the strip was remade, no, reborn, Garfield the cat saved John from literal poison! Why, I cried! I cried, cried, cried! When I came upon this revelation!

    I live in Indiana, not very far from Pendleton. I drive through there multiple times a week while working. I’ve never been much of a Garfield fan, but I have actually heard of “Jon” before.
    I work in the HVAC industry, and one day a couple years ago a customer whose house I was working at was talking to myself and a coworker about his collection of items in his man cave. My coworker asked about a Garfield sign he had, and he spun us the whole yarn about Jim Davis getting his start in Pendleton, then produced an old paper with a Jon comic in it. I had no idea that this wasn’t well known. Craziness.
