Maybe I’m explaining the joke, but Jon is supposed to be an Everyman.

I’m a huge long-term fan of the Garfield comics. Lyman basically ditches Jon with Odie. It’s never explained in detail because it’s a 3 frame comic. More optimistically, and “cannon” Jon was enthusiastic about inheriting Odie while Lymon left for unexplained reasons. Jon thought owning a dog would help him meet women.
As for the quote you referenced. Garfield has thought bubbles. Jon talks. Lyman exists because he can talk while Garfield can only “think”. Jim Davis originally thought it would be confusing to have thought clouds and talk bubbles interacting. Like how does a cat talk with a person? But that quickly became the norm in the comic. Once talking and thinking could interact, Lyman no longer needed to exist.
Rare appearance of Jon’s friend Lyman, who doesn’t appear in hardly anything after 1980.
They just named it after the place they were from and put “new” in the front.
Trades once per hour? But that would be fair for everyone, can’t have that. People pay thousands or millions to get stock prices 30 seconds faster, because there are fortunes to be made with 30 seconds of advantage.
You see, if you add up the ages of all the characters in the Bible, include exactly 7 total days for the creation of the Earth, you get the only possible answer for the age of the Earth.
We don’t have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.
