Trivia: Also the name of his owner, what was the original title of “Garfield”?
Jon
Odie
Jim
Dr. Wilson
Correct Answer: Jon
So why is this answer correct? : Before the comic strip “Garfield” was named after the famous orange tabby cat, it was called “Jon” after its main character and Garfield’s owner, Jon Arbuckle. As the pasta-loving feline’s role grew during the comic strip’s first year in print, creator Jim Davis switched the name to “Garfield.” A year later, on June 19, 1978, the comic strip premiered nationally, and still today follows Jon, Garfield, and the dog Odie through daily life.
