Jon: GARFIELD! WELCOME BACK! You must be starved. I'll get some food. Garfield: I'm starved. Home is where they understand you.
Why is Jon’s chair set in front of his door? Obviously the comic shows that he’s waiting for Garfield to return home. But Jon had sat at his chair for 17 days on end. It’s almost like he is waiting for something more, something very major in his life. Jon is not waiting for Garfield, he is waiting for life to take him. Jon sees no worth in continuing. He lost something so very important to his everyday life, that he cannot continue. Jon is awaiting the sweet release of the Daily Garfield Comic. So that he may laugh at how hilarious the Daily Garfield Comic is. This comic is no different than me waiting for the Daily Garfield Comic. Jon perfectly illustrates losing all hope, and desirability to continue. Until finally, the Daily Garfield Comic is released.
