When we landed we had to wait on the plane until English Prime Minister Calahan departed the Airport.

   This is the AI version: I was curious, so I did some research and found out that Garfield’s origin story began in 1978, the same year that “The Cat from Outer Space” was released. Interesting coincidence, don’t you think?
