      Garfield is a cat and doesn't have a job. The only ostensible difference between Monday and any other day is that Jon suddenly isn't around after having been home all weekend. Garfield doesn't hate Mondays, he loves Jon and is too proud to say it.

      “when the strip first begins Jon introduces himself as a cartoonist and we see a panel of him at his drawing board so it is possible he could have been working from home this whole time” is maybe the sentence I’ve typed that has made me hate myself the most

          I am willing to suspend belief such that, even if this is true, he closes his door or whatever so that he may work. There's still a separation where his time is not devoted to feeding a cat lasagne. I've decided this is the hill I will die on.

          I support this hill! all he wants is Jon’s undivided attention especially after Lyman’s untimely departure

          If we follow the ontological line of this reasoning, we see there are only two possible strips that John could draw, and that he draws both of them: 1. Garfield 2. Garfield Minus Garfield

          One of these two is his life as he wishes it and one of them is his life, true to the way that he actually lives.

          Have faith! Somewhere you have written a sentence even more excruciating, and forgotten it -- but someday when you least expect it, there it will be, daring you to come back out from under the couch and face the public again. Such is the way of the writer.
