Strip by: MadDogBV

Garfield: People are complaining we've become stale.
Garfield: So we've decided to bring back a fan favorite.
Lyman: {enters panel left} Hey, Garfield.
Garfield: Hello, Lyman!

The author writes:

Now granted, this would be a rather adventurous decision for a comic strip to make, bringing back a character that went AWOL sometime in the 1980s to a nearly century-old comic strip, but it begs the question: Where's Jon? Where's Liz? Where's Odie? Why Lyman? Why now, after so long?

After all these years, there aren't very many sharks left for Garfield to jump, but I presume this would be one of them.
