Strip by: Richard L. Dodson

{Jon sitting alone in an artist's office}
Jon: Hi, there... I'm Jon Arbuckle. I'm a cartoonist, and this is my cat, Garfield.
Jon: {thinking to himself} Hi, there. I'm Garfield. I'm a cat, and this is my cartoonist, Jon.
Jon: Our only thought is to entertain you.
Jon: {thinking to himself} Feed me.

The author writes:

If we take the square root of -[Garfield2] we get Imaginary Garfield [(Garfield)i]. It's like Garfield Minus Garfield, but different.

Here is the imaginary version of the first Garfield strip.

Original strip: 1978-06-19.
