Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Also the name of his owner, what was the original title of the comic strip Garfield?"
...Before it became the globally syndicated hit Garfield, Garfield was originally titled Jon when it debuted in 1976. Created by Jim Davis, the early strip focused more heavily on Garfield’s socially awkward owner, Jon Arbuckle. However, editors soon realized that the sarcastic, lasagna-loving orange cat had far greater comedic appeal. In 1978, the strip was relaunched nationally under the title Garfield, shifting the spotlight squarely onto the cat who would become one of the most recognizable comic characters in the world.
