At least one episode of our favorite cat’s cartoon show (’It’s About Time.” written
by Mark Evanier) includes a time machine in which a jealous Nermal goes back in time to
replace Garfield at the pet shop when he was first adopted by Jon. After that, Garfield still
has his Jon-centric memories, but nobody at Jon’s house recognizes the lasagna-eating cat.
Interviewer: Professor Bonkers, is it true you’ve invented a
time machine?
Professor: That is correct.
Interviewer: How long did it take you?
Professor: The rest of my life. I actually finished it 47 years from
now, and then when I was done, I jumped into my time machine and came back here to today
in it.
