I just read this article in Buzzfeed: [Garfield Creator Jim Davis Denies That Jon Drinks Dog Semen In A 1990 Comic Strip](https://www.buzzfeed.com/ishmaeldaro/garfield-creator-jim-davis-denies-that-he-made-jon) and apparently the online hubub started [here on the Straight Dope](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=352331). Of course if you look at that thread and you look at Davis’s explanation at the end of the Buzzfeed article, \*\*Miller \*\*figured out the answer in one post. But, we were cited today. Huzzah. ---

I’m feeling an absurd level of satisfaction over this. ---

Ooorrrr. . . Davis actually meant semen but then when it got this halfway disgusted reaction he saw Miller’s early explanation and ran with it. ---

According to Davis, we were supposed to clue in on the fact that Jon was having a _healthy_ litter of puppies, not that Jon was having a healthy litter of _puppies_. This might be a case of being too close to the subject matter to really see the joke. 😉 ---

Is no one going to comment on the Twitter user who got the signed strip from Davis? No one? @realnutsling, whose bio reads “men’s microbikini enthusiast, power bottom and proud #Christian father of the three most beautiful girls in the world”? Ok.
