I forgot Liz the Vet went back that far as a character. Also, I remember this thread the first time around too. 🙂 ---

I don’t know how or why but I’ve seen this thread before. I recall it for one of the greatest lines ever used on a bulletin board “Steaming cup of Fido Jizz” 😃 ---

> [@fiddlesticks](#): > > I forgot Liz the Vet went back that far as a character. Also, I remember this thread the first time around too. 🙂 Liz the Vet has been around for ever. What’s changed is that eventually she and Jon started dating semi-regularly - she used to shoot him down incessantly, and while they once had a one-off date and it seemed to go well enough, they were never a regular thing. Incidentally, I don’t believe any dog jizzes enough to fill anything that would look like a coffee cup. Medicine or urine sample, I could believe. ---

Update! Buzzfeed namechecks this thread in an article here - > **[Garfield Creator Jim Davis Denies That Jon Drinks Dog Semen In A 1990 Comic...](https://www.buzzfeed.com/ishmaeldaro/garfield-creator-jim-davis-denies-that-he-made-jon?utm_term=.ylGRwl7WX#.amMalpvEW)** > > The "dog semen" comic has been talked about for decades. In which they hunt down Jim Davis and make him explain himself. Here’s what he has to say: > [@Jim Davis](#): > > “On the farm, we used to give first-calf heifers a high protein supplement to help them deliver healthier calves,” he said in a statement to BuzzFeed News. “The supplement was provided by our vet.” > > Since Liz is a vet, “I assumed that there would be a similar supplement for dogs,” Davis said. > > “So Jon is drinking a protein-enriched drink formulated for a pregnant dog.” > > That’s why Liz mentions the “healthy” litter Jon would have — because he had just drunk a supplement for pregnant dogs, not dog semen. > > “There you have it!” Davis said. I’m sure we will sleep better knowing this. ---

Okay, now how about the strip where Garfield gets high and wakes up with Barbie? [No](http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/1980/ga800612.gif), [really](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Radar/Garfield). ---

I shared the comic on Facebook and one of my friends pointed out that it could be interpreted as the vet calling Jon a female dog in a roundabout way. In other words, it’s just a joke about her calling him a bitch for stealing her coffee. ---

The fourth panel has Jon asking for a refill. ---

There is no way someone Jim Davis’s age would use “canon” as an adjective. Try harder, edgy millenial. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-garfield-where-jon-drinks-dog-semen/338272.md?page=7)
