Garfield ate Lyman?
Okay, that’s one beaut I haven’t heard about the reason for his disappearance.

The only Lymon I know of had something to do with Sprite, or maybe 7UP. Can’t remember, it’s been too long.

Only Rip would make a game of playing with man eating tigers and come out ahead.

Great reference, Dan, only hardcore Garfield fans would know who Lyman was, He’s like the youngest Winslow kid from “Family Matters”, he just disappeared.

There goes Dan digging deep into in Cartoon archives. It would have been even better if Lyman’s head was somewhere in the pit.

Why is Queen Cobra being bossed around by her underling?
Dragoncat over 11 years ago
Is that what happened to Lyman? What made me think that he and Irma might have secretly eloped?

What? No Ka-Soundeffects? I love the expression on the tiger’s face in panel 3…

Lyman’s last appearance was on June 19th, 1988 for the 10th anniversary strip. He is probably buried under the floorboards or baked into lasagna.
