>Jon Arbuckle and Garfield started merely as thoughts. But they've become so much more. That old cliche rings true. They've taken on a life of their own.
>And life may not be what we... think. Life brings to mind: A beating heart, breathing lungs, blinking eyes.
>But the real light is in our imaginations.
>And who better embodies the definition of imagination if not a simple man, a cartoonist who puts his ideas to paper so that they may live on. In our children. In our children's children. And their children's, children's children can access the wealth of ideas that have accumulated thus far. They will plug themselves into an information grid and they will have access.
>They will read every garfield comic. 80,000 years from a child will see simple Jon Arbuckle, reading a newspaper. He will feel around for something, but that something is not there. He will lift his head and think
>"Now where could my pipe be?".
>And Garfield will be smoking the pipe.
>And Jon will yell "GARFIELD!"
>And what then? 80,000 years from now? The child reading this comic will smile. And that smile will transcend space and time and the physcial limitations of this existence whatever it may be. However dimensions exist, there will always be Garfield. And there will always be its creator.
