More Garfield
So, there are indeed two obviously different women: Liz, the vet Jon has been crushing on for years, and amnesia woman who had gotten up to go to the bathroom. I find it mildly troubling, to say the least, that I can't follow the plot of a week's worth of Garfield without getting confused.
In my own defense, I'd like to point out that I missed this vital strip -- the strip upon which the whole Liz subplot rests:
But honestly? Had I seen this, I would have just assumed (as I did in the strips that appeared after this one) that amnesia chick had just forgotten who her date was. Are we really supposed to recognize Liz?
What's the deal here? A Garfield with a plot? A Garfield that expects us to follow along and remember what happened in previous days? All with an amnesiac playing a central role. Funny.
And . . . whoah: Panel 2 today: Liz really likes Jon? Since when? How? Whuh? Strange things are afoot in Garfield world, people. Strange things . . .

To be fair, now that we see Ellen and Liz together, it's apparent that they are, in fact, twins. Of course, one of them -- or, more likely, both of them -- must color their hair.
Perhaps the two ladies are not in love with Jon's rival, but with each other.
Perhaps the two ladies are about to have a catfight (which is why Garfield is in the picture) . . . Stay tuned.
Big Al,
You have obviously not seen that cinematic gem, still in theatres everywhere: Garfield II: A Tale of Two Kitties in ::spoiler::
which Jon proposes marriage to Liz and she accepts.
Jim Davis appears to be trying to make the strip match the movie, at least as far as having Jon have an actual romantic relationship with Liz goes.
Did anyone see Garfield II? Was it a movie worth seeing? Just curious.

Do you know this because you saw the movie? Like, did you actually pay to see it? And if so, why?
I saw the movie. I paid to see it. I have small children, who think talking animals are funny. For adults, it is a definite thumbs down.
