On July 16, 2006,[3] a new storyline began with the promise of changing Garfield’s life forever (according to the strip’s official website). During the next two weeks, Garfield and Jon accidentally spotted Garfield’s vet and Jon’s crush Liz in a restaurant with another man. After an embarrassing meeting, Liz admitted that she actually liked Jon, and the date ended with a kiss[4] on July 28 (both Jon and Jim Davis’s birthday), when Jon could finally say that he had a life. There is some speculation that in Jon finally succeeding where he's failed since the beginning of the strip, Jim Davis may be setting up the finale of the comic sometime on or around this year's 30th anniversary. With no major character developments in 30 years, a potential wedding for Jon may be an appropriate way to end the Garfield saga.
In June 7, 1999, newspapers began to offer full-color Garfield weekday strips.
