I don't know why they can't crack a fucking book open and learn these things for themselves, but people seem to not have any idea of where Garfield's love of lasagna comes from even though it was clearly spelled out:
But it turns out there's even more to his origin story with Jim from The Office his owner Jon Arbuckle:
The restaurant owner, forced to choose between Garfield and closing his doors for lack of pasta, sold Garfield to a pet store. Garfield thought he was a goner until Jon Arbuckle walked in the door. It's apparently one of the benefits of being able to communicate with his owner that Garfield is able to source his childhood favorite on demand, despite the fact that - as many have pointed out - any cat who ate lasagna in the quantities Garfield enjoys would severely cut down its life expectancy. Of course, Mamma Leoni's is just the in-universe explanation for Garfield's unusual fixation on lasagna. In an interview with Huffpost, creator Jim Davis confirmed his reasoning for the choice, saying, "I love lasagne. I thought it would be funny to have a cat who likes lasagne but as it turns out, I hear from people all the time that their cats love lasagne."
Here's the strip from 38 years ago today; his fucking smirk in the final frame is KILLER 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
