The Thing That Stayed...Forever!
Jon receives a call that his uncle Ed is coming. Shocked, he decides to think of an excuse only for Uncle Ed to let himself in. Ed assures them that he only plans to stay for a couple of days (with a huge number of suitcases). When lunch is served, Ed eats ALL the food, including the gravy. Garfield and Odie ask if they can rent a hotel until he leaves, but Jon reassures that he'll leave soon. Ed takes over Jon's bed, the television and the money, but Jon keeps reassuring Garfield he'll leave. Christmas passes by and Ed's still there. Jon finally snaps when Ed decides he want to stay for a few more months or years, and begs Garfield to rid of him.
First Garfield and Odie try to serve Ed a disgusting meal, but it fails as Ed loves it and wants to stay longer. They try to tamper with his hammock, but that also fails. Finally Garfield decides to ask Jon to make a phone call. Ed's wife Edna arrives, and is very upset that he left the house and disturbed Jon's life during the past months of the 'diet' that she gave him. Ed tries to come up with an excuse but he is dragged away by Edna. Jon thanks Garfield, but actually begins to miss Ed when he has to order everything in an Italian menu as Garfield's reward.
