Garfield's grandfather[]

In a stretch of 12 comics in November 1980 (excluding a Sunday), a different-looking Garfield's grandfather showed up in his house and told about things when he was young; then he left saying he would write Garfield letters. However, Garfield yelled "cats can't write" and his ancestor replied, "now you're getting the picture". In those comics, he had gray hair, a slim body shape and seemed to have a personality like Garfield. It is possible that cat was Garfield's paternal grandfather shown only in those comic strips.
