Would we say today that Jim Davis, the author of Garfield, was an incel ?
i know that later in the cartoon he Jon, his main character, finally match with a compatible woman ...
- I think Jon was being presented as a lovable but clueless dork. Though his harassment (and forced kissing) of the vet has aged poorly.
  
  Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I do agree that, something like 40 years ago, it was read like you explained.
  Also, reading again my question, i realize that i was confusing the author for the character (so I was confusing Jim Davis for Jon ...). ... if it was autobiographic, i don't know to what extent it would have been.
