Garfield in reality may even be regularly abused by humans and chased by dogs, thusly why in his delusions he's mentally superior to both the human and the canine he knows. He's already coping in the survival part of the brain, why not cope in the sociological one?
Anyways, theory goes that Garfield is in a family with Jon and Odie, and has interactions with all the other characters. However, this is all within his mind, as he suddenly wakes up from the nightmare one day, to find the real world a cold, desolate, and abandoned place. Where he once found food, he now finds nothing, and his warmth and shelter are completely devoid, as if the world has suddenly died.
Garfield cannot comprehend this, and begins hallucinating. Since then, all of the strips of Garfield have been created by his twisted imagination as he slowly starves to death in his abandoned house.
These theories are based on a Halloween short run in 1989.
Jim Davis is reported to have actually "laughed loudly" when informed of these rumors circulating on the Internet. In Garfield's Twentieth Anniversary Collection, in which the strips are reprinted, Jim Davis discusses the genesis for this series of strips. His caption, in its entirety states:
"During a writing session that week, I got the idea for this decidedly different series of strips.I wanted to scare people. And what do people fear? Why, being alone of course. We carried out the concept to its logical conclusion and got a lot of responses from readers. Reaction ranged from 'Right on!' to 'This isn't a trend is it?'""

On a late-November evening in 1987, two Chicago television stations were victims of a broadcast signal takeover.
After an earlier hijack attempt on WGN-9 during the 9:00 News , a broadcast on WTTW-11 of the Doctor Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock" would be interrupted by a man wearing a Max Headroom mask. The crazed person uttered mostly gibberish and bashed the Chicago Tribune and its subsidiaries, before he dropped his pants and was spanked by what appears to be a child. 90-seconds later, the program returned to normal. To this day, he remains at large.
Peanuts
All of Charlie Brown's friends are imaginary. You know how very time he attempts to kick the football Lucy holds, she pulls it away and he trips over himself? The reason the football is always "pulled away" is because there is no football...and there is no Lucy...
Charlie Brown is a young boy in a low-income family. He has no real friends or siblings. He has his real dog Snoopy, who really isn't friendly towards him, so his "imaginary" snoopy goes on adventures and has his own exciting life as an excuse to why he doesnt bother with him.
Ever notice how most of the holiday episodes are gloomy? It's because that's how it really is, but in the end they always turn out good...in his imaginary world that is. Not receiving letters on Valentines day, receiving rocks on Halloween, getting a skinny dying tree for Christmas...that's all real...the ends of those episodes are what he makes up in his imagination.
Ever wonder why you never hear the adults speak normally? It's because that's what Charlie thinks of what adults say. It's gibberish he doesn't understand. At his age, he doesn't know what the words "loan" or "bankrupt" or "foreclosure" means. So in his imagination all adults speak in a silly non-understandable voice.
