His 10th birthday happened to fall on a Sunday, allowing him to mark the occasion with more room and full color. Looking back on the past decade allows Jon and Garfield to acknowledge how much they have changed in that time, with a series of snapshots charting the evolution of their designs over the years.
The mouse in this birthday strip manages to pull off the impossible by presenting Garfield with a cupcake that even he does not want to eat. It’s not exactly clear what this mouse’s intentions are in popping out of a cake dressed as an exotic dancer. But the sight is enough to make Garfield lose his appetite.

Sure, he walks upright, has opposable thumbs, and has a very human personality, but these aspects of Garfield are not due to any sort of magic or science fiction. While spin-offs like Garfield’s Pet Force will explore more outlandish scenarios, the daily comic strip tends to keep things relatively “normal.
The strip has gotten a lot of mileage off the tradition of putting a candle on a birthday cake for every year the guest of honor has been alive. As Garfield has gotten older, the jokes have included his birthday candles crushing his cake or filling the house with smoke. This comic is a classic example. Here, it’s likely his lung capacity has gotten weaker as he’s grown older. Combine that with even more candles on the cake, and there’s no way he’s blowing them out on the first try.
