trans redone but garfield is shoehorned in instead of dark souls

When I was 18,
18 years old,
I saw for the first time in my life,
I saw a vision of clarity
I saw a comic strip,
a 3-panel comic strip, that
though simple as it seemed, changed me,
changed my being, changed who I am,
made me who I am...
Enlightened me.
The strip,
Garfield.
The comic strip was new,
no more than maybe a month in a half since inception since,
since coming into existence.
And there it was before me in print, I saw it, a comic strip...
What was it called?
Garfield.
The story here is of a man, a plain man,
He is Jon, but he is more than that.
I will get to this later, but first let's just say he is Jon,
a plain man.
And then there is a cat
Garfield
This is the nature of the world here.
When I see the world
Th- the politics, the future, the...
Th -the satellites in space, and the people who put them there...
You could look at everything as a man and a cat...
Two beings in harmony, and at war.
So this strip I saw about this man, Jon,
and the cat, Garfield, you see?
Yes, hmm...
It... it is about everything.
This little comic is... oh...
Lo' and behold, not so little anymore.
So yes, when I was 18...
I saw this comic
and It hit me all at once, it's power.
I clipped it and everyday I looked at it and I said,
"Okay..."
"Let me look at this here"
"What is this doing to me? Why is this so powerful?"
Jon Arbuckle he sits here, legs crossed...
...comfortable in his home, and he reads his newspaper.
The news of the World, perhaps.
And then he extends his fingers.
Lightly, delicately.
He taps his fingers on an end table, and feels for something.
What is it?
It is something he needs....
...but it is not there.
And then he looks up, slightly cockeyed, and he thinks...
...his Newspaper is in his lap now, and he thinks this:
Now where could my pipe be?
This....
...I always come to this, because I was a young man.
I'm older now.
And I still don't have the secrets, the answers, so this question...
still rings true, Jon looks up and he thinks.
Now where could my pipe be?
And then it happens, you see it, you see...
It's almost like divine intervention: Suddenly...
it is there. And it overpowers you!
A cat is smoking a pipe!
It is the man's pipe - It's Jon's pipe - but the cat
This cat Garfield is smoking the pipe.
And from afar, and someplace near, but
Not clear, near but not clear.
The man calls out.
Jon calls out, and he is shocked, "GARFIELD!!"
He shouts.. Garfield.
That's the cat's name.
