A wild tangent in a conversation with my wife led me to bring up that, canonically, Garfield has outwitted God. I said this based on my memory of the Garfield: His 9 Lives TV special.
Then I checked my facts by reading the Wikipedia article, and the writers of that article grappled with more of the implications of the end of that show than I did as a kid: their interpretation is that Garfield is God, there have been several Earthly incarnations of Garfield created in God's image who do not know they are God (the one who lives with Jon and loves lasagna is the eighth), and there will be more in the future because God has no intention to hold Himself to the nine-lives limit.
I know this all originates from the TV writers deciding, hey, we can't have this end with Garfield dying forever, that would make children cry, so let's come up with a loophole. But the theological implications in canon are astounding
Difficult to overstate how absolutely buck wild the original 1984 comic book book turned out. Unambiguously the most provocative collection of Garfield Apocrypha to see print, such that any sensible Garpopes and Garcardinals who have since held office have had to exclude it from the canon.
It's always fun to flip through this one every once in a while!
For anyone who hasn't read it, the book is available for checkout on Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/garfieldhis9live00davi/mode/2up
