Yes. It really took Garfield a month to decide on the topic. That's what happens sometimes when he gets rattled about something; he sleeps on it, then he sleeps on it some more (good thing then that Garfield is not in school, or else he would really get behind on the thesis assignment). He might even have went on sleeping and ignoring the topic for a couple months more, if only that pesky Nermal didn't give him a great topic idea.
It was actually last Saturday when Nermal came to visit unannounced (and unwelcomed, in Garfield's personal opinion). As usual, Jon went about fawning on how especially adorable Nermal is that day; while Garfield, disgusted with the whole scene, went about to look for food.
And so, half an hour later, that's how Nermal found him: in the kitchen, polishing a big batch of lasagna. Nermal, trying to look cute as can be, then innocently shared that he has tried a recipe of fish lasagna, but that he doesn't think it will be an appropriate cat food for him.
Garfield, licking his paws clean in time for a napbreak, paused at Nermal's words. Then, it him! There are the three topics he has been mulling over for a month: Fish, Lasagna, Cat food. Nermal, the one-time genius, has managed to link all those topics into one thought. Garfield doesn't have to decide on which topic to choose, after all. He can just combine all three!
After a couple of minutes more, topic selection was finally settled. Garfield will write about the practicality of fish lasagna as cat food.
Garfield is just so delighted with this new turn of events. He almost kissed Nermal out of appreciation. Almost.
