Jon remains gloomy. Garfield decides to call on Dr.Liz to ask her help on Jon’s mood, and of course, to also ask her on when will be their first meeting as thesis advisor/student.
Now, Dr.Liz, ever the perceptive girl, reveals that maybe Jon was being so gloomy because Garfield did not pick him to be the thesis advisor. Dr.Liz mentioned that Jon was really excited to help out in Garfield’s academic work. Maybe he’s feeling rejected.
Garfield’s feeling guilty. He didn’t realize that Jon wanted to help this much. Garfield chose Dr.Liz because he feels she’s very qualified with his thesis topic on catfood. She’s his doctor after all, she would definitely detect what’s proper food for him. Garfield told her so.
Dr.Liz agreed to that, but she also mentioned that she’s not very familiar with the thesis steps. It’s Jon’s forte, not her.
With that, Garfield decided to have two thesis advisors for his thesis work. Dr.Liz will be in-charge for the specialized topic on cat food, while Jon will act as guide in the thesis writing process. Dr.Liz assured Garfield that having two thesis advisors, is acceptable, though not normal to most students. A student must ensure that the two advisors will work together in harmony, not fight tooth and nail for authority.
Dr. Liz then assured that she and Jon will work well together to help Garfield on his thesis.
Garfield can’t wait to tell Jon and see his nerdy excitement once again!
