Even creepier is that in Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt 2, Lyman's head jumps out of an oven to scare you. Lyman later reappeared in an episode of The Garfield Show (a successor to Garfield and Friends) in an episode called "Long Lost Lyman".

Lyman was one of the main 4 Garfield characters of the original comic strip. He was the owner of Odie and the roommate of Jon Arbuckle, and the 4 lived under one roof where most of the stories took place.
