"Would Jim Davis really be this unbelivably dark with Garfield?" I wish. :P But I still think that this does fit in with the "meaningful" story-arcs he used to do, and while he may not mean that Garfield's life is all in his head, he probably left the opportunity open.
But what if Garfield's entire comic strip life as we know him is the vision, and if that moment in the house is just his return to reality, that, in his attempt to make sense of his life, he sees only as a vision and goes back into the denial he was previously experiencing as he starves to death. (The years of the comic could easily take place in hours in his own mind.)
