As part of a long long list of things that nobody anywhere cares about. I don’t think I’ve read any Garfield comics past 1996. I consider the early 80s though the mid 90s the “classic” comics anyways.

You have religious documents (Constitution, Declaration of independence), revered holy figures (founding fathers), a martyr who dies for the sins of the religion (Abraham Lincoln), prayers that are constantly played during ceremonies (Pledge of Allegiance, national anthem) and debate about the interpretation of the holy documents
