4587: Jon Minus Tacky Ties

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
So, I was reading the source strips for SRoMG #2226, when I came across the strip from July 10th, 1993. My first thought was that the colorists messed up - after all, the joke is that they weren't laughing at Jon's tie, they were laughing at his slippers, but they coloured his tie in the same way as a bunch of strips where Jon's tie is the point of the joke. Of course, I decided to fix it, but then I realized just how often Jon's bad fashion sense is the point of the joke, so I decided to go through and at least fix his tie collection. I decided to leave the inspiration at the very end, just to imply that Jon wore bunny slippers throughout the entire comic (I tried making them briefly visible when he runs off to conquer the world!) After all, even without a bunch of tacky ties, Jon is still a dork, and nothing can change that.
While working, I found that some of the super-big bow tie comics give Jon an excessively long neck, which doesn't quite work so well once the super-big bow tie is removed. It's like his head is floating! Also, it's surprising just how much Jon's wardrobe improves once you replace the strange patterns - plaid, stripes, etc. - with solid colors. He almost looks respectable like this! I also like how some of the comics change with this new sense of fashion - that red tie is clearly not a gag tie, after all, so why is Liz asking?
