Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original, the tree hoped to be a redwood, so as to be able to support Garfield when he makes good on his "threat" to climb it. (Never mind that normal-looking trees seem to be able to support his weight just fine.) Here, the tree's thought bubble has been removed. The author thinks this would mean that Garfield looks delusional, but it's just as unclear whether Garfield expected the tree to respond in thought in the original strip, especially since Garfield did not counter-respond (e.g. "I heard that!") to the tree's thought.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

This is merely a "remove one's thought bubble" variant, only this time, it makes Garfield look delusional.
