Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original, Odie was burying the remote. Here, he's apparently murdered Liz and is hiding the body the only way he knows how. The author's note further elaborates on the plot, revealing that Garfield and Jon are his next victims.

With such an obvious setup, two people submitted more or less the exact same strip within hours of each other.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

In a shocking twist, Odie is revealed to be secretly a serial killer. Garfield and Jon run for the police, but don't make it. Odie is still at large.

Original strip: 2013-03-19. (The set up was too good to pass up.)

Admin note: Clearly the set up was indeed too good to pass up, since just four hours after receiving this submission, we received the following submission, from Andrew Collier.

Andrew's author comments:

Every once in a while, a new comic turns up with a parody so obvious that I think Jim Davis is baiting us...

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Jon: Odie's burying his bone.
Garfield: I have a bad feeling.
Jon: Wait I didn't give him a bone
Garfield: A really bad feeling...
