Explanation[edit | edit source]

This comic inverts the "Backfield" strips - while the first two depicted a snail with slow speech but a quick initial reaction, this one shows the snail taking a while to process its thoughts, but then speaking at a normal rate.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

After seeing SRoMG 1445 and 1549, I wondered how the snail had such fast initial reactions, but spoke slowly. This comic just inverts it.

Original strip: 2005-03-14.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Garfield: Snails are slow.

{beat panel as Garfield smiles smugly}

Snail: You take that back.

{Garfield is shocked}
