Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original strip, Jon was congratulating Garfield for sticking to his diet, while Garfield tried to confess to eating Jon's slippers. This edit reverses both the characters' placement and their dialogue, resulting in an awkward conversation where Jon is apparently proud of Garfield for eating his slippers.

Original strip from 1986-03-21.

I was editing the 1986-03-21 strip with a completely different effect in mind when it struck me how perfect it was for simply reversing the order of everything. Sure, that's been done before, but let's not let that stand in the way of The Funny. So without further ado, here is another installment in the Reversed Garfield series.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Garfield: I ate your bunny slippers.
Jon: And that takes a lot of self-discipline.
Garfield: Listen to me, Jon.
Jon: You've done a great job sticking with your diet this week.
Garfield: There's something I have to tell you.
Jon: I just want to tell you how proud I am of you.
