Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original Garfield strip, Jon asked Garfield if he found his list of ways to keep the house cleaner. Garfield told Jon that he did, and he also told him that he wiped his feet on it. Garfield seemed to be smiling in the third panel.

Thus Here, Garfield and Jon are discussing ways in which they might retain the services of the cleaning lady. Garfield tells Jon to increase her wages. Garfield's expression doesn't change. This is another "house cleaning" gag.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Having submitted an earlier modification of this strip it then occured to me that "ways to keep the house cleaner" is ambiguous.

Thus here Jon and Garfield are discussing ways in which they might retain the services of the cleaning lady.

Original strip: 2014-01-07.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Jon: Did you see my list of ways to keep the house cleaner?
Garfield: Yes, I did, Jon.
Garfield: Try increasing her wages.
