Explanation[edit | edit source]

While this is another reference to Garfield Minus Garfield, the edit does not remove Garfield the cat from the original Hark! A Vagrant! strip, instead removing 19th-century United States president James A. Garfield. (This includes the title panel, which originally said "Another Dang Garfield Cartoon".)

Also worth noting is the rather inconsistent censorship; (cat) Garfield's first line has the f-word substituted for a less offensive substitute, yet "goddamn" is left as-is.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

...Just continuing the tradition of removing Garfield from everything.
