Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original strip, the surprise was that they were going to the farm.

Here, they're going to play Minecraft, an endeavor which Jon finds unusually exciting.

Garfield taking the opportunity to insult Jon's dating standards is unchanged.

The author mentions some of the passive mobs of Minecraft used as livestock.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Yes, cows, pigs, and chickens are all in Minecraft, and raising them as livestock is a surprisingly big part of the game.

Original strip: 1992-03-02.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Jon: I have a surprise for you, Garfield. Here's a hint...
{Jon makes wild gesticulations as he mimes flapping his chicken wings and puts his fingers either side of his head as cow horns}
Jon: MOO! MOOOOO!! OINK OINK BUCK-BUCK-BUCK-AAW!
{Garfield is shocked, but soon gets over it}
Jon: We're going to play Minecraft!
Garfield: I thought you got a date.
