Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original, Garfield follows up his first yawn with "For those who just came in, here's what you missed." This is, of course, followed by another yawn.

This version instead references the famous CW series Supernatural, which concerns two brothers who repeatedly tangle with paranormal entities. In its earlier seasons, the series would occasionally have extended recap sequences preceded by a title card reading "The Road So Far", as shown here. (The title refers to the song used during said sequences - "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas.) Both these and the regular recap sequences would subsequently conclude with another card reading "Now". Finally, it should be noted that Supernatural's title card changes every season -- the red "Garfield" card here most closely resembles the one used in the fourth season.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Why hasn't someone other than me done a strip referencing Supernatural yet?

Original strip: 2000-03-04.

"The Road So Far" and "Now" screenshots from Supernatural Season 3 and 2, respectively.
