Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original strip, Jon, with a tartan jacket, holding a novelty flower, leans forward, smiling at Garfield. Garfield started to extend his claws, and Jon leans back with the clawing paws. Jon left and Garfield wants the viewer to say "détente".

Here, the strip turns the other way around. Jon now leans back at Garfield's clawing paws, and Jon shows Garfield a squirting flower.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

A strip that somehow still makes sense the other way around. I don't even understand "detente"'s usage here.

Original strip: 2003-04-12.

Transcript[edit | edit source]
