Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original strip, Garfield registered this level of surprise at seeing Snoopy, of Charles Schulz's Peanuts fame. Here, the image on Jon's shirt is of Twilight Sparkle, one of the main characters of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Wearing such a shirt would mark Jon as a "brony" (i.e., a fan of the show, though some people have a more restrictive definition), for better or for worse... and often, unfortunately, worse, in the eyes of many people who will assume things about him (generally to do with sexuality) and not be persuaded otherwise by facts.

Oddly, the title calls attention to the sound effect, present in the original comic, rather than the changed content.
