Explanation[edit | edit source]

The author didn't do this for the pun of it, but he did it. The author was gonna have Garfield turn his eyes toward the talking straw but he ultimately decided to make it funnier if he just left it as is. It makes sense too if a donut can talk but why not the straw?

In the original Garfield strip, the spider was gonna hop on Garfield's neck and suck out all of Garfield's bodily fluids but ended up getting swatted with a newspaper which made the spider's straw crimp.

Here, the straw talks instead which says that the spider has been crimped.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

I swear I didn't just do this for the pun of it.

...Okay, maybe I did.

I was going to have him turn his eyes toward the suddenly "talking" straw, but ultimately decided it would be funnier (not to mention less effort) if I just left it as is. It almost makes a sort of sense, too; if a donut can talk (and apparently grant wishes), why not a straw?

Original strip: 2001-03-23.
