Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original strip, Jon took Garfield to the veterinarian clinic, which Garfield prefers to think of it as the chamber of horrors. Garfield then makes scared comments about Liz's veterinary instruments, and then screams in horror and faints when Liz shows up.

Most of this edit revolves around reversing the order of Garfield's dialogue. It also switches around Garfield and Jon's descriptors in the first panel, and completely replaces Jon and Liz's dialogue in the final panel.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

I got the idea to swap Garfield and Jon's lines in the first panel. I tried not to use the same phrase more than once, but I didn't find any good spots for Jon and Liz's dialogue in the last panel. I thought it would be funny for Liz to be sarcastic and Jon to say "ARRGH!" in the same way Garfield did.

Original strip: 1982-11-21.
