Explanation[edit | edit source]

in the original 5-30, Odie seemed to have all his hair, despite having been shorn the day before. Here, he's been flesh-colored to indicate that Garfield shaved him all the way down, as implied by Jon's yell in 5-29.

What if 5-30 actually took place the day after 5-29?

Original strip: 1992-05-29 and 1992-05-30.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

{Jon runs through the house, terrified.} Jon: GIANT RAT!
{Garfield turns his head to watch him flee past him.}
Garfield: Did I mention I shaved Odie?
Caption: The next day...
{Jon is standing by The Ledge. Odie, still shorn from yesterday, is on The Ledge, but pretty much in front of Jon. Garfield is behind Odie, lying dully as he watches dutifully, per Jon's instruction, here following.}
Jon: Watch this, Garfield.
Jon: Shake, Odie!
{Odie holds up a paw. Jon shakes it.}
Jon: Isn't that great?!
{Garfield, having done his duty, loses what little interest he had.}
Garfield: Big deal. Get me a pen and I'll give you an autograph.
