Explanation[edit | edit source]

The title, changed dialogue in the third panel, and author's note are all a reference to the song "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix. The parenthetical, however, builds on the previous statement to make a call forward to 1990-05-31, in which Liz's eyes "cast a spell" on Jon; Liz says it didn't work, as he's not a slug yet. "Whatever it Liz" is a pun on "Whatever it is".

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

For shame, he didn't even excuse himself to do so first. Well, whatever it Liz, that girl put a spell on him. (But he didn't turn into a slug, oddly.)

Original strip: 1989-07-01.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

{Jon dejectedly enters his home, accompanied by Garfield. He's wearing one of his more normal date outfits, the wildest aspect being the light-blue-and-bright-green diagonally-striped necktie}
Jon: I can't believe it! I'm so embarrassed!
{He sits in the chair, his head in his hands. Garfield stands by}
Jon: I can't believe I blew a chance to give Liz a good-night kiss!
{Jon puts his head between his knees and his hand on the back of his head}
Jon: I can't believe I kissed the sky!
{Garfield leans on the arm of the chair and looks reproachfully at him}
Garfield: You're supposed to kiss her and close your eyes, not close your eyes and kiss her, you dip!
