Sprung A Leak, Huh?

[jon is eating dinner] [garfield deflates] Jon: GARFIELD! SPEAK TO ME! [garfield doesn't speak. he deflated.]

For some reason, this strip amuses me to no end, for no reason. Especially with the (at the time of submitting — specifically mid-October 2020) recent edits on Twitter at @flatgarf where people superimpose its punchline onto other strips. I guess I'm just very easily amused by the prospect of Garfield just spontaneously deflating.

Original strip: 1993-03-24.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

{Jon is eating mashed potatoes while Garfield sits next to him}
{Garfield begins to deflate}
{Jon holds up Garfield's deflated body}
Jon {yelling}: GARFIELD! SPEAK TO ME!

Trivia[edit | edit source]

This strip's author's notes--as written by Camwoodstock (Tori was presumably uninvolved based on the editor's note)--were hit by a mojibake error in a later site recoding effort; the original author's notes unaffected by mojibake are currently lost to the public due to this.
