Explanation[edit | edit source]

The reference to "book #16" is to the sixteenth printed Garfield strip compiliation book, Garfield Rounds Out: His 16th Book; the "free sample" refers to the brief number of pages of a book Apple Books allows free viewing of to attempt to entice potential purchasers.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Rule of thumb: if a sentence begins with "I'm not _____, but...", the rest of it can be accurately paraphrased as "...actually, yes, I absolutely am."

I was lucky enough to have the original of this strip saved on my computer, as I'd downloaded it a few years back in order to trim out the last panel for use as a reaction image. Not that I needed the luck, since it's in the free sample of book #16.

Original strip: 1987-06-02.
