Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip continues the theme from the previous day's strip of riffing an error initially made on the GoComics rendition of the 2021-08-30 original strip (Garfield stating he was eating a green donut when the donut was initially colored pink), here recoloring the donut into a moldy shade of green and having Garfield fall sick from it in an effort to make fun of the initial error. Garfield's dialogue in the first panel was edited to state the donut was moldy.

The author's notes state that, at the time of submission, the Garfield wiki on Fandom was still featuring the error strip; the Garfield wiki on Fandom has since switched to featuring the corrected strip.

The methodology this strip uses to riff the 2021-08-30 original strip, compared to those in the previous day's compilation, may explain why it was run as its own strip and not as part of the previous day's compilation.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Not related to my above edit, but I found it interesting how the upload of this strip on the Garfield wiki has him eating a pink donut despite the original punchline revolving entirely around it being green. Where did they find this version? Is it from an alternate reality where Garfield is severely colorblind?
