Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip takes the original strip, replaces the middle panel with an image taken from The Garfield Show, and rewrites Garfield's last panel to imply Cartoon Network owns the glasses. Cartoon Network has been misblamed here--all they did was import the show for presentation in the United States and select other countries (such as their Boomerang network in the United Kingdom), presumably playing no actual role in the show's production; actual production was in the hands of French company Dargaud Media with supervision by Paws, Inc., and episodes first premiered on France 3 in its original French-language dub, first premiering nearly a year ahead of the United States.

I once watched The Garfield Show religiously as a kid. Not anymore. I find it pretty mediocre nowadays, but still can't bring myself to hate it.

Original strip: 1983-03-03.

{Garfield quickly tosses the glasses off}
