On the Other Hand

Made by: Wibi


Explanation[edit | edit source]

A gratingly[opinion] simple edit. The sole edit in this strip, aside from the changed copyright gutter, is horizontally flipping Garfield's pose in the last panel, so that he really does hold up his other hand after he says "on the other hand."

In the author's note, the author suffers the same forgetful memory as demonstrated by Garfield in this strip, claiming their next work will be this already-submitted edit.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

I have contacted King Carl XVI Gustaf ahead of time and informed him I am too humble for the cash reward included with the Nobel Prize in Literature. My next work, for those awaiting it, shall be an edit of the Garfield strip for November 20th, 2021, wherein Garfield will hold out his right paw instead of his left after saying "However, on the other hand".

Original strip: 2021-11-20.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

This strip, along with 4657 and 4709, change the leftmost copyright gutter to include the phrase "Used only as vehicle for parody", similar to the disclaimer shown at the bottom of every Square Root of Minus Garfield page.
