Explanation[edit | edit source]

This edit cuts the original Sunday strip down to four panels. The cut content includes the part where Garfield gets out his rubber arms, and indeed, the specific reason the thermostat is involved.

While depriving us of the first bit of information, the author suggests that Garfield is not a cat, but an orangutan, a species of great ape known for its long arms relative to the rest of its body.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Does Garfield detail the adventures of Jon Arbuckle and his pet orangutan?

IT CERTAINLY SEEMS SO.

Original strip from 2001-11-11.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

{Jon stands lazily at the counter with a cup of coffee. A long pair of orange arms, reaching up into the air, waddle slowly past him.}
Jon: Get away from that thermostat!
