Explanation[edit | edit source]

The original strip had Garfield smack Jon and made it look like Pooky did it; this remix removes Garfield and reworks the first panel so that Pooky really did smack Jon. The strip's title makes reference to the incident where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards in 2022, specifically Will Smith's fate after said incident.

Interestingly, this strip ran three days after the subsequent year's Academy Awards ceremony.

{Pooky totters off}
Jon {angry}: HEY YOU! Come back here and fight like a teddy bear!
Jon {shocked}: What am I saying?
