Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original, Jon was actually talking to Joe's Garage about his car, with potential repairs pertaining to a motor vehicle, and Garfield leaving over the misunderstanding that it was about him. Here, Jon is talking to Liz's office about Garfield, with cat-appropriate treatments suggested.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
An alternate look at the Sunday comic with the closest medical terms that could've been running through Garfield's imagination as Jon was describing his car repairs. One wonders what the mechanical equivalent of being neutered might be.
Original strip: 1981-10-04.
