Jon

Made by: Michael Stangeland

Explanation

In this comic, Garfield apparently speaks aloud, while Jon's first bit of dialogue (but not his second, curiously enough) is encased in a thought balloon. Also, Jon is introduced with his species rather than his vocation.

The author writes:

Another variation on the Jon and Garfield switch places idea that others have used. This time, they stay put, but their lines get switched around, which kind of switches their positions in the comic around too.

Chances are good I'll seek out other strips to do the same thing to.

Original strip from 1978-06-19.
