The same joke, repeated just under a year apart. Although there is one key difference in the execution: the lack of comeback in the 2003 strip means it can be made more poignant by assuming Garfield is in fact dead.

Original strips: 2002-06-18, 2003-06-11.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Garfield: Wait, wait, there's more.
Jon: 25, huh? To what do you attribute your longevity?
{beat}
Jon: Ah.
