Explanation[edit | edit source]
The author's notes explain the key premise of this strip; the only panel to have been edited is the center-right panel (taken from 2008-04-21), switching out Garfield in favor of Grafield.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
OK. That was sort of a trick question. Even though one of the panels is from a derivative work (by yours truly), the change I made is relatively subtle. So the "strange" in all panels is genuine "Jim Davis".
You might have laughs about how dull and by-the-book Garfield is, but when one creates thousands and thousands of strips, there are bound to be some peculiar pearls here and there. Sometimes our derivative works seem very much like just another Garfield strip - from the crazier end of the spectrum.
