Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original, Garfield said he'd eaten a lot of birds, and the first kind he mentioned was a penguin. Here, he said he'd eaten a lot of penguins: the first was Pingu from the Swiss stop-motion animation of the same name, and the second was Opus, a character in the comic strip Bloom County. Why this is the breaking point for Nermal's suspension of disbelief is unexplained.
