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.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Pingu.
Opus.

Original strip: 1996-01-13.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Garfield: Yep, I've eaten a lot of penguins in my time.
Nermal: Really?
Garfield: Went to the South Pole once and ate Pingu.
Nermal: Wow!
Garfield: Went to Bloom County and ate Opus, too.
Nermal: Hey! Wait a minute!
