Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original strip, Garfield was the one who said that thought in the second panel. Here, the author corrected it.

This error was later officially acknowledged; the now-defunct garfield.com strip archive carried its error version until so late in its life that most surviving garfield.com-related archives of this strip are of the error version, only putting out an official corrected version not too long before the site was taken down (the Garfield wiki on Fandom carries this rare corrected version here; the timing of the emergence of the official corrected version is what suggests the error did initially make it into Garfield Out to Lunch: His 12th Book). The current main GoComics version and the secure-domain mirror of the smaller-sized former "images.ucomics.com" strips as seen here are still the error version to this day; the former GoComics "Garfield Classics" archive (discontinued on 2023-12-01) features a corrected version (archived here, albeit with the color discrepancies common to GoComics presentations.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Mouse: Would you look at that mousetrap?!
Garfield: Barbaric, isn't it.
Mouse: You said it! A nice camembert or creamy brie would be worth going after.
Mouse: But that processed American cheese is an insult to my palate!
Garfield: Precisely what I was saying.

The "corrected" part is that in the original comic Garfield says "you said it" to his own sentence. I corrected it.
