1554: Somebody Stop Him

Explanation[edit | edit source]
The 1987-03-01 Garfield strip originally dealt with Garfield on a donut binge, then pouncing on a child's donut-shaped kiddie pool in an attempt to sate his hunger. This strip dispenses with the donut-related setup and has Garfield indiscriminately attack the kid, killing him in the process.
The grave from 1982-10-28 is thrown in at the end of the strip to make clear that Garfield had killed the kid; however, only the name on the headstone was adjusted, not the dates, implying the kid to have died at the age of four more than four and a half years prior to the kid's appearance in the original Garfield strip.
