1633: De-Wrench

Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip pokes fun at the error from the original Garfield strip by tweaking the wordplay in the third panel, implying that somebody sent a wrench through telephone lines and came out of an unseen fax machine to knock Garfield off his perch. It is unknown how such could potentially be achieved with Garfield falling the way he did; had the mechanical setup been behind the fence, Garfield would've likely fallen on the side of the fence facing the viewer.

Transcript[edit | edit source]
{Garfield is performing on the fence again. Why does he do it? It normally results in him getting hit with things.}
SFX: tappity tappity tappity
{Garfield falls off the fence}
Garfield: Okay... Who faxed the wrench?
{This proves Garfield did not slip off the fence, but instead was hit by a somehow-sent-through-the-fax wrench}
