1838: Garfield in LA
Garfield in LA |
Made by: Lubaf |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
The city of Los Angeles, California, the second most populous one in America, is infamous for having an air pollution problem, often manifesting as smog. This comic references this - while the original strip was simply a joke about Garfield not being able to stand the outdoors, the modified version is a straighter joke at the expense of LA (though the author's note softens it a little). The newly-added quotes around the word "fresh" only cement this.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
To be fair, the air's not quite that bad in LA... usually. There's probably a large wildfire going on.
Original strip: 2014-02-06.
