Made by: Ben Kenobi


Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip takes the original Garfield strip and replaces the final panel--and its callback to the first strip--with, befitting its author's handle (the author's handle is the identity Obi-Wan Kenobi used in Star Wars: A New Hope while in hiding on Tatooine), a panel from a Darths and Droids strip featuring Chewbacca reworded with stereotypical British dialogue.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Original Darths & Droids strip: #778.

Obligatory TV Tropes link.

Original strip: 1993-06-19.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

{Jon presents a birthday cake with Fifteen candles to Garfield, shouting:}
Jon: Happy Birthday Garfield!
{Garfield calmly replies:}
Garfield: Ah yes, 'tis true I have traversed fifteen notable years within this mortal coil. This auspicious occasion calls for an appropriate acknowledgement.
{We cut to a reclining Chewie on the Mellennium Falcon who quips:}
Chewbacca: Cheerio, old chap.
