Zalgo Garfield 3

Made by: Rob Leigh

Explanation

Four years after the last installment, Zalgo strikes again -- somehow transmitting itself via email to Garfield (complete with customary arcane text, black tentacles, and bloody body horror).

Of note is that this is the first of the series to be uploaded by the author himself - the first two were submitted by an anonymous person, having found them elsewhere on the Internet. Eventually, somebody noticed that the two both had a watermark reading "evilscary", and thus the actual author was contacted.

The author writes:

Admin note: Some years ago a reader submitted two anonymous strips which they'd found in the dark recesses of the net: Zalgo Garfield and Zalgo Garfield 2. The original creator was unknown, so they were posted here under the author name "Anonymous". Until recently, when another reader noticed the watermark signature "Evilscary", and I did some detective work to track down the creator. Turns out he was delighted to have his work featured here anΔ Xigu cΔMK QaΦou... Σwk Ximzu LA ΓfGW...

ZALGO!
