Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip turns the original Garfield strip into a reference to Twitch Plays Pokémon, an Internet experiment of questionable legality (said legality being poked fun at in iToons 802: Pearls Museum of Pokémon History); as such, the flag has been reworked to depict an Omastar, which gained notoriety during the first run of Twitch Plays Pokémon (a runthrough of Pokémon Red) dating back to its time in the mob's item storage as a Helix Fossil, ultimately leading to its status as Twitch Plays Pokémon mascot and the moniker of "Lord Helix".

My first Mouse Takeover strip. If noone gets it, they haven't watched Twitch Play Pokémon Red.

Original strip: 2011-11-19.
