2170: Another Reason to Have Adblock
| Another Reason to Have Adblock |
 Made by: Crazy56U |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip takes part of a dream sequence from a Garfield and Friends episode and depicts it as a parody of the memetic "Doctors Hate Him" scam ads. The author's notes tend to cover the key details that make the strip tick.

Just to get this out of the way before someone nitpicks, the error present* is intentional. Since this is a parody of a scam ad, it would make sense why a mistake exists.
*In "Fair Exchange", Jon and Garfield have a dream where their roles are swapped; Garfield is Jon and Jon is, for some reason**, a bowtie-wearing Garfield (albeit they keep their own heads). Jon's head doesn't become Garfield's.
**Seriously , was an explanation given for why Jon-as-Garfield wore a bowtie? Was it to keep his head attached to Garfield's body? Seriously, why was he wearing a bowtie?***
***Okay, whoever just said "Because bowties are cool!", go stand in the corner.
(no strip this time; a screenshot from the Garfield and Friends episode "Fair Exchange" was used)
