219: Gracefield

Gracefield

Made by: Martin Nixon

Explanation

In the original El Goonish Shive strip, the animal in the last panel was Jeremy, a cat with hedgehog spines. Here, it's Garfield, taken from a strip in which Jon asked Garfield why he didn't catch mice, and what power they had over him. (Tiny little incriminating photographs.)

The author writes:

Garfield strip: 2002-09-05 El Goonish Shive strip: 2002-05-13

In this alternate universe version of EGS, Grace's brothers are capable of transforming into lasagne.

Transcript

Tedd: Well, it was an interesting idea, but seeing as using the transformation gun on you basically gives you a new form that you can access at will, it's probably safe to say that we can't use the gun against your brothers...
Grace: ... No, we can... indirectly.
Tedd: Huh?
Grace: Tedd, of all the animals that gun can mix me with, which form is the best when it comes to combat?
Tedd: That would be his. {pointing}
Grace: Huh?
