Explanation[edit | edit source]

The original strip had Garfield joining Jon in the pool or ocean or whatever this body of water is supposed to be (the punchline being that Garfield can float on the water). In this version, however, he does not do so for reasons explained in the author's note.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

While flipping through Garfield comics one day, I suddenly realised that there was a comic about swimming... a mere week before Christmas. Best I can figure is that the strip was intended for summer, but a scheduling error caused it to appear in a pack of winter themed comics. Either that or Jon's just a masochist.

Original strip: 1985-12-18.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Jon: Hey Garfield! Come on in!
Garfield: {off panel} Is Jon out of his mind? It's the middle of December!
{Jon starts to turn blue}
