238: Continuity: Positive
| Continuity: Positive |

Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original strip, Garfield simply let the mouse pass by because "he knew the password." In this edit, the gag is changed to Garfield getting revenge for what happened in an earlier strip.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
Garfield is, for the most part, continuity-neutral, each strip self-contained and maintaining the status quo. Sometimes it lapses into "positive" continuity (like a themed week of strips, or Liz becoming Jon's girlfriend) and sometimes into "negative" continuity (Garfield destroys something that comes back without explanation next strip, the ever-shifting colour and design of recurring objects). So, what if one strip were taken to both extremes?
Positive Continuity is based upon 1993-08-19 if a strip from the previous year - 1992-10-14 - were taken into account.
Transcript[edit | edit source]
{Jon and Garfield are in the lounge room. A mouse walks by.}
Mouse: Squeak.
{The mouse disappears down a trap door that suddenly opens in the floor.}
Garfield: "Sorry, that was last week's password."
