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?
Negative Continuity is based upon 1993-08-19 with a slightly modified panel from 1985-08-04. I admit it's more of a non sequitur, and it wouldn't be negative continuity if I intended to do a series of modified strips showing a long hospitalisation for our heroes and a rebuilding of their house, but I don't, so... tah-dah!
