Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip takes the original Garfield strip, duplicates the second panel, recolors the parka in the second copy of the second panel to resemble that of the Ice Climbers' Nana (the parka in the original Garfield strip already resembled Popo's parka), and tweaks Jon's line in the last panel to refer to the Ice Climbers having been cut from the roster of the fourth installment of the Super Smash Bros. series.

The Ice Climbers being cut from the Smash 4 roster stemmed from hardware specifications; although they had been working fine on the Wii U version during development, the specifications of the Nintendo 3DS prevented the Ice Climbers from working on that platform's version of the game. As both the 3DS and Wii U versions were to have identical rosters, this ultimately led to the Ice Climbers getting cut. The Ice Climbers were never reinstated to Smash 4 via DLC; however, the fifth installment, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, returned the Ice Climbers (and indeed all previously cut characters) to the roster partly due to the fact that Ultimate's platform, the Nintendo Switch (the successor to the Nintendo 3DS platform), had hardware strong enough to properly render the Ice Climbers.

Just in case the future decides to mess with me (DLC for Smash 4 is still being made at this present time), I want to make something clear: this strip was made on August 24th, 2015 and submitted on August 25th, 2015 (19 minutes after midnight, btw).

Original strip: 2009-01-12.
