2525: Bury My Garfield At Wounded Knee
| Bury My Garfield At Wounded Knee |
 Made by: Dr. Manny |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
This is a simple edit -- the author has simply switched the names on Odie and Gafield's food bowls, thus creating an implication that Garfield has changed his eating habits in reference to #2155, which, interestingly, appeared a year before.
The title, however, needs a bit of explaining, not really having anything to do with the strip itself. It is actually a reference to the arcade game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time; specifically, one of its levels, "Bury My Shell at Wounded Knee." This, in turn, is a reference to the non-fiction book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, which gets its title from a poem by writer Stephen Vincent Benét titled "American Names".
The author writes[edit | edit source]
Consider this a sequel to #2155.
Original strip: 1994-02-28.
