I thought I'd mix things up on this Month of No Sundays strip a bit by engaging in a game: Which of these abridged strips is different from the others, and in how many ways? (Answers below. Select with mouse to see.)
The second strip is different in at 6 least ways by my count:
- It's the only strip that uses 2 panels, rather than 3.
- It's the only strip that uses a "throwaway" panel.
- It's the only strip that lacks dialogue.
- It's the only strip with the mouse.
- It's the only strip without "distributed by Universal Uclick" in the gutters.
- It's the only strip which is presented here unaltered (the first strip replaces "he" with "Jon", the third strip replaces Garfield and Odie from a later panel, and the fourth strip, and the fair clue of this difference, "Liz" is added poorly, all in the first panel.)

{The computer falls asleep}
Strip 4:
