2642: Consistency
| Consistency |
 Made by: JLH |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original strip, Garfield had been locked up in an asylum after acting uncharacteristically nice; here, it's presumably because of the excess of pudding pops comics.
The author's note refers to the novel/film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which ends with the rambunctious mental hospital patient Randle McMurphy being sent in for electroshock therapy and rendered a vegetable; the narrator, Native American "Chief" Bromden, ends up smothering him with a pillow.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
This was shortly before a Native American man came in and smothered him to death.
