2663: Jon Is Un-Funnie; or, Garfield Minus Any Respect for the Classics
| Jon Is Un-Funnie; or, Garfield Minus Any Respect for the Classics |
 Made by: Dr. Manny |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
This edit simply replaces Jon's tacky beach outfit in the original with Doug Funnie's signature outfit (a green sweater-vest with a white undershirt and khaki shorts); however, this comes at the cost of slightly ruining the joke. The overall tone is, in a way, similar to #2395; unlike that strip, however, the author is simply suggesting that Garfield check out some TV shows from past decades (for example, the aforementioned Doug) that he might have missed out on. Finally, the title contains a pun on Doug Funnie's surname.
The author writes[edit | edit source]
Garfield really needs to take a look at what the kids watched back then. He'll see that they were some pretty great shows.
Original strip: 1995-08-30.
