Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip replaces Garfield with Banana Man, a character used in Japanese advertising for Dole bananas. The author opted to leave the original dialogue for reasons stated in the author's notes; 2697: Banana Man, Japanese Style, in Japanese would essentially realize this strip's author's original idea.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
Thought about writing this strip in Japanese, but quickly remembered I can't speak it.
Original strip: 1990-05-15.
