"We're Bachelors, Baby" but every time they say "bachelors" it gets faster

Explanation

This comic is unexplained. If you can edit this page to provide an explanation, please do!

The author writes:

I put all of the "bachelors" comics from 2006 in one neat line, and then every time Garfield started saying "bachelors," I shortened the image by 200 pixels (about the length of one panel). The image cut off at the sixth comic.

Memes aside, here's something to think about: would this still work if the "bachelors" arc only lasted 5 days instead of 6? What if I included all the future "bachelors" strips as well? If I put every non-Sunday strip back-to-back, and shortened the entire strip by 200 pixels at the end of every individual strip, how long would it take for the dialogue to become unreadable? Would it still end at today's strip, or would it be cut off before then? If so, when would it be cut off?

I'm glad math still exists.
