Explanation[edit | edit source]

Taking inspiration from 2710: Anything But Johnny Test!, this strip runs two scenarios, both of them also jabs at animated television programs. The first scenario takes a shot at Teen Titans Go!, a show that has since come to define the Cartoon Network lineup (although the program would presumably never run for seven straight days on the American service, such a marathon there would presumably be broken up by the lineup of the Adult Swim block). The second scenario takes a shot at later seasons of The Simpsons, especially when they're more commonly seen than the earlier seasons that at least some fans tend to prefer.

Jon: I guess not, Mom.
Jon: But he'll learn to cope.
Garfield: {off-screen} AAAGGHH!
Garfield: {freaking out just like everybody else in the world would} 7-day Teen Titans Go! marathon?!!

Garfield: {freaking out because of course Modern Simpsons is pretty bad so I can't say I blame him}: FXX is only playing Seasons 13+ of The Simpsons?!!
