Garfield doesn't like sockpuppets

Made by: Natty

Explanation

In this strip, Jon is a ventriloquist instead of a Cartoonist, and in his hand is a puppet named Honda. Honda the Puppet is actually Jon's puppet. Garfield doesn't like sockpuppets. Garfield walks away, annoyed. Honda has been torn up. The dialogue in this edit is a paraphrase of the dialogue from the first Garfield comic, and the author's note finishes with what Honda's desire would presumably be if he were a living being and still alive after Garfield's attack.

The author writes:

"Mend me."

Original strip: 1978-06-19, 1978-09-19.

Transcript

Jon is holding a sockpuppet and talking to Garfield.
Jon: Hi, there...I'm Jon Arbuckle. I'm a ventriloquist, and this is my puppet, Honda.
Honda (actually Jon): Hi, there. I'm Honda. I'm a puppet, and this is my ventriloquist, Jon.
Jon: Our only thought is to entertain you.
