Caught in the Griddle

Made by: Catjaz63

Explanation

In this strip, Jon is preparing to flip a pancake into the air but then the pancake mix gets stuck in the air. Jon and Garfield stay silent for only three panels. Garfield holds his hand out to feel nothing. The author says he hates shadows, probably referring to the background gradients that make it harder to remove things from a panel and leave it looking nice.

The title is a pun on the phrase "caught in the middle".

The author writes:

I hate shadows.

Inspired by #1663.

Original strip: 1986-01-18.
