308: Window Blind Story
| Window Blind Story |

Explanation[edit | edit source]
Explained fairly well in the author's comments, but it's worth noting that the panels used suffer from a lack of saturation compared to the original comics' vivid colors. It's unclear whether this was done on purpose by the author, or if they acquired the panels from a different source.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
In honour of Qvaak's story-centric Garfield, I took one of the crazier Garfield stories and assembled them together minus the last panels (and the Sunday strip). I was originally going to move the 9th strip to the next-to-last panel, so the authorities would be there to help them get out, but realised that the flow of direction in the 11th strip worked better on the whole. Besides, the police fit above the fireman better.
