Explanation[edit | edit source]
The author's notes explains this strip's general premise; an older, black-and-white printing of Garfield Rounds Out: His 16th Book is depicted, which has presumably been out of print since at least June 24, 2008 when that book's colorized version debuted. The strips depicted are close to the beginning of the book, as the book in question depicts strips starting with 1987-05-18--only six days prior to the earliest strip credited--and ending with 1987-12-19.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Jon: Guess what I got at a garage sale today, Garfield?
Garfield: You got my attention.
Jon: Tah-dah!
{Garfield looks unamused}
Jon {smiling}: Isn't it great?
Garfield: That diet must've been murder, huh fella?
Garfield: I can't believe Jon actually bought that thing. What good is it?
{Garfield has an idea}
Garfield: Maw! Come quick! The cow's sick!
{The cow skull is on Odie's head}

Jon: Hey mom, guess what I got at a garage sale?
Jon: I bought one of those cow skulls like you see in the old westerns.
Garfield {snickering}: Behind you, Jon!
{Odie appears, with the cow skull still on his head}
Jon: Hang on, mom, I think I'm about to scream or something.
{Garfield has almost lost his ability to contain laughter}
Jon: Garfield, did you know everything evolves from a lower life form?
Garfield: I didn't know that
Garfield: Why of course! It all makes sense now!
Garfield {pointing to Odie and a rock}: Rocks evolved from dogs.

Jon: Garfield! What are you doing?!
Garfield: I'm unraveling your dental floss.
Jon: I hate that!
Garfield: Oh, very well. Tomorrow we'll do something you like.
Jon: Here you go Garfield!
{Jon presents Garfield with a wind-up mouse}
SFX: CRUNCH
Garfield {looking at smashed wind-up mouse}: It doesn't have much of a sense of humor, does it?

Jon: I bought you a surprise today, Garfield.
{Garfield anticipates said surprise eagerly}
Jon {smiling}: It's a sweater made especially for you!
{The sweater says "WIDE LOAD"; Garfield is now mad}

{Garfield climbs out of bed to find the blanket standing by itself}
{Garfield holds a completely firm blanket}
Garfield: I think the old blanket is due for a wash.
