320: The End of the Universe II: The Big Rip

Explanation[edit | edit source]
The only significant difference between this strip and the original is that each panel is larger than the one before.
In #312, the author dealt with one ultimate fate of the universe; here, the author deals with another. Here, the universe will eventually tear itself apart in its expansion.
Interesting to note: In #312, Garfield uses the prevention of the heat death of the universe as a justification for sloth, while in this one, as in the original, Garfield takes the possibility that the universe is expanding as an excuse to indulge in gluttony.

It seems Garfield forgot to take into account that donuts are expanding too. Or maybe he tries to forget that he is about to be ripped apart...
