Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip takes the original Dilbert strip and switches out the soccer ball in favor of Odie from the cited Garfield strip.
The author's notes explain the premise behind the strip's title, and also reveals the presence of a Dilbert character having the same name as one from Garfield.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
Apparently, Garfield isn't the only one who likes kicking Odie. I guess all of that abuse from Garfield enabled him to be used as the ball in some demented game of football/soccer (name depends on if you are from the USA or not). Why the SPCA hasn't been called on her yet is a mystery.
The title is from the way announcers in Latin America announce a goal. If you haven't heard it like this, here's an example.
Oddly enough, Dilbert's girlfriend in the 90s was named Liz as well.
Original Dilbert strip: 1994-06-17.
Original strip: 2003-07-13.
Transcript[edit | edit source]
{Liz kicks Odie off of Dilbert's head, past the goalie, and into the football/soccer goal}
SFX: BONK
{Dilbert lies face down on the field and the goalie glares at Liz as she celebrates the goal}
Dilbert: Gee, I've scored five goals that way.
Liz: You've got a good head for this game.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
The link to the original Dilbert strip no longer works as originally intended due to the Dilbert site being restructured after that strip was dropped by its syndicate amidst its cartoonist's controversies.
