Ear Worm... or Ants

Made by: Professor Saber


Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip essentially replicates the Ear Worm trope, using a song from the Garfield and Friends segment "The Picnic Panic" (previously explored on Square Root of Minus Garfield in 1241: The Picnic Panic); Jon started with the opening line, Garfield carried most of what was depicted within this strip, and Odie delivered the last line depicted.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

So, I was reading the TV Tropes YMMV page for Garfield and Friends when I saw the opening line of the ant song. Despite not hearing it in about fifteen years, the song was stuck in my head for the rest of the day. For that reason, I am NOT going to look for it on YouTube!

And yes, Garfield talks here.

Original strip: 1994-12-04.
