Reproduction of a Fictional Strip

Made by: qvaak

Explanation

This strip is unusual in that it is based on a strip within the Garfield comic, specifically the title panel. Elements of several comics are used to achieve this, but a number of differences can be seen:

• Throughout, the wall color is different
• In the first two panels, the ledge color is different.
• in the first panel, Garfield seems angrier.
• The cloud is much darker.
• The lightning bolt goes the other direction, and zig-zags more.
• In the second panel, Garfield raises his paw-finger and looks to the left of the panel.
• The idea bulb has visible filament.
• In the third panel, Jon's chair is a different color.
• Garfield is resting a paw on his belly.

But given that making the full-sized reproduction conform even further to the original fictional strip would likely not be worth it, it is faithful enough.
