Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original Garfield strip, the spider was gonna hop on Garfield's neck and suck out all of Garfield's bodily fluids but ended up getting swatted with a newspaper which made the spider's straw crimp.
Here, the mosquito was about to hop on Garfield's neck and suck out all of Garfield's bodily fluids but ends up getting swatted with a newspaper which made it crimp his stylet.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
The original strip is etymologically incorrect; almost no spiders feed on blood, whereas mosquitoes are famous for it. As such this strip has been edited to be more scientifically accurate. (The stylet is the piercing part of a mosquito's mouthparts; as a bonus it's very straw like.)
