3728: Orange-Yellow Colorblindness
| Orange-Yellow Colorblindness |
 Made by: Nyperold |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original, Garfield said, "Oh, that's okay" in the second panel. In this edit, he questions Jon's eyesight. The title suggests that Jon has a form of colorblindness that prevents him from distinguishing between orange and yellow, the main hair colors of Garfield and Odie, respectively. Between the transcript and the author's note, the rest is explained adequately.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
The original comic was better published in black-and-white, I'm sure, where it wasn't blindingly obvious that that's Odie's paw. If you didn't have it memorized that Odie is yellow and Garfield is orange, and had a newspaper that only printed in color on Sundays, you might only realize Jon should have known if you remember seeing Odie in a Sunday comic back in September. And it'd be another 11 days after this strip's original comic before he'd show up in another Sunday comic.
But now you see them colorized, and, well...
Original strip: 1982-12-29.
