Explanation[edit | edit source]
This edit swaps the second and third panels. In the original, the punchline is that Garfield is still willing to get his picture taken regardless of what the reporter calls it; here, the focus is on Garfield objecting to the reporter characterizing his plight as a "human interest story" rather than the cheap sensationalism he feels it to be.

I noticed it was panelled wrong when I first saw this.
Original strip: 1996-01-24.
