The "higher-resolution original" of the 1993-12-27 strip the author referred to presumably referred to the version that was available on garfield.com at the time this strip was created, submitted, and first ran; while garfield.com was taken down in June 2020, it has been archived on the Garfield wiki on Fandom here.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
After realizing that "Monday" anagrams to "Dynamo", I couldn't get this idea out of my head.
I like to think the implication in the last strip is that Garfield is now somehow forced to use a dynamo to generate power.
(In the higher-resolution original you can see the calendar in the second strip says "Garfuary", which is moderately interesting.)
Original strips: 1984-05-28, 1984-07-09, 1993-12-27, 1996-10-21.
