Permutations of Garfield

Made by: Conor

Explanation

This comic is unexplained. If you can edit this page to provide an explanation, please do!

The author writes:

There are six possible permutations of the three panels of a Garfield strip - the original panel order, and each of the five different re-orderings shown here. Predictably, this can substantially alter the tone of a gag.

Original strips: 1979-05-10, 1984-06-11, 1996-11-28, 2005-06-09, 2012-09-14.
