4044: Disgusting
| Disgusting |
 Made by: autumn |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip rewords the dialogue of the mice so that charitable causes are referenced. This strip gives names to two of the mice, Rip on the left and Bob on the right; the middle mouse is unnamed.
The WWF acronym is explained in the author's notes, primarily for those who may have last heard of the wrestling promotion prior to their rebrand as World Wrestling Entertainment. The last bubble makes mention of masks for medical workers; this dialogue makes this the first of three straight days' worth of Square Root of Minus Garfield strips to make some sort of reference to the then-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in this case a safety measure intended to protect people.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
It's the World Wildlife Fund, not the World Wrestling Federation.
Original strip: 1986-04-05.
