Explanation[edit | edit source]

This comic criticizes the proliferation of the Linguistics with Liz gag. Here, Liz's infamous line is presented as a line of five poop emojis, and Jon states that he'll never understand memes. Garfield's line unsurprisingly references the pudding pops gag.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

This strip is starting to become a meme.

Don't let this become a meme.

Original strip: 2017-11-17.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

{Liz approaches Jon and Garfield}
Liz: Jon?
Jon: Yes?
Liz: [row of five poop emojis]
{Jon stares on in solace}
{Liz has left}
Jon: I will never understand memes
Garfield: I wonder if they still make frozen pudding pops

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • This strip's transcript was altered between submission and publication, as called out by this strip's author in a topic on the Irregular Webcomic! forums; the author intended for both Liz and Garfield's lines to read "{high quality humor}", and the line "{Jon stares on in solace}" intended to link to the OneyPlays video it was meant to reference.
  • A later site recoding effort resulted in the sequence of five emojis being hit by mojibake errors; as emojis now seem to be mostly unsupported as of this writing (5301: Gౡrfiⵥld and 5302: Garfward Jonbles would go on to expose that issue), the line was rewritten to provide a description of the row instead.
    • The emoji in question, Poop (💩), would go on to ruin an in-universe Square Root of Minus Garfield submission in iToons #749: Emoji of the Ci--, which itself lampoons the emoji incidents #5301 and #5302 went through.
