Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original, Garfield brought normal coffee. Here, he brought kopi luwak.
True kopi luwak is coffee made from coffee cherries that have been passed all the way through the digestive systems of wild civets. It is often drunk because of its novelty.
Investigations have found that standards are actually quite loose as to labelling, such that coffee made from caged civets can nevertheless be labelled "wild-sourced". Here, the coffee is entirely free of civet involvement, perhaps implying that Garfield himself was the stand-in for the civet.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
Of course, it wouldn't be true kopi luwak since a civet wasn't involved, so where did... oh, ew!
Original strip: 1988-12-18.
Transcript[edit | edit source]
{Jon is in bed, stretching}
Jon: YAWN
{Hey, that rhymed. He proceeds to the bathroom, where Garfield is standing on the sink, having already prepared a toothbrush with toothpaste for him. Any other strip, I would've guessed hemorrhoid cream or something}
Jon: Why, thank you, Garfield
{But since it was toothpaste, we proceed to the table, because what's the first thing you want to do right after brushing your teeth? Eat, of course! And, as it turns out, Odie is standing on the table with a cup of coffee, a glass of water, and a plate of eggs and... probably sausage patties... in front of him}
Jon: Odie! You fixed breakfast! How sweet
{Garfield, standing on a different table, puts Jon's purple robe on him, over his red-and-white-striped pajamas}
Jon: Thanks, Garfield. It's a bit drafty in here
{Jon is seated in his chair now. Odie brings him the paper and a pair of bunny slippers. Jon is beginning to realize something}
Jon: Uh, thank you, Odie
{Now, as Jon is reading the paper and wearing the slippers, Odie is holding a bowl of... something while Garfield pushes the television closer}
SFX: SCREEEEE
{Odie is holding two flowers while Garfield is holding a coffee pot and coffee mug. Jon's suspicions have grown to where he needs to voice them}
Jon: By the way, boys, this attention wouldn't have anything to do with Christmas coming up, would it?
Garfield: I made you a pot of civetless kopi luwak
