I am writing this on the day Custer's Last Stand got published. I think it's honestly one of my worst strips. I decided to make a better version of it. This isn't the first time I've tried this, either. Two days after the original, I made Custer's Last Stand 2:

Garfield: I don't even want to know where this goes
SFX: KOOOOSH
SFX: POP!
SFX: POW!
SFX: POP!
SFX: SSSSSS
SFX: PLIF
SFX: STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB
Jon: Garfield! Where have you been?!
Garfield: At Custer's Last Stand

Original Garfield strips: 1982-11-21, 1979-12-16, 1979-07-18, 1991-10-02.


And after that, in May, I gave it another try with Custer's Last Stand - Extended Edition:

SFX: KOOOOSH SFX: POP! SFX: POW! SFX: POP! SFX: SSSSSS SFX: PLIF SFX: STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB Jon: Garfield! Where have you been?! Garfield: At Custer's Last Stand

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The two bonus strips presented in the author's notes each have their own line of Garfield strip credits below their transcripts; the main strip's credits are those covered by the actual strip crediting system at the very bottom of the author's notes. As the original Garfield strips used in the bonus strips not also used in the main strip do not appear in the Square Root of Minus Garfield search function when searching by original strip date, those strips' date categories are not included below.

  • The above quality is primarily due to this strip debuting after the current crediting system first rolled out; had it first been published before then, this strip would have actually benefited from a quirk in the transition between crediting systems that caught all Garfield strip links in author's notes, as opposed to only within the coding corresponding to the old strip crediting system, and thus given the original Garfield strips used in the bonus strips formal strip credits.
