Garfield Minus... Odie's Thought?

Made by: Nyperold

Explanation

Normally, Odie's thoughts are not on display, even though pretty much every animal and some trees have visible thoughts. However, in the original strip for this edit, we can read it... on a strip where we can probably figure it out, anyway. So the edit removes Odie's thought.

The author writes:

Quick, see if you can guess what Odie's thinking without looking at the original strip below! (Then go ahead and check the original strip to see if you're right. After all, if you say you guessed correctly, I have no way to verify if you're being honest.)

Also, if you know because you've seen the strip, do you think you could have guessed?

Original strip: 1980-06-15.

Jon: Garfield, you know I hate it when you poke me

{Garfield progresses to employing both index fingers to poke Jon as Jon brings his right hand into view again. As it is devoid of a mug, said container may now be in Jon's left hand, or perhaps on the floor}

Garfield: Then feed me
Jon: How would you like it if I poked you?!
