4956: I Candy

Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip is a compilation of two untouched original strips with a similar premise that ran a little more than four months apart. The author's note stating that the author misrembered the two strips being in the same book collection is based on the fact that the two original strips fell within different roughly-seven-month groupings that ultimately end up the groupings that end up in book collections; the 1991 strip ended up in Garfield Keeps His Chins Up: His 23rd Book which collected strips between 1991-07-08 and 1992-02-04, with the 1992 strip falling after the latter cutoff and thus appearing in Garfield Takes His Licks: His 24th Book (1992-02-05 through 1992-09-05). As the former collection is not a multiple of three (the latter collection, however, is), this gives away that the author was remembering the smaller six-month collections and not the Fat Cat Three Pack roughly-21-month collections; both of the smaller collections in question were part of Fat Cat Three Pack volume 8.

These two strips were so similar to me as a kid that for the longest time I misremembered them being in the same book collection.
Original strips: 1991-12-09, 1992-04-17.
