5158: Spot the Difference For Real This Time
| Spot the Difference For Real This Time |
 Made by: Riley |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
Instead of the usual gimmick of showing off two Garfield strips utilizing the same basic joke, the author has taken a panel from the 1990-07-01 strip and made nine changes to it, including adding assets from other strips, to create a "spot the difference" game.
The nine differences in the second version of the panel are:
- The word "not" is removed from Jon's dialogue balloon, making it seem like he's allowing Garfield to take the kitty treats
- A blender is glued to Jon's face
- Jon's shirt is purple
- There is static on the TV
- The light switch is flipped down
- Another flower has been added to the flowerpot in the background
- Odie's legs are sticking out from under the chair
- The fern in the foreground is half-eaten
- A mousehole has been added to the hallway

The "identical comics" premise has been done to death at this point, so I figured I'd go back to the original "spot the difference" idea.
Original strips: 1985-08-25, 1990-07-01, 2001-05-02, 2008-04-26.
Transcript[edit | edit source]
{Garfield is sitting on the recliner in front of the TV, with a box of kitty treats in front of him. There are several plants and pieces of furniture around him. Jon is walking out}
Jon: I'm leaving the room now. You are not to take the kitty treats
{The panel is shown twice, with nine differences which I will not be spoiling here}
