Faces

Made by: Jonah Bones

Explanation

In the original, Jon looked expressionless and Garfield's face progressed in the same way as this edit until the penultimate panel. Then, Jon had a closed-mouthed smile before opening and announcing the arrival of the pizza, bringing Garfield's first-panel face back as he thinks it's about time. Here, Jon's face is the same as in the original's final panel, except for the fourth, in which his facial expression matches that of Garfield's. There is no dialogue in the entire edit, and Garfield remains skeletal in the final panel.

The author writes:

Original strip: 2013-06-09.
