Anyone who wants to extend this to Garfield seeing Jon with the alien parasite and waking up again and again and again (a la SRoMG #493), be my guest.

Transcript

{The title panel consists of Garfield staring at a collage of panels from various strips}
{The strip proper begins with Garfield fleeing from Odie with a terrified expression on his face}
Garfield: Jon! Jon!
{Garfield and Odie run up to Jon, who is reading a newspaper}
Garfield {pointing at Odie's tongue}: Jon, that's not a tongue!
Garfield: It's an alien parasite from outer space!
Garfield: It attached itself to Odie, and sucked out his brain!
{Does Garfield genuinely believe this, or is he just messing with Jon? I think it's the latter, seeing as he looks actually terrified here}
Garfield: Jon, do you hear me?! We have to do something! Jon?!
{Jon turns to face Garfield, revealing that he has become a drooling idiot with an overly-large tongue - or, rather, an alien parasite from outer space that has attached itself to him - too}
Garfield {horrified}: YAAAAHHHHH!
{Cut to Garfield waking up in bed, screaming his head off. It was all just a dream}
Garfield: YAAAAAHHH!
{Garfield gets out of bed}
Garfield: What a horrible nightmare! I dreamed I lived with a human who...
{Garfield sees Jon, who just like in his dream has turned into a drooling idiot with an alien parasite from outer space taking up residence in his mouth}
Garfield {pointing at the now even dumber Jon}: YAAAAAHHHH!
{Cut to Garfield waking up in bed, screaming his head off}
Garfield: YAAAAAHHH!
{Don't you just hate dream-within-a-dreams?}
