Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip "corrects" a perceived mistake from 4944: Garfield plus overly accurate calendar, by shading in the last two days on the calendar so that it properly appears to depict a 31-day month. Whether the calendar in this strip can be seen as accurate by 2004 standards depends on how one perceives the calendar; as was the case in 4944, it would appear to be correct from a Monday-to-Sunday perspective but not from a Sunday-to-Saturday one (December 1 was a Wednesday in 2004).

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

After strip No. 4944 left me sorely disappointed with its claim to accuracy, but not truly being accurate, I had to take it into my own hands to make it truly accurate.

Original strip: 2004-12-01.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

This strip ran exactly a year after the strip this strip is perceived as attempting to correct.
