Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original, Jon's words were prompted by Liz saying "Guess what?" After Jon's initial guess, she asked, "Excuse me?" After the second batch, Liz turned to Garfield, who merely thought that Jon's not good at guessing. This edit removes Liz, her speech, and Garfield's thought.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

I was struck by the urge to do this the instant I saw the original strip (which published the same day I'm submitting this, for those who want to measure the size of the slush pile). I thought about changing Garfield's line in the last panel, but ultimately I think removing it altogether gives a better result.

Original strip: 2023-09-29.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Jon: Twenty-three!
Jon: Loose-leaf paper! Green! Cleveland!
{Garfield, who has until now been staring impassively into space, tilts his head ever so slightly upward}
Jon: Elephant!
