54: Censored Garfield
| Censored Garfield |
 Made by: David Morgan-Mar |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
The original strip had no censor bars. Without looking, what do you think was under there? ...Really? You think it'd get published on the comics page like that? Well, the real answers are "had", "mad crush", and "nose", so get your mind out of the gutter.
This strip serves to illustrate just what entirely needless censoring can do. You see the censor bar, and assume that there must have been something worth censoring, so your mind fills in the blanks. Just seeing the original strip, however, many people would never think of those things. (Of course, the author did, or this strip would not have been made.)

Original strip from 2001-09-22.
