Full-Panelled Garfield 2

Made by: Kavviyenta

Explanation

In the original strip, the window being open wasn't revealed until the final panel. This edit adds the open window to most of the panels except the first, thus giving away how Garfield keeps getting back inside before the punchline could reveal it. According to the author's notes, this lessens the funny factor of this strip, but makes it look like Jon is humoring Garfield.

The author writes:

Displaying the window make the strip less funny in and of itself, but it's still amusing that Jon, willingly, humors his cat's trolling behavior.

Original strip: 1980-06-22.
