Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip switches out the cookie jar from the original strip for an urn carrying Jon's father's ashes, with Garfield's appearance and punchline unchanged. As such, this strip is intended to portray that Jon's father is deceased; Jon's father is heavily implied to canonically be still alive as of when this strip first ran (his most recent appearance in the original strips was the at-the-time fairly recent 2023-12-25).

Original strip: 2011-09-20.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

SFX: CRASH!

Garfield {with a full mouth}: Gravity is my friend
