5569: Awefield
Awefield |
Made by: Simon Winters |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original, Jon told Garfield about his essential survival skills, such as how to build a fire, how to avoid poison ivy, and how to sneak out snacks during supper.
This edit simply changes it to make it look like a 9-panel comic. Now Jon tells Garfield about his essential survival skills in summer camp, like how to kill bears with a loose leaf notebook, or build a cabin with a pocket knife, where he had to fight off five masked serial killers, craft weapons from pinecones and sap, plus they taught him and his crew how to hike for a month without stopping, how to sew his own arms with just teeth and hair, how to climb a mountain with a donkey on their back, and get two cupcakes during supper. Garfield, however, doesn't seem to be impressed until the last one, as he gives each one a synonym for "boring".
