Explanation[edit | edit source]
The strip takes place inside the CGA version of The Perilous Pit from Commander Keen 4, where Garfield is bouncing on a pogo stick in the cavern while Jon stands on a nearby cliff.
Jon warns Garfield, “This is not the place to pogo. You’re gonna die here.” In the next panel, Garfield has pogoed himself up the caverns, only to be struck down by a mushroom. His body is left flattened on the ground, and the screen displays game prompts: You didn’t make it, Try Again, and Exit to Shadowlands.
The author mentions that this comic is based on an obscure screensaver and gameplay footage, with a nod to some NSFW language in linked.
