Explanation[edit | edit source]

In this strip, Jon Arbuckle is on the phone, attempting to order a large pepperoni pizza from Mime Pizza, a fictional establishment. However, the call is abruptly cut off, leaving Jon deeply concerned. He turns to Garfield and anxiously declares, "I think there are bombs headed to our house."

Rather than reacting with alarm, Garfield remains completely unfazed, responding with a single word: "cowabummer." This phrase is a twist on "cowabunga", a term often associated with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, turning it into a darkly humorous remark about their impending doom.
