Zalgo Garfield 2

Made by: Rob Leigh (originally submitted anonymously)

Explanation

The sequel to no. 544 contains yet more creepiness, as a Zalgo-infected Jon (complete with black eyes, inexplicable tentacle, and blood) warns Garfield about his coming. Not much else to it than that. (Again, this strip likely precedes the creation of SRoMG, given that it was posted on another site beforehand.)

Naturally, the admin note is a jab at the influx of "Garfield [something that sounds like 'minus'] Garfield" strips that the comic was currently struggling with.

The author writes:

Original strip: 2006-01-26.

Admin note: Another along the lines of #544. Perhaps this is the result of viewing too many puns on the word "minus"...

Transcript

{Jon lurches in, with black eyes}
Jon: Gaaarfield... Gaaaaaarfield.
{Jon walks past, blood oozing from his ear and a giant black tentacle emerging from his back}
Jon: He comes!
Jon: {off-panel} Zalgo!
{Garfield's eyes and nose start bleeding and black tentacles writhe across the background, over arcane symbols...}
