5868: Garfield plus treat minus pill
Garfield plus treat minus pill |
![]() Made by: Amber Alex |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
Jon tries to entice Garfield with a treat, making exaggerated efforts to insist that it is definitely not one of those sneaky treats hiding a pill inside. Garfield, being the ever-skeptical cat, immediately snatches the treat without hesitation, outwitting Jon’s obvious deception. Jon, left stunned, realizes that he has been completely played.

Recent lurker, first-time submission! I figured I'd start with something basic. Pardon the slightly sloppy editing of Jon's hand, I can never get that right. This idea, simple as it is, has been festering in my head for a while and I finally put it into practice. Garfield deserves to outwit Jon on this one, that's what Jon gets for such an obvious ploy.

Jon {holding a kitty treat and a plate with another}: Oh, Garrrrfield! Would you like a treat?
Jon: {fake laughter} One that doesn't have a pill in it, of course! That would be silly!
Jon: {insincere smile} Who could imagine such a thing?!
Garfield: {snatches the treat from Jon's hand} I think I'll have this
Jon: {shocked expression}
Garfield: Heh, heh, heh
Jon: I think I've just been had
