590: Townshend Garfield Townshend
| Townshend Garfield Townshend |
 Made by: Colin Foster |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
In this version of the pudding pops strip, Garfield is the one that replaces another figure in the middle panel (instead of vice versa, as per the norm). (The normal title format - "Garfield [blank] Garfield" - is reversed appropriately.) In this case, said figure is Pete Townshend, guitar and songwriter for the Who.
The pun Colin alludes to in the author's note refers to the fact that Townshend suffers from hearing loss and tinnitus (which, obviously, rhymes with "minus").
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
Felt like mixing the format up a little. And yes, there is a pun in here, I'm just not explaining it. Mwahahahaha.
Original strip: 2001-11-28.
