Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip takes the 2010-02-28 original Garfield strip, which involved Jon making a long string of praising Liz leading into Garfield making a quip about cheese puffs, reworks the final panel and a half to delete all of Garfield's dialogue and set up a final panel reminiscent of Jon's dating life prior to going steady with Liz by implying that Liz hit Jon with a restraining order; in the final panel, Garfield is sourced from the 2010-02-08 strip, while Jon is sourced from two panels of the 2010-03-06 strip (the lower part of the body holding the paper from the second panel, the head from the third panel).

Transcript[edit | edit source]
{Jon and Garfield are sitting by The Table, Jon longingly looking into the distance and sighing}
Jon: I keep a framed picture of Liz beside my bed...
Jon {pointing to the back}: She's the screen saver on my computer, too
Jon {holding his wallet}: Plus, I carry a snapshot of her in my wallet
Jon {holding his cellphone}: And I put her picture on my cell phone
Jon {hands down, holding nothing}: I guess I just can't get enough of her
Jon {holding a piece of paper}: Which probably explains this restraining order
{Garfield looks at the viewer}
