Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip essentially moves the action to the southern hemisphere by recoloring the bushes white (to indicate snow) and slightly rewording the first and third panels' dialogue to reflect terminology to better reflect winter scenes. The original Garfield strip first ran in July, which is summer in its native northern hemisphere but winter in the southern hemisphere; in comparison, 3004: SouthernHemispherefield was based on a December strip, near-winter in the north and near-summer in the south. To further connect the premises between #3004 and this strip, this strip was published in the northern hemisphere winter, much like how #3004 was published in the northern hemisphere summer.

An indoor pool scene was just begging for a southern hemisphere perspective...
[Individual mileage may vary based on specific locations within the southern hemisphere. Much like in the northern hemisphere six months earlier or six months later...]
