Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip pokes fun at the "Garfield in 2053" approach by designing a Jon-themed variation; it takes the original Garfield strip, a strip where Jon is set up with the same pose across all three panels much like Garfield in 2013-01-17 (one day short of exactly five years earlier than the original Garfield strip used in this strip), and essentially gives it the "Garfield in 2053" treatment by turning the third panel into a clone of the first as far as visuals are concerned and retaining Jon's dialogue (but not Garfield's) from the original third panel.

Unfortunately, year 2053 came way faster than we thought it would.

Original strip: 2018-01-16.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Jon {impassively}: Garfield...
Jon {stoically}: I know it's cold today, but...
Jon {stone-facedly}: What if someone else wants hot chocolate?
