6135: Garfield of Monkey Island
| Garfield of Monkey Island |
 Made by: Ilmo |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
The author of this strip uses GIMP to edit sprites of Garfield and Jon from the Japan-only NES game A Week of Garfield into the background of the Mêlée forest from the game The Secret of Monkey Island. In it, Garfield said "We're lost, aren't we?" in orange texts in 8-bit video game font, while Jon said "I'm going to scream now." in green texts in the same textfont. The dialogues were lifted from the third panel of the 2008-04-03 strip.
This was inspired by/based on author's experiences of playing The Secret of Monkey Island and got lost in the Mêlée forest pretty badly and wandered aimlessly there for a long time before finding a way out.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
Based on a true story: when I first played Secret of Monkey Island, I got lost pretty badly in the Mêlée forest and wandered aimlessly for a long time before finding my way out.
This was my first experiment with Gimp. Not half bad, if I say so myself. (Except for the weird little line under Jon's mouth, but I don't care enough to fix it.)
