Farther

Made by: Simon Winters

Explanation

The original strip had Odie stand close to Garfield but Garfield told him not to stand so close to him. Odie extended his tongue so it is still as close to Garfield. This edit changes it so Odie can extend his tongue even more and retreat further backwards as Garfield says "farther".

The author writes:

Original strip: 2020-08-19.
