I meant to send this in ages ago, but I saved it in a project folder for one of my other strips. The original joke was just meant to be about the difference in the way Liz and Jon were drawn between the first and second panel here, but then it sort of spiralled.
(And yes, the weirdness in the last panel was a lazy attempt to disguise my poor editing as an artistic choice, instead of being the result of my unwillingness to spend more than half an hour making this.)
The bonus strip is just this, before I drew in the creepy eyes and swirly future stuff for the last panels. I'm not sure which one is funnier? But prescient visions ending with a horrible sense that someone else might be watching you back is a better Dune reference.

Transcript[edit | edit source]
Liz: What do you see in the future for us, Jon?
{Jon's expression is blank, and his eyeballs have turned completely blue, with darker cyan pupils}
{Jon and Liz are standing in a similar position, with different clothes and slightly different physical proportions (due to this panel coming from a strip that was published later)}
{back to the initial position}
Liz: I mean after that
{Jon and Liz are sharing a kiss in the foreground of the panel, while a robotic maid (Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons) cleans the floor behind them}
{back to initial positions again}
Liz: I mean after that
{The resolution of the picture has degraded a bit. Jon is either wearing a flower suit or has become a flower, Garfield is rolling his eyes at the readers; Liz is nowhere to be seen}
Jon: AAAAA!
Garfield: Weep motley seas
{initial positions again, Liz is still completely unfazed}
Liz: I mean after that
{Jon is at Irma's cafe; the image quality continues to degrade. Garfield's pupils are red}
Irma: How's life treating you, hon?
Jon: You're my girlfriend now, Irma!
{Irma looks nonplussed, Jon smiles vacantly, the background of the panel starts to melt away, and grey objects that look like eyes swirl behind them all}
{initial positions again, Liz just looks vaguely bored by the whole thing}
Liz: I mean after that
{The blue clears from Jon's eyes; grey swirls float away from his head with a small SFX 'POP'}
Garfield {cheerfully}: Dessert!
