657: "Garfield Minus Garfield" Plus Garfield
"Garfield Minus Garfield" Plus Garfield |
Made by: David Safar |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
Despite not bearing the name, this strip is the fifth strip in the "Changefield" series. Due to this strip not being titled as a numbered Changefield strip, the numbering of subsequent numbered Changefield strips was thrown off; the fifth and tenth numbered Changefield strips (after which the numbering finally stopped) were numbered one less than the actual number of strips in the "Changefield" series to that point as a result.

Inspired by No. 564: Changefield #4: Genesis. When I saw that strip, it occurred to me that if the strip were reversed, it would make an interesting spin on the Garfield Minus Garfield premise. In this variation, Jon (who apparently has hidden psychic powers as well as hallucinations) is baffled to find that he has inadvertently manifested a real cat where previously there was only his psychosis...
Original strips: 1984-08-12, 2004-06-25.
