689: How to Get Jon Arrested
| How to Get Jon Arrested |
 Made by: Stephen Mercer |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original, Jon merely didn't have pants on, and was wearing underwear, albeit of the Goofy Print Underwear variety. And he could, with difficulty, take Garfield's advice.
Here, well, Garfield has taken the extra step of boarding up the pet door. Additionally, Jon went outside without anything on below the waist for reasons known only to him, and now will almost certainly be caught running afoul of indecent exposure laws.
So the author's assessment is correct, but in this situation, it's partly Jon's own fault.

This trick only works on people called Jon. It's worse than what happened to him in the original strip!
