The first two lines of this strip consist of an erroneous presentation of the 2011-11-30 strip and a version that the author themselves corrected. The former garfield.com archive had a corrected version (preserved on the Garfield wiki on Fandom here); the version on the secure-domain mirror on what was once the now-busted images.ucomics.com domain as well as the version on the main GoComics archive are still the error version.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
I noticed the apparent colouring error in the November 30th strip and sought to "correct" it. However then I realised that the colourist was on to something that the inker hadn't realised. After over 33 years of antics, Jon should be used to it by now. He can barely manage the energy to look at whatever wacky scheme his cat has come up with today.
