Strip by: Manyhills

Jon {contentedly}: In quiet moments my mind goes to another place
Jon {contentedly}: A happy place
Garfield {full of foreboding}: Not the Polka Palace
Jon {with delight}: The Polka Palace!
{The Security Level of the Polka Palace rises to 100%. Shadow Jon is visible, holding an accordion and sporting a demented grin}

The author writes:

Video game joke, nothing to see here, move on - they can't all be experimental French literature or impenetrable and unfunny music references, you know. Inspired by (only the title of) SRoMG #4945.

I think Jon is definitely more "distorted desires" than "rebellious spirit" but in case you disagree:

{Jon tugs on his red gloves while two enemies explode in the background behind him. Text down the side of the screen reads "THE SHOW'S OVER"}
