Strip by: limmey comic

{Garfield is in his bed}
Garfield: Sleeping, we do more of it than anything else in life, and know very little about it
{Garfield now proceeds to sit in his bed, moving his left paw upward}
Garfield: Welcome to the "Wonderful World of Sleep." Today we will examine fascinating sleeping positions
{Garfield gets up and goes over to Jon, who is sleeping in his bed. Jon is sucking his right thumb}
Jon: Z
Garfield: Jon here is demonstrating the classic fetal position
{Garfield goes over to Odie, who is sleeping in a chair}
Odie: Z
Garfield: Odie is in your basic armchair doily position
{Garfield is now in a room all to himself, I think}
Garfield: When you sleep as much as I do, you crave variety in your attitudes of repose
{Garfield now does the pose he did already back in the second panel}
Garfield: For your edification, I shall now attempt the world's most bizarre sleeping position!
{Garfield loses consciousness and sleeps in a bizarre position. So he wasn't kidding!}
Garfield: Z

The author writes:

The final panel really confused me. Jon and Odie were already sleeping before that!

Oh, and when I was almost done with this strip, I realized that I should've condensed this strip into three panels...

Original strip: 1985-06-23.
