Strip by: Glorkafabork

Irma: Welcome, today's special is "Eggs a la Irma"
Jon: Sounds good
Irma: Be careful, breakfast is a little spicy
SFX: FOOM {Fire comes in from the right}
{Jon is scorched and annoyed, his eggs have been charred}
Jon: What did you put on those eggs, Irma?
Irma: Peruvian death peppers. Who wants milk?
{Strip pans to reveal several more burnt customers. Garfield sits at the end of the table, raising his hand while holding an empty glass}

The author writes:

24 years later, the Garfield strip is a bit more up-to-date on actual existing spicy peppers, and here I am bringing back the made-up one and making a slightly different punchline out of it.
