Strip by: Theopold

{Garfield is eagerly presenting a Talking Flower from the Super Mario series}
Talking Flower: I'm the first flower of spring!
{Garfield's face stays cheerful, but there is a moment of uncomfortable silence}
Talking Flower: Now what?
{The cat's smile fades}
Garfield: I was going to ask you

A bit of a low-hanging fruit. How I made this is as follows: I downloaded a 3D model of the Talking Flower from The Model's Resource since I couldn't find a fitting 2D image, then placed three of them in Blender 3D and adjusted the poses and lighting. Then I moved to PDN, opened the comic, replaced the flower and sky with transparency, then pasted the Mario flower over the comic. I then added some dialogue boxes from the 2012-04-15 strip. Next I rearranged the dialog boxes again because Garfield's supposed to remark after the flower speaks, rather than the other way around. This was definitely too much effort for something so silly, but I'm still proud.
