Strip by: FroggoFan64

{Garfield is leaning on the ledge, looking behind himself}
Garfield: I wonder what awful thing is going to happen to me today? Maybe the sky will fall. Maybe Nermal will come for a visit...
{Garfield turns his head to look forward. Then suddenly Odie appears in front of him while another Odie appears behind him. Garfield looks to the readers}
Garfield: Or worse yet, maybe Odie will bring his long lost twin brother home

The author writes:

When I saw the two Odies in the original strip, I immediately remembered how Garfield mentioned the possibility of Odie having a twin brother over forty years earlier. Maybe Jim Davis was intentionally calling back to that strip?

Original strips: 1983-02-07, 2024-11-25.
