The author writes:
The words shown here are from the Grateful Dead song, U.S. Blues, from their studio album, From the Mars Hotel. I tried to find Garfield panels that would fit the lyrics, and I mostly did, except for the line, "give me five," for which I couldn't, so I decided to use a fan drawing instead.
