Strip by: Muchacho1994

{Garfield sits at the fence with Arlene; their faces both wear the same tired, apathetic expression that implies they're just going through the motions at this point.}
Arlene: You're late.
Garfield: {suddenly happy and posing with his arms out like Mickey Mouse} But the important thing is I couldn't think of anything better to do!
Arlene: And you're toast! {she holds her arms in front of her in a way that kinda looks like she's about to shoot lasers out of her paws}
SFX: POW!
{Guess what happens. Stumped? Garfield is now a piece of hot buttered toast lying on the fence. Oddly, Arlene does not smile triumphantly or show any change of mood at all after successfully turning Garfield into toast. She just... sits there.}

I know this is stupid and I'm sorry. I JUST HAD TO.
