Strip by: MichaelSar

Jon: You know that nagging feeling, Garfield?
Jon: Like when you can't remember if you did something or not?
Jon: I wonder if I forgot to close the door.
{He did, as evidenced by the various animals that are standing in their kitchen}
Garfield: I don't know. Let's ask the goat.
