Strip by: Natty, Matthew Prower, MarioGarfield

Garfield: I'm having a green donut
{There is a donut on the table, but the icing is pink. It is by no stretch of the imagination green}
{Garfield pops the donut into his maw}
Garfield: Everything green is a vegetable, you know

The author writes:

This is the original version published of the comic from 2021-08-30 (you can see it on the Internet Archive).

I think it's funnier this way.

[As you can tell from the original strip link below, the comic has since been corrected. It was Natty who sent in this copy of the original version.

HOWEVER! In the interim between the erroneous strip's first publication and its revision, two SRoMG contributors sent in their own rectified strips. This is MarioGarfield's:]

The Green Donut Garfield: I'm having a green donut {Garfield eats the green donut} Garfield: Everything green is a vegetable, you know

In the original comic, Garfield says that the Donut is green even though it's pink, so I correct him by redrawing the donut the right color.

[...and this is Matthew Prower's:]

Garfield Goes Green Garfield: I'm having a green donut {Garfield eats the donut, which has green frosting on it} Garfield: Everything green is a vegetable, you know

Once again, the colorist of the GoComics prints fail us, and thanks to the purging of the Garfield site, we may never see what the official PAWS prints colored that donut

They were quick off the mark! -Ed]

Original strip: 2021-08-30.
