Strip by: Muchacho1994

Strip 1:
Garfield {walking proudly with one arm out as if making a regal speech}: I demand respect!
{A blank panel. Just a dumb blank panel of nothingness. Stupid cat... Ugh, where'd you run off to? Garfield? Gaarfiiiiield?? Where aaaarrrrree yoooouuu?? Oh, there you are}
Garfield {walking the opposite direction and eating a cookie he is holding}: Close enough
{Yeah, I'm kind of a "lemony narrator"}
Strip 2:
{Garfield looks ticked! Let's see what's wrong with him}
Garfield {raising his right pointer finger}: I seek truth!
Jon {presenting a plate with a burger on it to Garfield}: Have a burger
{this seems to cheer Garfield up, and in the next panel, he has taken a BIG bite outta dat burger}
Garfield {chewing the burger while smiling at the same time with bun crumbs all over his chin}: But a burger will do

First of all, I'm aware that this kind of thing has been done many times before on this site.

So anyway, I saw the second strip when it first came out and thought nothing of it at first, then I noticed that it reminded me of the "I seek truth" strip that came out a few years back. I began to think about making a SRoMG strip based on that, but, being a lazy person, I kept putting it off for a couple weeks.

Then I started getting paranoid that someone else would notice the similarities between the two strips and steal my idea before I had a chance to make it. So finally I stopped being lazy and opened my GIMP and made this.

Notice any difference in the strips when you swap the dialogue? Yeah, me neither.
