Strip by: Jacob Huller

Jon {at computer}: I'm a background designer for Garfield Gets Real, Garfield!
Jon: And... done!
Caption: That night...
{Odie goes up to computer}
Caption: SEARCH: "Jon cursing fan-comic"
{Odie clicks}
{Screenshot of the fan-comic in question, with cursing censored out}
{Odie clicks again}
Computer: "Image added to scene"
{Garfield sits in front of television}
TV: And now back to... Garfield Gets Real!
{Screenshot of scene where fan-comic was added}
{Garfield is wide-eyed in surprise}
Jon: What are you watching?
Garfield: The end of your career.

The author writes:
