Garfield: Gar
Garfield: fi...
Garfield: eld! ®
{Once again, Odie is on the edge of the table, thinking. He really misses Lyman, but is trying to suck it up because he wants to be a big, brave adult dog, not a blubbering little puppy. He thinks if he acts happy on the outside, maybe eventually he'll be happy again on the inside}
Odie: Come on, Odie, try to cheer up. Lyman may be gone, but you have Jon and Garfield now. You've got to be strong. Big dogs don't cr—
{Garfield sneaks up suddenly and punts Odie off the table}
SFX: KICK!
Odie: HEY!! Ugh, not again!
{After Odie crashes onto the floor, Garfield stares down at him}
Garfield: Ooo... I bet that hurt
Odie {down below}: Seriously? After all these years he decides to come to his senses?
{Garfield exits stage left}
Odie: After all these years, he finally realizes that being kicked off the table hurts like heck?
Odie: Well, it's about time!! Maybe this will be the day he starts being nicer to me... {notices Garfield is returning with a huge pot of daisies} Hey, what's he doing with that flowerpot???
{Garfield drops the flowerpot directly onto Odie's head, staining his yellow fur with dirt, petals... and blood}
Garfield {cheerfully "calling out" to Odie}: Get well soon!
Odie: AGH!!!! I've got glass shards stuck in my eyes and in my nose and in my face! Oh, where's Lyman when you need him?! WAAAHH!

The author writes:

Okay, I think this is getting too realistic and too disturbing. I think I'm gonna stop doing these "Odie's Mind" strips. If other users want to continue this series, though, I support you. Actually, never mind that, I encourage you to.

Run, little Odie. Run and find Lyman, boy. I'll pay for your plane ticket. ;)
