Strip by: Willess12

{Garfield is smiling, because it's impressions week and he gets to goof off and take full advantage of being in a comic strip}
Garfield: Impressions
{Garfield holds up his finger, excited about this one. Is it a fun one to do, or is it fun because of the reference it makes?}
Garfield: Cat on a hot tin roof!
{Garfield is now bouncing on tiptoe, as if he's standing on a hot tin roof}
Garfield: OW! OH! AH! EEH!

The author writes:

For years, I thought for sure that this was a real Garfield strip. For some reason, I distinctly remember reading it years ago. I don't know whether I read a fanmade strip, or my memory simply made it up, but when I tried to look up the strip recently, using several keywords in case I didn't remember it exactly right, I was surprised to discover that there was no sign of any strip like it. I did find out that "cat on a hot tin roof" is the name of a movie, one I don't remember ever knowing about, but maybe I heard of the movie at some point and my brain turned it into a Garfield strip? Anyway, I have decided to make this strip real, as close to how I remember it as possible.

Original strips: 1979-02-12, 1990-09-13, 1990-09-17, 1990-09-18, 2003-04-28.
