Strip by: Lubaf

{Garfield is in bed, on a green surface we can safely assume is the generic Garfield table - although we can see what appears to be a brown edge in shot, which is a little atypical: what does this portend?}
Garfield: Jon's starting to worry me
Garfield: He's so desperate for companionship he'll talk to anybody...
{Zoom out; our expectations are confounded by the discovery that Garfield's bed is in fact atop of a chest of drawers by the table, though they both have green top surfaces, so our confusion was understandable}
Garfield: Even answering machines
Jon: My, you have a lovely beep

The author writes:

As soon as I saw SRoMG #3394, I knew what I had to do.
