Strip by: limmey comic

{Garfield is standing, bored. He is wearing a blue-pink cap and a red-yellow bowtie}
Garfield {smiling}: Ten... nine...
Garfield {grinning slightly and pointing his left paw up}: Eight... seven...
Garfield {opening his eyes wide, grinning more, and putting his left paw down}: Six... five...
Garfield {grinning even more and pointing his left paw to reader}: Four... three...
Garfield {getting excited}: Two... ONE...
{Garfield goes back to being bored. He tricked us!}

The author writes:

It's kind of interesting how removing references to a holiday can change the punchline in some way. Garfield counted down for nuthin'!
