Strip by: Nyperold

{Garfield approaches a mousehole. A mouse within pushes out a wedge of Swiss cheese. Garfield walks away with it}
Garfield: My cut

The author writes:

Garfield's explanation of the cheese as "rent" bothers me. That cheese was probably bought by Jon in the first place. If you lived in an apartment, and stole the landlord's money, would he accept a partial repayment of it as "rent"? I prefer my explanation, especially as only Garfield would want to consume it anyway after it's had contact with mice.
