Strip by: Ephreal

{Garfield is sleeping}
{A spider drops down. Garfield appraises it sleepily}
{A second spider joins the first. Garfield takes a little more notice}
{A third spider comes down. Garfield sits up}
{A fourth spider drops down. Garfield watches in interest}
{Garfield decides to try something new. Garfield lifts up a spider on the right}
{Garfield drops the spider. It collides with the others, causing the leftmost to fly out...}
{The spider falls back, colliding with the others. This causes the rightmost to fly out. Garfield is intrigued}
{The spider falls back, colliding with the others. This causes the leftmost to fly out. Garfield is still intrigued}
{The spider falls back, colliding with the others. It doesn't have enough momentum to push the rightmost spider out}
{Garfield watches carefully, hoping for something to happen}
{Garfield gets bored}
{Garfield decides it's time to make his own fun again and lifts up the rightmost spider, grinning in a self satisfied manner}

The author writes:

I saw this and thought it needed to be a little bit longer. Originally, it's implied this would happen, but it just seemed so unsatisfying to leave it implied. Especially considering that Garfield is a cat. We all know how a cat would act after seeing this play out...
