Strip by: Redgreen

{This comic is meant to be read from top to bottom, like a yonkoma manga strip, though since this strip has three panels instead of four, it would probably be a sankoma}
{Jon and Garfield are driving down a one-way road in the car}
{Jon notices Garfield is sticking his head out the window with his eyes closed, and does that too}
{A Japanese stop sign strikes his face}
SFX: スマック！

The author writes:

I read Cdudeiscool's take on "Japanfield" and thought that it was bizarre that it was a bottom-to-top comic. The Japanese don't read vertical strips that way, usually unless they backtrack them! I made* a properly-structured Japanese-style Garfield comic strip so that I could relieve myself of my wrong-reading-order stress.

*Really, all I did was swap the first and last panels, but still.

Original strip: 1990-12-10.
