Strip by: D.L. SchizoAuthoress

Garfield: {Garfield is lying flat on his back, asleep}
Jon: Garfield, why don't you get up and do something?!
Garfield: {Garfield leaps up, making a horrific, bug-eyed face}
Jon: YAAHH!
Garfield: {Garfield is lying flat on his back, asleep}
Jon: Okay, Garfield! Stay calm!
Jon: I have things to do!
Jon: YAAAAH!
Jon: AAAAHHH!
Jon: I have places to go!
Jon: YAAAH!
Jon: YAAAAAHHH!
Jon: Killer moths!
Jon: So that's what having a life feels like.
Garfield: Never hurts to practice.

The author writes:

For my previous submission #369, I basically pushed the limit on the number of times I could use the sound effect panels to tell a story. The narrative was pretty loose.

When it comes to using panels from the dailies, I decided to make the YAAAHH! work for the stories I want to tell, rather than the other way around.

Punchline comes from this strip: 2001-01-09, with padding from: 1998-09-11; 1996-11-06; 2002-10-15; 2002-10-16; 1993-09-10; 2002-02-14.
