{Garfield, wearing a cape, hanging by his forepaws from a branch next to a squirrel hole in a tree.}
{beat}
NPC Squirrel: Why don't you just let go?
Garfield: My ring of feather fall is in my other cape.
GM: It's only 1d6 falling damage.
The author writes:
In the universe the players inhabit, Garfield does not exist. That's the premise of this entire comic, after all. But other things that we know and love do, albeit modified by the absence of Garfield:
- Hairballs is a serious documentary about vector fields on the sphere.
- Breckin Meyer is known (barely) for doing voiceovers for poorly selling computer games, but gains widespread fame after his appearance in the first Futurama movie.
- Jennifer Love Hewitt is known primarily for her role in I Know What You Did Last Summer.
- Nerdy guys make YouTube videos of themselves playing the highland bagpipes instead of making frozen pudding pops.
- Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats was never made into a musical. T. S. Eliot fans never had it so good.
- The major cat-based comedy background that pervades all of Western culture is Heathcliff, despite it never being much good. The original cartoon was remade recently into a new, updated television series with a bigger budget, high-tech computerised special effects, and edgy writing. And it sucked.
- Throughout the 1980s, all the greatest Hollywood blockbusters were big-budget fly-on-the-wall docudramas.
- The Comic Irregulars exist and are making a screencap comic based on Postcard.
