Strip by: Shane Keil

Jon {with a puppet on his hand}: Hey Garfield, meet Honda the puppet.
Jon {imitating a voice}: My voice gives me super strength!
{Garfield shreds the puppet to bits; angrily storms off}

The author writes:

The puppet's original name is Hondo, but changing one letter in the name gives us Honda. This is a reference to the popular Abridged Show, Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged, and one of its characters, Tristan Taylor. Tristan's catchphrase is "My voice gives me super strength!". Tristan in Japan was known as Hirohito Honda.
