Strip by: dayaman

{Jon throws sand at a guy who is completely beneath the sand, save his head and a hand}
Jon: Go pound sand, you little twerp.
{Jon watches in horror as the guy gets up from the sand to reveal that he is not as wimpy as Jon assumed}
{now Jon is completely beneath the sand, save his feet; Garfield and Odie look at each other disapprovingly}
Garfield: No digging in the sand, he says.

The author writes:

Behold, I have turned the geeky Jon Arbuckle into a big meanie who looks down at others!

In the original strip, the guy in the sand had a girlfriend and Jon almost took her away from him. Yes, Jon Arbuckle was so desperate for a girlfriend that he would steal one from some other loser.
