Strip by: Jason Tank

Jon {to Garfield}: I could be an action hero
{SpongeBob interstitial panel that says "Several Months Later..."}
{Jon is reading a newspaper. There is a small picture of him on the front page, in the middle of what is probably a sick dance move}
Inset of newspaper article: "LOSERMAN" SHELVED. Despite being 98% completed, the superhero movie, starring an unknown cartoonist, has been shelved as a "tax writeoff", never to be shown.
{Jon is crying silently in the foreground}
Garfield {angry}: I told you not to trust Warner Media to release it.

The author writes:

Warner started this mess. Now Netflix is shelving completed series and movies. This must stop. Also, how did I get on this soapbox? I should step off, it's quite wobbly.

Other assets: SpongeBob SquarePants interstitial, a still frame from the Garfield and Friends TV show.

Original strips: 1993-04-04, 2001-01-10, 2009-08-31.
