Strip by: Uminermal

{First strip}
Jon: There are some questions in life I guess I'll never know the answers to...
Jon: Like, "What's the capital of North Dakota?"
Jon: I can never get that one
Garfield: I'm (drowning) in (boredom,) a(nd he's) ha(nding me) a(nchors)
{Second strip}
Television: This is a test...
Television: This is only a test...
Television: What is the capital of North Dakota?
Garfield: T(his IS a) t(est!)
{Both strips are embedded in the shape of North Dakota}
{The shape of South Dakota is empty}

The author writes:

"What is the capital of North Dakota?" definitely could have been an actual Garfield running gag. By the way, the capital of North Dakota is Bismarck.
