Strip by: Kavviyenta

{Garfield and Jon, with a glass of water between them, look at each other eagerly...}
Jon: Hot pepper eating contest!
{Jon eats a Ghost Pepper}
Jon: Ghost Pepper!
{Garfield eats a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion}
Garfield: Trinidad Moruga Scorpion!
{Jon eats a Carolina Reaper}
Jon: Carolina Reaper!
{Garfield eats a Dragon's Breath}
Garfield: Dragon's Breath!
{Instead of breathing fire, despite the name, Garfield explodes}
SFX: POW!
{Garfield has been reduced to a smouldering skeleton}
Garfield: You win...
{Jon doesn't respond, as he is lying on the floor burnt to a crisp}

The author writes:

Even though Dragon's Breath is no longer the hottest pepper, I wanted to bring this out for the sake of making this a twist since I had this idea before SRoMG #4059 came out. I made Jon's foot face the other way since it doesn't make sense in #1940 as that would imply Jon is lying next to Garfield.
