Strip by: Redgreen

SFX: bat {Garfield softly bats a ball of yarn as Odie watches}
SFX: bat {Odie hits the ball harder than Garfield did}
Garfield {to Odie, now tangled in yarn from the ball he untangled}: You had to provoke it

The author writes:

If "Unprovoked"* changed the word "provoke" in its base strip, then "Re-provoked" would cut its dialogue and paste it onto a similar strip. The closest strip I could find was also the one that gave me the idea, which was coincidentally published the day I made "Consistency" as a response to the SRoMG strip published that same day.**

* Not to be confused with "Unprovoked", manyhills' immediate response to a response to SRoMG #2858.

** Ironically, I submitted both "Consistency" and this strip a day later because I made them shortly before I went to sleep.
