Strip by: FroggoFan64

{Strip 1}
{Garfield looks at the page-a-day calendar on the wall, satisfied that Monday the 21st is over. He tears the previous day's page off the calendar...}
SFX: Rip
{...only to find that today's page also says that it's Monday}
Garfield {shouting skyward}: I'll be going back to bed now
{Strip 2}
{Garfield looks at the page-a-day calendar on the wall}
Garfield: Well, at least Monday's over
{But like last time, Garfield tears the previous day's page off the calendar only to find that today's page also says it's Monday}
SFX: Rip
Garfield {scurrying away from the calendar}: OH, NO! IT'S THE MONDAY THAT WOULDN'T DIE!

The author writes:

I saw the 2014-09-01 strip and it immediately reminded me of the first time Jim used this gag. For this "spot the difference", though, I thought it'd be funnier to swap Garfield's reactions around.

Original strips: 1986-07-22, 2014-09-01.
