Strip by: Lubaf

Jon: The world does not revolve around you.
Garfield: {Ignores the planet revolving around him} You got that right, pal.
Garfield: Because I told the world not to.

The author writes:

I'd change the dialogue, but I think it's funnier if they both assume that since the small planet that's orbiting Garfield is always facing the viewer, that means that it is tidally-locked to the viewer (or at least, something in the viewer's direction), and thus revolves around the viewer, rather than Garfield.
