Strip by: Colin Foster

Jon: {out of frame} Oh, Garfield...
{Jon, Liz and Odie come into frame; Jon is holding a small birthday cake}
Jon, Liz: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Jon: Make a wish, Garfield!
Garfield: {finger to chin} Hmmm...
{Garfield blows out the candles}
SFX: foof
SFX: Poof!
{The cake has grown absurdly tall. Jon struggles to lift it.}
Garfield: Yes!
{The cake has now grown to be large enough to be seen from space, and is still growing...}
{The cake is now big enough to be seen from near Saturn, and is still growing...}
{The cake is now big enough to be seen from a full view of the Milky Way, and is still growing...}
