Strip by: Muchacho1994

{Setting: some stupid restaurant. I don't know where it is, I don't even care, but it's obviously in Muncie. Anyway, Jon, joined by an orange figure whose identity is hidden for now by a giant green cap, is on a date with Liz. After drinking three bottles of champagne, Jon is completely hammered. As soon as the fourth bottle arrives, Jon attempts opening it in his inebriated state, but does it incorrectly, sending the cork flying.}
SFX: POW!
Jon: HA-AH-HA! WHEHEE!!!
{Liz can only look up in horror as the cork goes into orbit.}
Liz: {off panel, moaning} Oh, my God, Jon...
{Jon turns to the orange figure with the green cap.}
Jon: {with obviously slurred speech and giggling a little} Whe-whennus-uh laz'ime youhou'ad zo'uch vun. Garfield? Hehe!
{The figure has now been revealed to be none other than Garfield, who, nearly immediately, internally spouts some words of wisdom.}
Garfield: I think we need to get home, now, before the fifth bottle arrives.

The author writes:

Saw this strip. Knew what I had to do. Folks, tastefully pushing the boundaries of PG-ness, this is your Jon on champagne.
