Strip by: KelpTheGreat

Strip 1:
Jon: I have a date with the most beautiful woman on the planet tonight!
{beat panel}
Garfield: And which planet would that be?
Jon: I heard that!

Strip 2:
Jon: Garfield, do you know there's a mouse in the garbage?
Garfield: I think so...
Garfield {singing and dancing}: Oh, there's a mouse in the garbage and I don't caaare...
Jon: I'm glad I couldn't hear that.
Garfield: Do you know "There's a yak in the pantry"?

The author writes:

It's almost as if Jim Davis just makes up the rules of his strip to tell whatever joke he wants to tell. Either that, or Jon developed hearing loss in the eight months between these two strips.
