Strip by: FroggoFan64

{Garfield and Jon are staring at two plates in front of them. There are two doughnuts on Jon's plate, while Garfield's plate seemingly has nothing on it}
Garfield: Two invisible doughnuts for me
{Garfield gestures to the doughnuts on Jon's plate}
Garfield: And two visible doughnuts for you
Jon {looking rather cross}: Give me one of those
Garfield {appearing to be eating one of the "invisible doughnuts"... or nothing at all}: Now, now. Don't be greedy

The author writes:

I actually made this strip back when garfield.com was still a thing, but never got around to submitting until now. (And yes, it has been a really long time since my last submission.)

As you can see, I love a good joke reversal. Although as that transcript suggests, is Garfield still just messing with Jon, or are there now actually invisible doughnuts that he's not sharing? (Come to think of it, maybe there really were invisible doughnuts on Jon's plate in the original strip...)

Original strip: 1997-08-04.
