Strip by: LochlannDS

{Jon's phone pings with a notification}
Phone text: I had heard good things about this place, but...
{Jon starts scrolling down}
Phone text: The food was dry.
Phone text: The presentation left something to be desired.
Phone text: The service was slow.
Phone text: And the waiter was unattentive and oat fish.
{Jon pauses upon reading "oat fish"}
{Cut to Garfield typing on his phone next to his empty food bowl}
Jon: OATFISH?!
Garfield {typing}: Also touchy.

The author writes:

when I read today's comic (at the time of creation and submission) my "just woke up half an hour ago" brain, having never heard of the word oafish before, repeatedly autocorrected it to "oat fish"; when I realised that's NOT what the comic says, I just found it funny enough to turn it into a strip and show the public how much of a doofus I am
