Strip by: MichaelSar

Jon: I bought you a seafood lunch, Garfield
{Garfield is pleased... until Jon shows him the fish, which looks uncannily like Will Smith and is hideous}
Jon: They had a special on ugly fish
Garfield {disgusted}: Get rid of it! NOW!

The author writes:

Okay, just to be clear, I'm not trying to say that Will Smith is ugly. I do not hate Will Smith, the poor guy's been through enough already. What I am actually making fun of is DreamWorks' 2004 Finding Nemo cash-grab, Shark Tale... which is infamous for its ugly character designs. Trying to make a fish look like a human = bad idea.

Original strip: 1994-06-21.
