{Garfield is staring at Jon's laptop and then starts typing a message on it}
Text: Dear Jon, Life here with you has become unbearable.
SFX: Tic tic tic
Text: I can't stand it in this house another day, so I am running away to join the French Foreign Legion.
SFX: Tikka tikka tic tic tic
Text: Please don't try to find me. Just know that this is what I want, and that it's the best thing for both of us. Goodbye.
SFX: Tikkity tikkity tic tic tic
{Garfield then prints out the letter...}
SFX: Print print print print
{...and then walks to the right with it. Later, Jon comes upon the letter, placed in the fishbowl, which is now minus one fish. However, Jon has a good suspicion as to why the fish is gone}
Jon: GARFIELD!!

The author writes:

If Garfield wanted Jon to think that the fish ran away, he really shouldn't have left the tartar sauce and lemon by the fishbowl.

But then again, considering how often Garfield has eaten Jon's pet fish, maybe the letter still wouldn't have fooled him.
