Strip by: Trevor

{Title card}
{Cut to perennial feckless loser Jon Arbuckle with a bowl containing a tasty dessert next to a picnic table}
Jon: Hey, guys! Check it out!
{Liz, Garfield and Odie walk in, and Panel No. 2 (not counting the title panel) also has The Creator’s signature and the original strip's date}
Jon: I really outdid myself for the cookout this year!
Jon: For this treat, I used a good amount of strawberries, with Pocky sticks and wafer bars. Then I seasoned them with sprinkles!
Jon: I gave the banana split a nice amount of drizzle with cherries on top. How sweet is THAT!
{Jon now has a puzzled expression as Liz, Garf and Odie are surprised. Here comes Epic Fail...}
Jon: But something's wrong here...
{Liz grabs a hastily, crudely-drawn banana, with a deadpan expression. Garf and Odie look at each other, knowing what to do}
Liz: Where's the chocolate?
Jon: Chocolate?
{This next panel, Liz looks at the camera and Jon screams his line. Garf and Odie have a phone, going "BIP BIP BIP"}
Jon: CHOCOLATE!
Garfield: With or without nuts?
Odie: Urf

The author writes:

I read today's comic (at time of submission) and was instantly reminded of one of SpongeBob's most iconic scenes. So I changed the foodstuffs being served, and added a little reference to Patrick's line immediately before Incidental 6 screams his famous line.
