{Jon is angrily holding up his own face, which is missing the rest of his body and has chew-marks around the edges}
Jon: Okay, who ate me?
{Odie, Lyman, and Garfield are sitting in a row. Odie and Lyman look unimpressed, and also have several large bite marks taken out of them. Garfield is wide-eyed and grinning in a manner which shows off a lot of teeth}
{Close-up of Garfield and this expression, with eyes now turned towards the reader}
Jon {off-panel}: Garfield!!
Garfield: The guy's some kind of meat!

The author writes:

...yes. I don't know what else to say about this one; usually my humour's more absurd and less grotesque, but today - I don't know, something about how well the expression fits the new dialogue, without needing any editing at all, and implies a completely different set of thoughts and emotions? I like how this one turned out. I could have sworn it had already been done, but a strip search turned up nothing, so... maybe on another website.

Original strip: 1981-01-03.
