[First row]
{Garfield and Nermal are facing each other near the front door of Jon's house}
Garfield: Nermal, what brings you here?
Nermal: I thought I'd drop by for a short visit
Nermal: So, you've packed on a few pounds, haven't you?
{Garfield is walking away, there is one Nermal-shaped hole in the front door}
Garfield: My, my, my... that WAS a short visit!
[Through the Nermal-shaped hole, another panel can be seen]
{Garfield is lying on the table}
Garfield: That fat part was uncalled for

[Second row]
{Jon brought Nermal back}
Jon: Hey, look who I found on the lawn!
Garfield: That's because I PUT him there
{Garfield and Nermal are facing each other}
Jon: I'll leave you two to visit
Nermal: So, aside from the bigger belly and extra chin, what else is new?
{Garfield is walking away, there are two Nermal-shaped holes in the front door}
Jon: Garfield, do you feel a draft?
[Through the Nermal-shaped holes, another panel can be seen]
{Jon and Garfield are at Irma's}
Jon: My hands are stuck to the counter
Garfield: Some things never change

[Third row]
{Jon brought Nermal back}
Jon: Now, Garfield, Nermal came to visit you...be nice
{Garfield and Nermal are facing each other}
Nermal: Yeah... I thought fat folks were supposed to be jolly
{Garfield is walking away, there are three Nermal-shaped holes in the front door}
Garfield: Hee, hee, ha, ho, ho, ha, ho
[Through the Nermal-shaped holes, another panel can be seen]
{Jon and Garfield are at Irma's, Garfield is walking away}
Irma: That's chef Tony
Garfield: I'll be hitchhiking home now

The author writes:

This is what would be seen if Nermal was thrown through the comic strip itself, which would let us see other panels in the comic book.

At least, this is how it would be with the 33rd Garfield comic book in my country.
