Garfield: Quality...
Garfield: Some characters read expiration dates
Garfield {next to Duck the Great Western Engine after his quality "expired" thanks to Mattel}: And some don't

The author writes:

Thought about taking the infamous January 17, 2013 strip and replacing Jon with the new design for Duck the Great Western Engine (one of my favorite characters from Thomas & Friends) for the upcoming fourth season of the awful reboot Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go to show how much Mattel disrespects the classic characters. The Scottish twin engines, Donald and Douglas, are also going to be ruined in this new season, I believe.

The title is also a direct reference to SRoMG #1494 "Garfield in 2053".

Original strip: 2013-01-17.
