Strip by: Lubaf

Garfield {to far away bird, while a camera is beside him}: Come closer!
Garfield {to a closer bird, who is still too far away to take a photograph of}: Closer!
Garfield {to a giant bird, now standing close enough to touch}: Uh, too close

The author writes:

As soon as I saw SRoMG #4693, I immediately knew what I needed to do: test whether the addition of a single object (a camera) changed the joke from "Garfield is hungry for bird meat" to "Garfield wants to take a photograph". Was I successful, or not? And did the accidental downgrade of the image to a 256 color GIF enhance or detract from said result?
