{Jon's mouth is backwards. He tosses a banana next to Garfield}
Garfield: Happy breakfast, banan. Here's aa Garfield for diet
{Jon turns away. Garfield momentarily gains bunny ears}
{Garfield holds out the banana like a gun}
Garfield and Banana: **!**

{Jon's mouth and eyes are backwards. Garfield's eyes are upside down}
Jon: As long as you're dying, Gafrie,,,, why don't you exercise, toot?
{The middle panel is rotated. Jon has a very large mouth}
Suspended, sourceless thought: WHY
{The third panel is distorted}

{Jon's mouth is doing better now, but this time it's partially upside down}
Jon {pointing with his long finger}: ???????????? Die, Garfield
Garfield {smirking}: You
{Jon opens his book and gets fumped}
{Jon's head is no longer}
Garfield {pleased}: You book

The author writes:

Cabaret Voltaire released their 5th studio album The Crackdown on August 18th 1983, featuring such upbeat spacey tracks as "Why Kill Time (When You Can Kill Yourself)". This is actually a coincidence.

Original strips: 1983-08-17, 1983-08-18, 1983-08-19.
