Strip by: Super Nerd

{Jon is reading a newspaper. Garfield walks past with a parka}
Jon: Ha ha! You look like an inuk, Garfield
{Jon has a moment of realization}
{Garfield is crawling into the freezer}
Jon {offscreen}: Get out of the freezer!

The author writes:

Eskimo has come to be seen as offensive. Nowadays I doubt that word would be printed in the paper, so I replaced it with a less offensive synonym.

Original strip: 1990-03-21.
