Jon: I can't find Odie, do you remember seeing him today?
Garfield: I saw him earlier, but I can't remember what I did with him
{Later, in another room, Garfield is sitting by himself}
Garfield: BURP
{Garfield's eyes widen in sudden realization}
{Garfield goes to find Jon}
Garfield: I remembered what I did with Odie

The author writes:

I had some concerns about the setup, pacing, and delivery of this gag, and had a lot of potential modifications in mind during and after its creation, but a quick word with manyhills made me realize I was overlooking something incredibly obvious, and saved me a lot of further dithering. 10/10, would give a handshake if this were a baking show and I were Paul Hollywood.
