Garfield: That was kind of fun

The author writes:

After rediscovering SRoMG and going on a reading binge, I was disappointed to find that no one had crossed over with the quite brilliant indie game OMORI (spoilers for the bad ending). I wasn't completely sure where I was going with this joke, but it seems to have the dark implication that whenever Odie is kicked off the table, he believes he is going to die, and every time, he has to process it just like Sunny does. (I refuse to believe that Garfield actually did push him off of a building.)

Kudos to anyone who gets the extra reference in the first panel.
