Strip by: Introbulus

Jon: What a boring day.

{Garfield prepares to blow a tuba behind Jon}

The author writes:

After seeing the strip for this day, I realised that most of the panels in the three-panel-a-day comic were completely unnecessary to the joke. Seeing how brevity is the soul of wit, I’ve cut the unnecessary panels out of the strip.

I think the final result is much improved.

Original strip: 2009-08-20.

    It’s like a slow pan to the right to build the joke
