Transcript
- {I want to see something unexpected in comics. Just one strip could make up for it all.}
- [Garfield is standing on hind legs facing and looking directly at the camera. But is offcenter in the frame, about 1/3 from the left, rotated very slightly clockwise.]
- [Zoom in on Garfield, still to the left, now rotated slightly counterclockwise.]
- [Zoom in again on Garfield, now the frame clips off the left side of his face.]
- Garfield thought bubble: The world is burning.
- [Final zoom in, the frame is ripped like a page, offset, and Garfield's eyes are half closed on the right half.]
- Garfield thought bubble: Run.
- {Jim Davis, throw off your commercial shackles. Challenge us. Go out in a blaze of Dadaist glory. There is still time.
