A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A cheerful red-haired man holds a tray of food and says, "Garfield! I made your favorite - lasagna!" toward a blanket-covered bed. Panel 2: From under the blanket a voice replies, "Jon. Jon. I was born in 1978. No cat has ever lived more than 40 years. Jon, I'm gone. Long gone. You know this." Panel 3: The man, still cheerful, says, "Sounds like someone's having another terrrible Monday!" Panel 4: The blanket is pulled back to reveal a cat's skeletal skull resting on the pillow - Garfield is long dead, but Jon refuses to accept it. Votey aftercomic: handwritten text reads "I'll just put this lasagna back in the freezer for another fifteen... fifteen forever... day of them. Day! Then!" beside a small drawing of a hand giving a sad little wave, underscoring Jon's denial.
