This week I'm doing a Garfield comic by Jim Davis.

I've never read a Garfield comic before (Though, of course, I was familiar with the character from pop culture).  I never realized how much of a jerk Garfield was.

One thing that surprised me about this comic was the punchline.  I was expecting the ball to explode, not inflate Jon's head.  I also noticed that the text is entirely made up of onomatopoeia and none of it is in speech bubbles.  Also the text in the CLAP panel is made more interesting because of its color.

Another thing I thought was interesting was the addition of a third character in the last panel.  Having her reaction to the event really sells the punch line.
