Garfield Gets Real Page #2

---

what's going on in the comics.

Let's watch someone read the comics.

Billy Bear says, "Pizza."

"We're fishing for pizza?"

And what does Billy Bear say?

You got it, Rusty.

What a great kid.

He's one of my biggest fans.

Give me a break.

Hey, Eli.

Show us some more newspapers.

Yeah. Change the channel.

Here you go.

Whoa, back it up.

Eli, look over at the hot dogs

and zoom in.

You got it, Garfield.

That is one of the most beautiful sights

I have ever seen.

Oh, hello, little hot dogs.

Oh, yeah, that's beautiful.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Come on over.

Oh, boy.

Yummy.

The real world.

Hey.

Hey, wha...? What's going...?

Wait, wait, there must be something...

Hey, that's my bone.

Great.

Good gracious. What's going on?

Step away from the patch

in the screen, Odie.

Everybody stay away

from the patch in the screen...

...or you'll end up in the real world

with no way back, like Odie's bone.

The real world.

That's the change I need.

Prop boy.

Bring me the special tape.

Okay, let's see.

Special tape, just a second.

What's happening?

What's wrong?

You better come back.

Garfield.

Garfield.

Garfield.

I'm in the real world.

Look, I'm a real cat.

This is the real deal.

Oh, man, this is just the change

I needed.

Oh, yes.

What is that smell?

Yeah.

Get out of here, you crazy cat.

Come on, get out of here.

I know you people in the real world

can't understand what I'm saying but...

- I love you, man.

- Crazy cat.

This is great.

No more boring job at the comic,

no more slobbering dog to bug me.

I'm free to do whatever I want.

Here's to my new life.

I don't believe it. My cat, gone.

Eli, what just happened?

All right.

Everybody, listen up.

This screen separates the comic world

from the real world.

The comic world

is pressurized like an airplane.

If you get sucked into the real world,

there's no way back.

Special tape.

Are there any questions?

Get away from there.

- Didn't you just hear what I said?

- Help.

Everybody stay away from the patch.

- Got it?

- You don't need to tell me twice.

Give me that special tape.

I hope you've all learned your lesson.

I think Garfield learned his lesson.

Garfield's just getting started

on his lesson.

My bone. My bone.

My bone.

Odie? Oh, no, you don't.

You're not gonna ruin

my new life.

You can go right back

where you came from.

See you in the funny papers, Odie.

That didn't work.

There must be an easier way

of sending you back, Odie.

Where are you going, Arlene?

I'm going to join Garfield.

Oh, no, you're not.

We have a strip to do, lady.

Nermal's right.

This is where we belong. Garfield too.

He's just a little confused right now.

And if you stay, Garfield will have

one more reason to find a way back.

Oh, he'd better come back.

Well, Odie,

it looks like I'm stuck with you.

Let's find some real food to eat.

Eli, we lost them.

Don't worry,

it'll just take me a second to find them.

There we go.

Come on, Odie.

We should have found

a buffet by now.

This is the buffet, pal.

Wh...? A talking trash can.

I didn't know they had those

in the real world.

I ain't no trash can, fella.

You must not be

from this neighborhood.

I'm not from this world.

I'm Garfield the cat, you know,

from the comic strip?

Right.

And your dog friend there

must be Odie.

Hey, Odie. A fan.

Looks like Odie's

made some new friends.

Well, I'm Shecky.

Glad to meet you, Shecky.

So when do they serve dinner

around here?

How are we going to have

a funny comic strip without our star?

We need a funny cat.

Hey, hey, hey. What am I?

Chopped liver?

First, we'll change the name

of the strip to Nermal.

The hilarious adventures

of a wacky kitten.

And his slow-witted

but well-meaning sidekick, Arlene.

What do you say?

Let me at him. L'll kill him.

I'm gonna kill him.

Arlene, chill, babe.

Just trying to help.

Me and some buddies

are going to dinner and a show.

- Wanna come?

- Yeah, sure.

Just as soon as I help Odie

out of this situation.

Hey, Odie. Throw me the bone.

There's more than one way

to skin a dog.

Now, that's what I call

a calorie burner.

Here you go, Odie.

The real world is certainly more exciting

than the comic world.

Sure, whatever.

Hey, the show begins soon.

Sounds good. Lead on, Mr. Shecky.

Here we are, gentlemen.

Hey, bloody twit.

This is Waldo.

He's not as bright as he looks.

Thank you.

And this is Sheila.

Cheers, lads.

I'd want her covering my back

in any catfight.

Guys, this is Garfield and Odie.

You know, the comic strip characters?

Wink, wink.

I love you, guys.

I read you all the time.

Just mostly, I look at the pictures,

you know.

Why, thank you.

Hello, hello.

You're kind of cute, darling.

What? You want cute, lady?

L'll give you cute.

Welcome to Club Shecky.

This is where we come

for dinner and a show.

We put on a show

and people throw dinner at us.

This I gotta see.

Allow me to demonstrate.

Okay, Waldo, this course is yours.

Goody, goody.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Our first performer this evening

is none other than the man himself.

For crying out loud.

Please welcome Shecky.

Thank you. Thank you. Hey,

it's great to be back at Club Shecky.

A funny thing happened

on the way to the fence tonight...

...I was run over by a milk truck.

That's the first time

the drinks were ever on me.

Go on.

Thank you. Thank you.

For my first number...

Hey. Be quiet.

We're trying to sleep up here.

- I'd like to sing something

from my latest album.

Shut up, you stupid cat.

Get ready, here comes dinner.

It goes something like this.

You only got me when you got me

You only squeeze me

When you squeeze me

Hey, knock it off.

Shut up.

Knock it off.

Thank you. Thank you. I love you all.

Excuse me.

- Our next act will be out momentarily.

- Over here.

How did we do, Waldo?

We did great.

We got a bone

with a little turkey on it.

There's a sardine left in this can.

All kinds of good stuff.

- Okay, Garfield, it's your...

- Out of my way, amateur.

There are a couple of things

you really should know.

Shecky,

let's not keep my fans waiting.

Okay, break a leg.

Our next performer

is a comic's comic.

Please put your paws together

for Garfield.

Good evening, ladies and...

You gotta bob and weave out there,

Garfield.

A moving target is harder to hit.

Hey, I know how to handle

a rowdy crowd.

A smaller target

would be harder to hit too.

As I was saying, good ev...

I'm seriously considering retiring

from showbiz.

It's dinnertime.

Hey, you know,

I think you're kind of cute too.

What?

Oh, Garfield, really?

Oh, yeah.

Say, are you gonna finish that fish?

Touch it and l'll break your arm,

lover boy.

Just like a man.

He's truer to his stomach

than he is to me.

Well, we're home.

- See you, mates.

- Good night, guys.

- Night, Sheila.

- Night.

Got plenty of room.

You'll have to excuse the mess.

I gave the cleaning lady the week off.

Oh, and the elevator

is temporarily out of service.
