[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[Nimbus] Yeah, I'm flying over Earth.

I decided to stock up on my favorite Earth food.

They call them marshmallows.

I got a whole cargo hold full of them!

[alarm ringing]

[computer voice] Error. You opened the storage hold.

There goes your supply of marshmallows.

[Nimbus] Oh no! I have to get them back!

[dropping sound]

[sniffing]

Good to see you again, Odie.

You wouldn't have seen something falling from the sky, would you ?

[Odie muttering]

[Odie barking]

Oh, thank you, Odie!

You deserve a reward!

This is a Forever Doggy Cookie.

It's yours.

[Odie muttering]

[crunchy sound]

Interesting cookie, is it not?

It reconstructs itself after each bite.

Thus, you never run out of cookie.

Right?

You might want to hide the cookie in that hole there.

[teleportation sound]

Farewell!

[Odie muttering]

Maybe I shouldn't have given him that cookie.

Might it not have an unpredictable effect on an Earth dog?

Nah!

[snoring]

The most unpleasant invention in the history of mankind.

The doggie-tongue alarm clock.

Go annoy Jon.

[Odie moaning]

[whining]

It says here that the longer you have pets,

the more you start to take after them.

That's a theory some doctors have.

It's not true.

Hi, Odie.

[giggling]

I'm happy to see you too, fella.

I have some literature in my car about this idea

of owners taking on the characteristics of their pets.

I'll be right back with it.

Gee, if I start acting like my pets,

I hope I take after Odie and not Garfield.

I don't think I could eat...

[Jon barking]

Odie...

Get this through that thick doggy skull of yours!

I told you to leave me alone.

[Jon moaning]

No, Jon, I will not throw the stick so you can fetch it.

[Jon moaning]

[Liz] I found the article, Jon.

It says pet owners rarely act like their animals.

[Jon barking]

Jon?

Ew!

I think he wants you to rub his belly.

Jon, this isn't funny. This is...

[Liz barking]

[doorbell]

Why do I have the feeling that whoever this is

is going to make things worse?

I have a registered letter for Mr. Ar--

Stop it, Odie! You shouldn't... [Herman barking]

For some reason, the mailman has gone out to bite mailmen.

Odie!

Somehow, I have the idea you're responsible for this.

[Odie muttering]

I have to figure out what's happening.

I'd better go to the one place where you can find out

anything you want to know about anything.

The Internet!

I'll do a search for "Silly Cartoonist acting like sillier dog."

[all barking]

[Odie muttering]

I found a chat room with people who watch this cartoon.

"Garfield doesn't know Odie slurps transmit alien dog disease lol."

So that's it!

"Garfield reading our online chat to figure out what's going on.

Away from keyboard!"

[laughing]

By the way, Odiefan99, you misspelled my name!

I before E!

If their slurps pass on this dog thing to others,

I'd better keep them all in the house.

Wonder where I can get a flea collar that fits Jon.

[grinding noise]

They got away!

[dramatic music]

I have to stop them before it's too late.

[screeching]

It's too late.

[growling]

Down, boy! You're not a dog.

You're Jon's insurance man.

[angry barking]

[dramatic music]

He was like this the time Jon filed a claim, too.

[barking]

There, there, good insurance man.

Good boy.

But I'm really too late.

[barking]

[cat screaming]

Looks like an emergency.

Maybe the governor can do something.

If I am re-elected, I promise that I will rid this city

of all the stray animals that are roaming our streets!

See how much the government employees love me.

They even lick my face!

[growling]

[barking]

You know, that's the most intelligent speech

he's given in eight years.

Look, I know you don't do this very often but think.

Did anything unusual happen to you lately?

[muttering]

Our friend from outer space came by and gave you a weird cookie?

[Odie muttering]

Earth is doomed!

Nimbus is probably a bejillion miles from here now.

I'll never be able to find him and get him to undo this.

Greetings, Garfield.

Nimbus!

I was worried about what effect that doggie treat would have on Odie

so I came to check on him.

But I see he's fine so I'll be on my way.

-[teleportation sound] -Wait!

No, wait! Don't go!

[Garfield screaming]

Let me in! Let me in!

Do you know what's going on all over our city?

Take a look.

What do you make of these reports

that a strange epidemic is turning every human being

on this planet into a dog?

[barking]

In other news,

city firemen report long lines at most hydrants.

It all started with Odie and that cookie you gave him.

I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do.

There is no antidote.

[teleportation sound]

Every person and animal on Earth will soon be a dog

once someone licks them, even you.

This is terrible.

Wait. I've been licked today by Odie

many times!

And I'm still me.

You haven't been infected?

That might mean cats are immune.

Quick! Stick out your tongue.

I need a sample of your saliva to create an antidote!

I've sampled your cat spit

and synthesized a breakdown of its molecular structure.

You folks in the chat rooms probably understand this.

[beep] [device running]

[computer voice] Antidote successfully created.

Great!

Now, we have to spray this all over

everyone who's been licked!

[computer voice] Begin spraying antidote.

[barking]

I don't know what happened.

[barking]

[common chatter]

[barking]

[common chatter]

-Did you? -I don't know. I was terrible.

[joyful music]

[common chatter]

[barking]

What? That was absolutely...

[computer voice] Antidote successful.

All humans have been decontaminated.

One more thing I must take care of.

Sorry, Odie, but you can't keep the forever doggy cookie.

It would create another contagion.

[sad moaning]

But you can have these instead.

[barking]

How does a forever doggy cookie work?

Oh, like this.

You take a bite. [crunchy sound]

And then the cookie restores itself.

Then you take another bite.

[crunchy sound]

And the cookie restores itself.

They wouldn't happen to make...

No, there is no forever kitty lasagna.

Rats!

Farewell again, my friends!

Come on, Odie. Let's go eat.

I know it's weird, guys, but...

I have this craving for Odie's dog food.

Nimbus said it might take a while to wear off with some people.

[Odie muttering]

Well, until it does,

I guess you have to walk him for a change.

[Odie muttering]

[upbeat music]
