I’m not sure if he is wishing to stop the garbage rain or if the wish for it to rain garbage was completed before the coin even made it into the wishing well.
I think you did a great job of explaining the problems with this one. There is no prior context. It’s a non-sequitur in a sea of non-squiturs. When I did the edit on this one I felt like it actually got better some people just hate snails. And for him to be referencing the giant snail made more sense than talking about the cat walking the snail.
If you look at the edited version and then the original and they both make the same level of sense then the edit was successful in showing that Heathcliff’s presence was irrelevant in the comic even though his name is on it.
As for if it’s funny or not that gets into your level of appreciation for anti-jokes, surrealist, dadaist and absurdist humor. It’s not for everyone.
First of all it’s called Garfield Minus Garfield. Second. Those were carefully selected. This is day in day out. Third, those were meant to be existential. These are meant to show the titular character is irrelevant and the comic works exactly the same most of the time. Fourth, nothing with Garfield is good. Even if he is removed. Fifth, did your mom ever acknowledge that mistakes were made?
