Contrast this with the Heathcliff comics, which show that rascal making a garbage smorgasbord by rolling the can like a lumberjack on a floating log, whereas in Garfield the transgression of the cat is left to the imagination of the reader.

Not really, but it was probably a mix of salad greens and chicken tenders, maybe some breadsticks and marinara. Working at Olive Garden at the time, made very little money but only had to buy groceries to entertain guests.
