Announcer: The following is a message from the cartoon character Garfield.

Garfield: Good morning. I didn’t want to get up today, but Jon made me. I love Saturday because I can sleep late, and I hate people who hate that I love Saturdays. But he wanted me to help him catch Louis, and I spent the whole day chasing him. He got away. Why can’t I just sit around and watch the “American Chopper” marathon on the Discovery Channel? Why can’t I have Odie rent me that movie with the boy singing to the rat? Instead I gotta chase a rat! I didn’t even get any lasagna today! I tried pretending to be a rat yesterday – did that work?

Odie: I’m sorry, Garfield.

Garfield: I’m sorry too… they don’t use you enough in the comic strip anymore. I want to gain weight. I want to watch TV. I want to sit around watching those other animals look like they’re so big but they’re not. But Jon thinks I don’t frolic too much. Do you want me to show you frolicking? Hit it, Odie.

Odie: Hit what?
Garfield: The record player.

Odie: Don’t tell me what to do just because I’m the dog.

(James Brown’s “I Feel Good” plays)
Garfield: (singing) “OW! I feel good, da da da da da da da;

I knew that I would now, da da da da da da da;

I feel good, da da da da da da da; I knew that I would, da da da da da da da;

So good – da da – so good – I got you! Dun-dun-dun – WOW!”

Odie: That wasn’t frolicking. That was looking like a fool.

Garfield: Then who was that fool that “frolicked” to beat me in the Info Beanie polls? I need recognition.

Legend: You mean me?
Garfield: Oh, no. It’s Legend the dragon. I keep telling you, you’re not a part of the comic strip because there’s no such thing as dragons.

Legend: What about komodo dragons?

Garfield: I stand corrected. But you’re still not in the comic strip. Were you the creation of Jim Davis?
Legend: No. I don’t even know who that is. Do you like my wingies?

Garfield: I never wanted to hear about anybody’s “wingies” before, whatever you mean by that.

Odie: He’s such a crank. No wonder why all I do is drool.
Garfield: I know.

Legend: Garfield, don’t be so hard on yourself just because you’re not the Info Beanie. I know you’ve had a lot of fights with Nermal, you couldn’t catch Louis, and Pookie lost his left eye, but don’t forget, you’re seen by millions of people worldwide in the funny pages and I’m stuck in gift shops.

Garfield: I would hate to live in a gift shop.

Legend: Yeah. I’m trying to get my own cartoon, but Ty’s so harsh… “You’re the Info Beanie, so you must give these people info”… does the Info Beanie really matter anymore?
Garfield: Not by a long shot.

Legend: You have it better than I do. I’m stuck in gift shops, I have to take exercise programs and eat low-carb junk, while you’re an animated cartoon who has his own movie and can lie around the house all day eating mallomars, éclairs, donuts, and especially lasagna.

Garfield: Um, I think you forgot something.

Legend: What?
Garfield: LIVE FROM BEANIE TRADE PALS, IT’S BEANIEDAY NIGHT!
