Description

Comic Description:

The scene is a two-panel comic with a vibrant pink background.

• Panel 1: On the left, there is a cat (Garfield) with an annoyed expression, characterized by slanted eyes and a frown. Its body is round and plump. On the right, a cheerful dog (Odie) stands with a big smile and his tongue lolling out, looking exuberant. Odie's ears are floppy, and his tail is wagging happily.

• Text Box: Below the characters, the following text is displayed:

  "For years, Odie would waggle his tongue in morse code, hoping against all odds that someone would understand. They mistook his silence for idiocy, but his mind was so rich and so real, gleaming with a thousand insights from a hermit who walked among men. If only they had ears that could hear, they might have warmed their hearts by the blaze of that great soul before it was too late."

  "Everyone dies alone, but seldom had so much been forgotten so quickly."

The contrasting expressions of the characters and the reflective tone of the text create a poignant moment in the comic.
