The Pipe Strip as a tarot spread.
The Pipe Strip is an opportunity to examine the introduction of chaos into our comfortable lives.
Panel one: tranquility. Jon is peacefully reading the paper. The King of Swords is secure in his powers of the written word and rationality. All is well.
Panel two: questioning. (What is a problem but a desire frustrated?) Jon wants his pipe. His tranquility is disturbed like a pebble dropping in a pond. Where is his pipe? The 5 of Cups indicates this searching, questioning.
Panel three: GARFIELD!! Chaos, revelation. Strength is the cooperation of the conscious mind with animal desires. Garfield, unrepentant id, takes on the trappings of humanity by stealing and using Jon’s pipe.
