After a long break we return just in time for Summer Vacation with a travel themed episode! It's Garfield in Paradise! Paradise World, to be exact. Which is definitely not Hawaii. Here's Julia's summary:"I remember watching this as a TV special, and mostly I remember that there is a volcano and that Garfield and Odie may get sacrificed? It erupts and possibly the lava is yellow? Also I think Garfield and Odie have flower anklets, like leis, but anklets. My biggest memory of this was that later at school a classmate of mine was very know-it-all about this and said that it was clear that the lava was actually just made of butter and was a special effect... because it smelled like butter... and that this was a smell-o-vision special. I still have no idea if she was serious or just completely messing with other kids."Yes, the lava was sort of yellow, and there was a flower anklet, but not on any of the animals. Also, the plot of this was way weirder and full of Wolfman Jack than either of us remembered. Turns out Geoffrey can do a pretty good Wolfman Jack impression, too…If you're having fun listening to us, please tell your friends about us!
