Garfield in the Rough

When Garfield briefly fantasizes about a trip to Hawaii, he imagines a volcano erupting and a beautiful islander asking for help in saving her tribe. This would later be used as part of the plot of a subsequent special Garfield in Paradise (1986).

The paper with the warning about the escaped panther turns black before the fire burns it, not after.

The original TV broadcast included more singing from Garfield during his fantasy vacation scenes. After "Hawaii might be nice," he originally sang a couple of bars of "The Hukilau Song" before saying "Boy, this is the life." Similarly, he originally danced and sang a few bars of "La Cucaracha" before seeing the "beautiful señorita" cat (and ruining her brother's hat). Both of these clips have been abridged on home video releases.
