You Can Talk: Difference between revisions

* In one printed ''[[Garfield]]'' story, Garfield and the other animals sense a huge storm approaching that will destroy the town. Garfield convinces the other animals that they need to warn their human families about this and that this is reason enough to reveal that they can talk.
