It must be a challenge to draw any character in an unfamiliar way (wearing paraphernalia, contorted by surprise, etc) - but he’s a truly convincing pilot - including his eagerness in the last frame.
And seeing the unusual makes it a lot more interesting to read the strip than just seeing characters stand there delivering punch lines. (I’ve never figured out why nine out of ten Garfields are comic strips rather than radio quips - you can hardly see any difference. If you bother to read them, that is, which I don’t.)
