It's neat how, in the first panel, it looks like someone threw the turkey onto the table.

Hello fellow Garfield fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Garfield is an American comic strip created by Jim Davis. Originally published locally as Jon in 1976, then in nationwide syndication from 1978 as Garfield, it chronicles the life of the title character Garfield the cat, his human owner Jon Arbuckle, and Odie the dog. As of 2013, it was syndicated in roughly 2,580 newspapers and journals and held the Guinness World Record for being the world's most widely syndicated comic strip...

What is it supposed to be if not that?
I interpreted it as the turkey being static on the table until Garfield started to pull on the tablecloth. In my interpretation the lines are supposed to indicate the beginning of movement, but since the turkey started at the edge, it looked like it was thrown there. No, I don't know why Jon would be sitting idle at a table with a cooked turkey.
One wouldn't usually throw a turkey in that manner (at least not the people who have served me turkey) but I admit that would probably be no less odd.
