The Splut Pies are flying pies, which strike Garfield in the face at random instances, making the sound "splut" on impact. Spluts are used for slapstick humor, or as a running gag (one of their appearances included Garfield checking the calendar to discover that it was "Splut Week"). The most common target of the splut pies is Garfield.
