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 shock humor, or as a running gag (one of their appearances included Garfield checking the calendar to discover that it was "Splut Week"). Even with Splut pies being common in the comic strip, Jon still acts surprised when they happen. Odie seems to be immune to Splut pies.
Start of splut week 1985

- In one "on the fence" strip, Garfield is attacked by a shoe making the sound "SPLUT!", but Garfield comments that that's not the sound shoes make, until he is properly splutted.
