The current Garfield image might make a decent candidate for the trope currently known as "Oh Hi There", but it's Not An Example of No Fourth Wall — that strip's Fourth Wall is actually of average solidity.

Doesn't Garfield talk (think) to the audience near constantly?

edit: did a quick google search for garfield strips. I looked at a page of them, and, by my count, Garfield either looks at or directly talks to the audience in about a quarter of them.

You have been bested by statistical research.

I'm sure you can find a better image than this, but frankly, nothing comes to mind.

"[Garfield's] Fourth Wall is actually of average solidity."

Disagree, it is exceptionally flimsy. I would compare its solidity to the suggested improvement but there aren't any. Second motion to close.
