If she's nobody, then who are you? are you indeed nobody, too? are there a pair of you? should you tell? would they advertise? Isn't it dreary to be somebody? and isn't it dreary how somebodys, like frogs, like telling their names all June to an admiring bog?

37: Gadjifantolim

==Explanation==
Hugo Ball was an author, a poet, and one of the leading Dada artists. He wrote the poem "Gadji beri bimba", later adapted to the song "I Zimbra" on the 1979 Talking Heads album Fear of Music. Garfield's dialogue -- originally him deciding that it was Christmas Eve based on faulty calculations and wishful thinking -- is made up of selected lines from the poem.
==The author writes:==
"Some" of the text is originally written by Hugo Ball.

3800: SRoMG and Happiness

==Explanation==
This strip takes a Cyanide and Happiness strip that originally involved the name "Garfield" as an ending punchline and reworded the rest of it to reference Square Root of Minus Garfield itself as well as several of its running gags. The figure on the right references the infamous pudding pops and blender gags, while the figure on the left references obscure mathematics-based jokes and the very first Square Root of Minus Garfield strip.
==The author writes:==
Hey, if Cyanide and Happiness can have a strip making fun of its own recurring themes, so can SRoMG.
Original Cyanide and Happiness strip: 2007-10-24 (strong language, rude themes)
==Transcript==
{Two stick figures from Cyanide and Happiness are looking around nervously}
Guy on the left: I wonder what will happen in this SRoMG comic?
Guy on the right: I bet someone will make a tired pudding pops reference.
Guy on the left: ... or a way-too-complicated joke based on advanced mathematics!
Guy on the right: Orrrrrr a guy will get a blender glued to his face?
Guy on the left: ... or maybe the strip will be in haiku?!
(Guy on the right is holding a pie and running away)
Guy on the left: GAARRFIEELLDD!!!!!!!
==Trivia==
No link to the original Cyanide and Happiness strip is provided on Square Root of Minus Garfield itself; based on the stated content warning in the author's notes, it is likely a link was submitted, but was delinked prior to the strip running. The original Cyanide and Happiness strip can be found here (warning: strong language, rude themes).

3806: Languages and Liz: English

==Explanation==
This strip, via both intentional and unintentional methods, essentially flips the premise of 3402: 语言学与丽兹：中文; whereas #3402 had the strip's main language be English and the target language of the gag be Chinese, this strip makes the main language be Chinese and the target language of the gag be English. (The link to strip #3402 in the author's notes is how we can imply the main language of the strip proper as Chinese; as the vast majority of the transcript and author's notes are currently riddled with mojibake, it would have been difficult to discern a target language otherwise.)
Even the later site recoding effort that riddled both #3402 and this strip with mojibake errors show the premise flip. #3402 saw only one line in the transcript, a small portion of its author's notes, and its title hit with mojibake, and that strip's page on this very wiki was created prior to the recoding effort that resulted in the mojibake errors thus its intended content has been preserved; this strip, on the other hand, had almost its entire transcript and almost its entire author's notes riddled with mojibake but had its title left alone, while this very wiki page wasn't created until July 2024, years after the site recoding effort that resulted in the mojibake thus its intended content is currently lost to the public.
This was not the first time English was the target language for the Linguistics with Liz gag; 3405: Linguistics with Liz: English involved English as both the main language and the target of the gag.

3807: Zoology with Liz: Leptailurus serval

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Hello! Long time reader, first time maker!
Kemono Friends is a franchise by Mine Yoshizaki detailing the lives of animals, real and otherwise, that have been turned human through a substance called Sandstar. They all live in a place called Japari Park, which may or may not be Japan with massive geological changes. With the help of its staff, they learn all about humanity and how to integrate with society. At least, when they're not fighting off monsters born of Sandstar touching inorganic stuff.
The franchise is also notorious for having a tumultuous production history, as its fans can attest. Originally, it started out as a Japan-only mobile game published by Nexon in 2015. However, that game ceased to function at the end of 2016, and the prequel manga only lasted two volumes.
Yet a month or so later, there was a surprise hit anime adaptation which introduced many people abroad to the series. Then the producer TATSUKI got fired by the franchise owner Kadokawa (and his whole staff resigned in protest) because of said producer making a side episode for the anime against the company's wishes. Needless to say that was considered a very controversial move, so much that Kadokawa had to publicly apologize for the uproar. Nevertheless, they gave a different studio and producer the rights to make the anime's second season. Given how different it was compared to the first, though, several fans weren't exactly thrilled.
In the meantime there were other mobile and spinoff games, including a Picross game for Nintendo Switch. For those who never got to play the Nexon game, there was also a brief side anime explaining its plot. Finally, as of this writing Kadokawa and Yoshizaki are gearing up to officially release the next mobile game in the series, Kemono Friends 3, and its arcade version Planet Tours.
What does all that have to do with this strip? Well, I just thought it'd be funny to turn Liz into the franchise's mascot Serval, and what better way than to reinterpret the "Linguistics with Liz" strip? It certainly beats just translating "You are a radish" into Japanese.

381: Lost in Translation Garfield

==Explanation==
Garfield: Lost in Translation is a Blogspot site in which its blogger has ran Garfield dialogue through an online translator set to translate from English to Japanese, then took the result and translated it back into English. Presumably, this means that this edit's author took each line of the original strip's dialogue and did the same thing. Evidently, it was okay, at least at the time, as the strip was published, and will probably continue to be okay as long as not too many of them are just this concept.

This is done in the same way as the Garfield: Lost in Translation strip, but done by me so it's okay. :)

3822: Just Another Picture-Perfect Night

==Explanation==
The Whacka is a creature from the first three Paper Mario games. A friendly creature, it appears in a single location in each game, and is often whacked by players for its Whacka/Whacka's Bump, an item which restores 25 HP and 25 FP, which is a fairly high amount in these games. (Do so too much, however, and they're gone.) This creature was chosen due to the similarity in sound between "wax" and "Whacka".
The title is a play on what Whackas say if you talk to them.
