260: Garfield - Schrödinger's Cat

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield had fallen asleep in Jon's lap, clinging to Jon's shirt with his claws. Here, Garfield's "Z Z Z"s are gone, and Jon throws in his two cents about Schrödinger's Cat.
Schrödinger's Cat is a famous thought experiment in which there is a cat in a box with a flask of poison which becomes shattered if an internal monitor detects the decay of a single atom. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics seems to imply that, given time, the cat is both alive and dead at the same time. Any event of this type is known as a quantum superposition, which is believed to collapse into a single reality upon observation. While Schrödinger intended to use the experiment to highlight the absurdity of this view, it is still referenced even among physicists who hold to other interpretations that include the dead-and-alive-cat scenario, and many people mistakenly believe that the experiment was a belief he held, as seen here.
==The author writes:==
I can't believe no one has shot down Schrödinger's cat yet. (excuse the pun) So here it is.
Original: .
==Transcript==
{Garfield is asleep in Jon's lap}</br>
Jon: When unobserved, the cat is both alive and dead.</br>
Jon: Schrödinger was wrong.</br>
{Jon stands. Garfield is still attached to his front.}</br>
Jon: Observation makes no difference at all.

2610: Dg

==Explanation==
This strip essentially reverses the approach to the original Garfield strip's core joke in comparison to 2597: Doog; here, every single O across the strip proper, transcript, and--with the exception of the version of the original strip credit corresponding to the current crediting system (the version recreated here to avoid redundancy)--author's notes, has been completely eliminated.

2611: Underfield: A Time to Seek Therapy

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Because 2013-03-20 isnâ€™t the only Garfield strip ripe for an obvious Undertale parody.
Fun fact: when I submitted #2481, Manyhills assured me that he/she didn't remember seeing any other Undertale-related SRoMG strips in the buffer. Mine ended up being the last of three such strips published in a row; was that done on purpose or what?

2612: "Dark Side of Lasagne In One Panel" Scaled Up and Redrawn

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
For my Geometry class, we had to take a comic panel and scale it up several times by redrawing it on graph paper. I wanted to do something related to Square Root of Minus Garfield, and lucky me, the SRoMG entry on the day of the assignment was #2478, "Dark Side of Lasagne In One Panel." Nobody noticed the actual content of the comic, though.

2615: Garfield is a cat

==Explanation==
In this comic, Jon is stressed out about all these things, like his yard needed to be mowing, his car needing an oil change, his house needed to be painting, Odie needing to be washed, Liz breaking up, being overdue on his mortgage, his credit card being maxed out, the local paper firing Jon, writing a eulogy for his mom, mentioning his shingles, paying the rent for Lyman, and not sleeping in days! But at least Jon has Garfield to comfort. Jon and Garfield share a hug in the last panel. Awwww.

261: Garfield Shrink & Re-enlarge, Part 2

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
qvaak wrote in the forums:
The process would be as follows: 1. A Garfield Sunday strip is sent to the first participant. He squeezes the strip into a three panel strip. 2. The three panel strip is sent to the second participant. He squeezes it into a single panel funny picture. 3. The funny picture is sent to the third participant, who expands the picture into a three panel strip. 4. The fourth participant expands the three panel strip into a Sunday strip.
Rules: 1. Everybody will be told what the original strip was, so that they can avoid it as much as they can. We cannot hope the participants don't remember the strip or that they would not run into it by accident, but the less the better. No artwork or dialogue may be taken straight from the original. This does not concern the first participant, of course. 2. Other than that every method is allowed. You can edit existing artwork or copy/paste new art from other Garfield strips. You can rewrite dialogue or add new dialogue. Etc. 3. The goal of edits should be to carry the most essential parts of the story and the gag from one strip format to another.
This experiment is based on my experiments already published: #127, #113, #109. They are a fine proof that the challenge should be manageable. Not that my ways should be yours; the truncating and expanding can certainly be achieved by many different tricks.
Rule three might seem strange, but my aim for this experiment is to play on information loss and confabulation that slips into creation when edited and re-edited enough. If everyone would make their own gag somehow based on material given to them, information loss and confabulation would not so much slip, but crash in.

2621: One Of These Month of No Sundays Strips Is Not Like The Others...

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I thought I'd mix things up on this Month of No Sundays strip a bit by engaging in a game: Which of these abridged strips is different from the others, and in how many ways? (Answers below. Select with mouse to see.)
The second strip is different in at 6 least ways by my count:
:It's the only strip that uses 2 panels, rather than 3.
:It's the only strip that uses a "throwaway" panel.
:It's the only strip that lacks dialogue.
:It's the only strip with the mouse.
:It's the only strip without "distributed by Universal Uclick" in the gutters.
:It's the only strip which is presented here unaltered (the first strip replaces "he" with "Jon", the third strip replaces Garfield and Odie from a later panel, and the fourth strip, and the fair clue of this difference, "Liz" is added poorly, all in the first panel.)

2624: Jon's Dungeon

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Upon seeing strip #367 "ASCIIfield" it occurred to me that someone should've redone any of Garfield strips as seen in roguelikes*. Quick search through archives however have proven that this haven't been done yet. So, using a generator from Dudley's Dungeon - a comic strip (in the broadest definition of the word) dedicated to one of the "major" roguelikes, Nethack - I've made this.
*Roguelike: a turn-based RPG game with a heavy emphasis on randomized item generation and "permadeath" (i. e. only one save per game exists; it's erased upon character's death or victory). Roguelikes are predominantly displayed on a 80x25 console grid. Of course, modern roguelikes aren't limited to ASCII and can be displayed with 2d tiles, isometry or other means.
Original strip: .

{The strip is represented by ASCII symbols within a roguelike interface: top-down view, Jon is shown as "@", Garfield as "c", and book by "+"}

2625: Rock-cat Jumps Aren't Cute

==Explanation==
The rocket jump is a method of using a weapon to cause the one firing it to jump, usually higher than the character can by the normal method. The weapon Garfield is using here is a Firebomb Launcher from Rise of the Triad, an early, if not the first, video game in which rocket jumping was employed. The strap around Garfield is run through the trigger guard, so that when Garfield stops and gravity and the launcher's momentum pulls it forward, the strap pulls the trigger again.
==The author writes:==
Why should we assume that his landings are causing minor seismic events? Let's make it his propulsion method!
Original strip: .
Firebomb Launcher sprite from Rise of the Triad Headquarters and used only as a vehicle for parody.

2628: Another Step Further

==Explanation==
This strip follows up on 2617: Doggone, itself a strip that visibly removed the dog from the original strip as well as any mentions of the word "dog", and takes things further and deleted everything from the strip save the thought bubbles and Jim Davis's signature; the dialogue itself was worded implying Jim was saving money on this minimalist setup and the owner of the other thought bubble thought that things may have gone too far. An editor's note declares an end to the recurring theme that was being poked fun at with this strip.
==The author writes:==
My response to #2617, and of course the two strips it drew off of. Here I take things another step further, by removing almost everything. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether I managed to milk some more humor out of the meme or not.

==Explanation==
In the original third panel, Garfield tells someone over a walkie-talkie to "release the anvil". Here, Garfield simply continues doing nothing.

2631: Max Headfield

==Explanation==
The author's notes explains the key background to this strip; this strip takes the first panel of the strip that ran on the day of the infamous Max Headroom signal intrusion (whose perpetrators are still unidentified to this day as of this writing), then uses the static effect from another strip to lead into a panel taken from the first part of the hijacked broadcast. The necessary line to be used in the third panel is known due to the second intrusion of the evening (on PBS station WTTW, interrupting a Doctor Who serial) having audible enough sound to discern a line; the first intrusion of the evening (on then-independent station WGN, interrupting the sports segment of the local newscast) had only loud buzzing.

2634: The Real 37th Birthday Special - Too Old

==Explanation==
Now that there's a 37th birthday special, the author wanted to make an edit for it.
Nermal is sitting all alone asking Garfield how old he is, but he ain't around. Nermal asks himself that Garfield's too old. Garfield the ghost looks at Nermal, being unamused.
In the original Garfield strip, Nermal asks Garfield how old he is today, and Garfield replies angrily at Nermal saying, "None of your business!", and exits the panel. Nermal tells himself that Garfield's too old.
This strip is the third and last follow-up and unofficial extension of Square Root of Minus Garfield's "birthday series" that was held in celebration of its 2000th strip, this time doing a proper remix of the 2015-06-19 strip, the strip first alluded to 2015: 37th Birthday Special: 404 Error, in the same style as the birthday series proper.
