308: Window Blind Story

==Explanation==
Explained fairly well in the author's comments, but it's worth noting that the panels used suffer from a lack of saturation compared to the original comics' vivid colors. It's unclear whether this was done on purpose by the author, or if they acquired the panels from a different source.
==The author writes:==
In honour of Qvaak's story-centric Garfield, I took one of the crazier Garfield stories and assembled them together minus the last panels (and the Sunday strip). I was originally going to move the 9th strip to the next-to-last panel, so the authorities would be there to help them get out, but realised that the flow of direction in the 11th strip worked better on the whole. Besides, the police fit above the fireman better.

3090: Mandibles Bite, Dog

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield is watching Uncle Roy on TV, and it looks like he is talking to the boys and girls, and they're probably wondering where Uncle Roy's dog Bob, is this morning. It seems Old Bob bit Mr. Blue Jeans the Mailman too often so Bob has decided to move to a local research facility to pursue a career as a laboratory animal. Garfield looks at the reader and calls himself "Frank Sinatra".
In this strip, Bob has decided to move to a local research facility to pursue a career as a Phazon test subject. Phazon is a substance from the Metroid Prime series that exterminates or corrupts life that it comes into contact with. The Space Pirates in this series have been experimenting with ways to use Phazon to mutate life forms to use to their advantage. One such possible mutation is an extra set of mandibles.
Garfield looks at the reader and calls himself Samus Aran. Samus Aran is the protagonist of the Metroid science fiction action-adventure game series by Nintendo. She was introduced in the 1986 video game Metroid.
The title is a play on "Man bites dog", an illustration of the difference between an occurrence that is likely to be reported as news, and one that is not, such as a dog biting a man.

Jon:
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
{Jon opens his eyes wider}
Jon:
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
{Jon smiles}
Jon:
It's a beautiful day
The sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
{Jon looks back to his cat}
Jon: Garfield?
{Jon narrows his eyes again}
Jon: You're pathetic.
Garfield: It lacks plot.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Quicksand explanations. We're viewing this strip from safe ground less then a foot away. Why Garfield doesn't reach out and pull himself out is beyond the scope of this strip, although given Garfield's general tendencies, I'd guess it's because he's too lazy.

3098: Finger Licking: Good?

==Explanation==
The title is a reference to a KFC Commercial. 
In the original strip, Jon's Aunt Edna had a bad habit, like licking their fingers, but not her own fingers. Garfield thinks Jon's Aunt Edna is a lonely, lonely, woman. 
In this strip, Garfield has been removed from the strip. The alternate Jon, or the other Jon, or other perspective, or whatever, seems wide-eyed.

309: Calm Break

==Explanation==
In the original strip, the first panel has Jon announcing a "Silly break", after which they "go berserk" before settling back down. Here, the first panel has been discarded, the last panel has become the second panel, and the second panel has been replicated to sandwich it, with the first one's "Woo! Woo!" being replaced with "Calm break!"
Thus, instead of calm being the default setting, silly is.

3101: Pyrofield

== Explanation ==
Jon's original quip to Liz was that his "lips were on fire", presumably referring to his readiness to kiss Liz; with Garfield remarking that "maybe it'll spread to the jacket". Here, Jon's quote is changed to refer to his car, with Garfield's remark being changed accordingly. It's a pretty straightforward edit.

3102: Hakuna Lasagna

== Explanation ==
This edit places Garfield and Odie atop Pride Rock, a location in Disney's The Lion King franchise. In particular, this is done to reference the opening of the original movie, during which Rafiki proudly raises the newborn Simba for all of the Pride Lands to see. In this context, however, Garfield attempts to throw Odie off of Pride Rock, before being called by someone not to (in the original strip, it is Jon). The title of this strip is a pun on "Hakuna Matata", one of the film's songs.

3103: Garfield Plus Actual Fish Facts

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
In this universe, Garfield ISN'T a mass-murderer of aquatic animals.
You ever notice how most goldfish die LONG before said seven years? That's because goldfish aren't actually NEARLY as low-maintenance as most people think. You need to keep the water a consistent temperature, make sure the water is filtered correctly... basically all stuff that you need a full-fledged fishtank to do, not a tiny bowl! If anything the bowl should only be used as temporary storage. Said fishtank would also more than likely prevent Garfield from eating the fish.
That said, the life of a fish that was improperly cared for would still be a lot longer than two minutes. But then again, this IS Jon Arbuckle we're talking about...
Also, I changed the punctuation a bit. That face in panel one definitely is not an exclamation mark face.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Jon is reading a book about fish}
Jon: Just as I thought.
Jon: The life span of a goldfish is seven years.
Jon: Not two minutes!
Garfield: You're the one who puts high-maintenance fish in a poor habitat. They're already dead before I eat them.

3104: Alphabetical Blender

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Jon was asking Garfield if he ever wakes up feeling depressed. Jon thought it was his own uneventful life. Then Jon realizes that Garfield glued Jon's hand to his face. 
Here, the words are in alphabetical order.
The author was trying to find a wordy comic for this one to arrange all the words in alphabetical order. He was trying to find one in one of his Garfield books, but he couldn't find it. He was confused. He decided to use the January 26, 1993 strip instead. 
And then he made the title, but he was mistakenly confused about thinking that was the comic that had Jon with a blender glued to his face. It wasn't that one, but he liked the odd partially non-sequitur name and it makes the strip that funny, giving it neither this nor the original one with anything to do with blenders.
==The author writes:==
I was considering to use a rather wordy strip for this one and arrange all the dialogue in alphabetical order. I remembered trying to find one in one of my Garfield books, but I couldn't find it again. So, I decided to use the famous one from January 26, 1993.
As for the title, that came from me mistakenly thinking that this was the strip that had Jon with a blender glued to his face. This strip obviously wasn't that one, but I still liked the odd, partially non-sequitur name and it makes the strip funnier, given that neither this nor the original one have anything to do with blenders.

3106: Hypocrite Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
When I was young, I watched an episode of Garfield and Friends where Garfield had a dream he ate so much that he got bigger and he ate a tree. When I ate broccoli, I ate it the same way Garfield ate that tree. In hindsight, I think it was a nice subtle way to get kids to eat broccoli.
Ironically, the same character seems to not like broccoli in a comic strip.
I edited the tree to make it look more like broccoli.

3107: Garfield but only when it's "Garfield"

==Explanation==
In this edit, the author removed the entire strip... except for rectangles around the word "Garfield". The author likens it to videos in which a work is edited down to only when someone is saying a particular word or phrase; in the author's example, this would be the word "Shrek" in the film Shrek.

3108: A Week in a Sunday

==Explanation==
The first sentence of the author's notes tend to explain the strip's premise; however, the second sentence of the author's notes include inaccurate information, implying that the title card is of a style from the early 1970s (Garfield's debut would be generally agreed to be in the late 1970s) and incorrectly dating the title panel to a Sunday strip that is not known to have ever had a title panel.
Contrary to what the author's notes and strip credits state, the title panel used is certainly not from 1978-06-25. Not only is the Garfield design clearly from a few years later, Sunday Garfield strips are not known to have even used title panels at that point in Garfield's run; the first known Garfield Sunday strip to even have a title panel was (the title panel used is of the design type introduced on that date, but the colors themselves do not match that date).
==The author writes:==
Inspired by #754 and #227, I decided to take the most important beats of the Garfield Gets His Mouth Stuck in a Tree week-long arc and condense it into a Sunday strip, even squashing the panels to better match the Sunday formatting. The generic Garfield title card from the early 1970s has been used (specifically the one from 1978-06-25).

310: Garfield, 2 Seconds Out-of-Sync

==Explanation==
In the original, Jon put the cookie jar on top of the refrigerator; here, he's put it 2-seconds-out-of-sync. The pole made more sense in the original, as Garfield intended to pole-vault to the cookie jar; here, it serves to demonstrate Garfield's apparent incursion into the out-of-sync "space" where the cookie jar might be hidden, as in comics, different panels tend to represent different points in time.
==The author writes:==
This one was inspired by a scene in Doctor Who - The End of Time, where the Doctor puts the TARDIS a second out-of-sync to hide it. While this seems like a brilliant idea at first, shouldn't it just get a second older if he puts it into the past, or disappear and reappear a second later if he puts it into the future?
The Daleks pull off the same thing in the Season 4 Finale, and I think the Star Trek: TNG episode "Time's Arrow" also qualifies, although it's concealed with ludicrous amounts of technobabble:
Data reports that his temporal analysis indicates a synchronic distortion in the areas emanating triolic waves. The displacement is a positive .004 percent which is enough to render the Devidians invisible due to being out of phase with the away team.
— Memory Alpha
Most disturbingly, I couldn't find a relevant TV Tropes page, which proves that the end of time is indeed near. (Although a combination of San Dimas Time, Portal to the Past and a total failure of The Slow Path comes close.)
Original strip: .
EDIT: After submitting this strip, the author initiated the process to create the TV Tropes page Just One Second Out Of Sync.

Jon: I've put the cookie jar just 2 seconds out-of-sync where Garfield can't reach it.

3111: Kachi As Kachi Can

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield's shaking switched the clock's "TICK TICK TICK" to "TOCK TOCK TOCK". Here it switches to "KACHI KACHI KACHI", the Japanese onomatopoeia for ticking. In both cases, Garfield doesn't seem to consider it an improvement.
The title is a play on the phrase "catch-as-catch-can", meaning "only when possible or when the opportunity presents itself".
