5044: I Made June 19, 2022 Strip Different

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I made June 19, 2022 different, and possibly depressing, while showing what happens if parents give their kids (and daughters) surprises, only for them to find out that their parents have a dark side for something. I wonder if that happens to Garfield too... and I also edited (and recolored) some strips to make more sense. Hope you enjoy this comic.

==Transcript==
{The panel shows a birthday cake with the red text "Garfield" as candle waxes, with an excited Garfield about to blow out the candles}
{The panel shows Jon patting Garfield}
Jon: It's only noon, Garfield. Why don't you sleep in today, you deserve the rest
{Garfield sees Lyman holding Odie on the ground}
Lyman: Hey, Garfield! Let's have some fun! I'll hold Odie down and you beat him up
{Garfield sees Jon with tons of lasagna}
Jon: I baked tons of lasagna for you ol' buddy. Eat! Eat!
{A smiling Jon holds Garfield while Lyman and Odie watch happily}
Jon and Lyman: We love you, Garfield!
{Blank black panel}
{Suddenly, Garfield turns on the light and sees himself standing at a table filled with cakes and drinks, with Jon, Liz, Odie, and Garfield's teddy bear, Pookie, all wearing birthday hats, happily giving Garfield a birthday surprise}
Jon and Liz: SURPRISE!!
{Garfield goes into another room while eating a carrot, depressed}
{Garfield looks at the viewer depressed, sniffing}
{Garfield cries at the corner wall with the window}
Garfield: WAAHH!
{Garfield is thrown out of a window by Jon as one of his birthday surprises}
{Garfield lies on the grass}
{The panel goes black and white, with Garfield still lying on the grass in the rain}

5045: Garfield but I removed Garfield's dialogue

==Explanation==
The original had Jon looking blissful, and saying that Liz was the best thing that's ever happened to him, which made Garfield feel the same way about bacon.
This edit removes Garfield's dialogue.
==The author writes:==
I saw this strip in the newspaper, and then thought to myself "y'know, this would be funnier as one of those comics that removed Garfield's thought bubbles". And then I had a sudden realization that I had the tools to do so. So I went to edit the strip ASAP.
I think I did a good job at it.

Garfield: The lasagna isn't ready because Jon forgot to make it!

5048: In Which Pooky Gets Banned From The Oscars

==Explanation==
The original strip had Garfield smack Jon and made it look like Pooky did it; this remix removes Garfield and reworks the first panel so that Pooky really did smack Jon. The strip's title makes reference to the incident where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards in 2022, specifically Will Smith's fate after said incident.
Interestingly, this strip ran three days after the subsequent year's Academy Awards ceremony.

5049: Garfield Plus Calvin And Hobbes' Most Confusing Joke

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The Calvin and Hobbes strip from which this... uh... "joke" is taken is notorious for being one of the few C&H strips to not really be funny in the slightest. (The thing is, you think he's saying that some kids made a lot of money, but actually they brutally attacked a guy named Richard who was dirty.) In my opinion, it makes more sense for the dialogue to be in the context of Garfield, where being not funny in the slightest is the norm rather than the exception.
Original Calvin and Hobbes strip: 1994-01-11.

5050: Garfield's Hot Take, Pt. 1

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Credit to Sloublues for the transcript and for the inspiration on the message forum, and I suppose indirect credit too to Trevor for the strip which prompted the thread on the SRoMG forum. I continue to believe that "Take That"s are funnier when they are against targets which are widely held in high esteem by the community.
Could be worse, though. He could have watched Spaceballs instead.

5057: Uncool Cat

==Explanation==
Garfield says how great it is to see all the cool cats out there. We then see Cool Cat from the infamous kids movie Cool Cat Saves The Kids, and Garfield calls security as a jab at the film's quality.
==The author writes:==
For those who don't know, Cool Cat is the main character of Cool Cat Saves The Kids, the first (and currently only) anti-bullying kids' gun safety movie. The movie is absolutely horrible, but incredibly funny to watch as a result. When a bunch of YouTubers such as I Hate Everything and Bobsheaux made negative reviews of the movie, Derek Savage, the creator of Cool Cat, had all their videos taken down under the false pretense of copyright infringement, ignoring that the videos were clearly fair use. It didn't work, and the videos went back up, and Derek Savage's reputation was permanently ruined. I recommend watching video reviews of Cool Cat Saves The Kids, they're very fun to watch.

5061: Cincinnatifield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
For some bat-insane reason, my birthplace's newspaper (The Cincinnati Enquirer) decided that what would be a "good idea" to introduce Garfield to the newspaper would be to run the 1978-06-19 strip instead of the expected 1978-09-18 strip (his first "I hate Mondays" strip).
They also happen to replace 1978-09-19, 09-20, 09-21, 09-22, and 09-23 with 1978-06-20, 06-21, 06-22, 06-23, 06-24 respectively. I don't know about the 1978-09-24 newspaper since newspapers.com never bothered to save the comics from there.

5065: The World's Funniest Punchline Swap

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
There are many tried-and-true formulas for making SRoMG comics. Pudding Pops, Face Blenders, Horror Theaters, Linguistical Lizzes, Subtle Recontextualizations, Beat Panels, and, of course, Punchline Swaps. But none of these formulas has had a single, superlative, funnier-than-all-the-rest comic. (Except maybe the Pudding Pops one - I've never seen The Terminator but the conclusion to that was pretty amazing.)
That is, until now.
I've found the perfect punchline swap. Just by swapping a pair of pretty punchlines, I have created a pair of comics funnier than every other comic on this website COMBINED. It took many years of experimentation and comic searching but, sure enough, there it was, right in front of my eyes.
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if SRoMG just ended with this comic. It is the SUPERLATIVE funny, and I bet the website is honored to be the host of the last funny thing to ever grace the world.
Oh, and happy April 1. It's my favorite time of year. Don't you agree?

Presumably, this was followed up by reality breaking down as per the original cartoon, but unfortunately modern Garfield operates on a 'tell, don't show' basis.

5071: Shrekfield

==Explanation==
In the original strip, the first two panels were dedicated to the homeowner, Sherri, hearing the doorbell and answering the door. She shrieks in the third panel, and her blind date greets her. Sherri screams and yells through the next two panels as her date compliments her and asks what she wants to do. As the date makes a suggestion, the TV station identifies the show, revealing the date to be Godzilla.
This edit cuts out the first two panels, as well as the fourth and fifth. A new first panel includes Garfield turning on the TV; the "SHRIEEEEEEK!" in the second panel is changed to "SHREEEEEEK!" while "Sherri" is changed to "Fiona", the kidnapped princess in the first film; and the name in the last panel is changed to "Shrek" while "town" is changed to "swamp".
Shrek is a media franchise loosely based on a book called Shrek!, by William Steig. It entered the public consciousness via its first film, called Shrek, released in 2001 by Dreamworks. They went on to make: a short 4D film; two more regular movies, Shrek 2 and Shrek 3; and a Christmas television special, all before Square Root of Minus Garfield's first strip was published. A stage musical premiered in SRoMG's early days, followed by Shrek Forever After, a Halloween special, and a couple of spinoff films centered on Puss-in-Boots... all before any SRoMG strip referencing Shrek was published. Given all this, the author's shock at their edit being the first to do so is understandable.
==The author writes:==
There's been not one SRoMG Shrek parody strip. Not one. Given Shrek's reputation, it's shocking.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Arlene's dialogue mostly taken from the 1987 Les Blank documentary short Gap-Toothed Women. While mostly a series of straight-to-camera interviews with women possessing the titular dental lacuna, the film briefly features a Garfield strip: the 1984-10-24 comic is shown in a one-shot-per-panel sequence.

==Transcript==
Garfield: Tell me, Arlene, what good is that space between your teeth?
Arlene: I read somewhere in a folklore book that gap-teethed women are supposed to be sexier
Arlene: In medieval interpretation, gap teeth meant that a woman was very fond of travelling
Arlene: Many people from overseas or who have been overseas would say that it's a lucky symbol or a beauty symbol
Arlene: The Egyptians thought that women with spaces in their teeth, the moon would shine through the space in their teeth and make them sing like beautiful birds
