3909: Linguistics with Liz: Straightforward Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip, written by the same author as the original "Linguistics with Liz" strip, begins with the "Linguistics with Liz" setup; the title, however, may have someone wondering how someone would speak "straightforward Garfield". Liz's speech is surprisingly unchanged from the original Garfield strip, as is Jon's subsequent line; it's Garfield's line that's changed in this strip, with Garfield being straightforward in revealing that Liz's dialogue is, in fact, meaningless gibberish. This strip essentially deconstructs the original Garfield strip that the "Linguistics with Liz" running gag is based off of.
Plugging Liz's line into a search engine translator service set from auto-detect to English will simply return the same dialogue without any translation; on a run made in the process of writing this explanation, Bing translator claimed the gibberish to be Afrikaans, Google Translate claimed the gibberish to be Western Frisian, but neither actually translated anything. (Auto-detect language prediction results might change between runs.)
This strip's author claimed the "Linguistics with Liz" running gag to be semi-memetic at this point in Square Root of Minus Garfield history; the gag had, in fact, already made it past that point and, unbeknownst to much of the fanbase (presumably only the one in charge of the strip queue and possibly the author of the following day's strip knew it was coming), Jules was about to make his move...
==The author writes:==
Hi! Redgreen here! You may remember me as the creator of the semi-memetic "Linguistics with Liz" template. There has been a sizable influx of LwL variations and spinoffs* since my strip's inception and publication, and I think now is the perfect time for me to introduce this take on the source of my creation!
Given how nonsensical Liz's speech in the middle panel is, Garfield's sarcasm fits in well with his personality. But what if Garfield was more of a Captain Obvious?

{Exit Liz}
Jon: I will never understand women

Rod Serling: "Indiana, 1989. Spotlight on Garfield, an ordinary housecat with an extraordinary appetite. His idyllic life of food and sloth is about to be turned inside out, for he is about to enter...The Twilight Zone."
Garfield: Brr, there's a chill in here this morning
Garfield: What an eerie sensation...
Garfield: This doesn't feel like my home
Garfield: Jon? Odie?
Garfield: Anybody home?
Garfield: I'm alone
Garfield: Steady, Garfield. There must be a good reason why the house is empty
Garfield: Jon must be at the grocery
Garfield: My home as been abandoned. No one has lived here for years!
Garfield: But, that means... I haven't lived here for years!

Garfield: Jon! Odie! You're home!
Jon: Hello, Garfield. Have some food
Narrator: Locked fast within a time when he no longer exists, Garfield

Jon: Want some breakfast, Garfield?
Garfield: Who needs it? I need you!
Rod Serling: An imagination is a powerful tool. It can tint memories of the past, shade perceptions of the present, or paint a future so vivid that it can entice... or terrify, all depending upon how we conduct ourselves today...

3915: Darthfield Minus Darthfield

==Explanation==
In the original Tom the Dancing Bug strip, there was a subcomic on a larger comics page called For No Apparent Reason: Darthfield that combined Garfield with Darth Vader and Jon with Obi-Wan. Darthfield used "parsec" as a unit of area -- "sector" might be a better term -- leading to Obi-Jon's response, seen in this edit. Darthfield proceeded to Force Choke Obi-Jon, and used parsecs as a unit of force, instead. Here, the best unit would be the pound, since it's an Imperial unit, but newtons may also be used.
This edit simply removes Darthfield and his words from the subcomic.

3916: Odie with Real Talking Action

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The French version of the original strip is weird â€” in it, Odie basically says, "Gotcha" (according to my French-speaking friend; the text reads "J't'ai eu..."), as opposed to the English strip where he lets out a "ribbit", making a joke about his long frog-like tongue. The weird part being, of course, that Odie talks â€” so unless this is a dream sequence Garfield is having, of which there is no indication, then I can only chalk this up to the French translator(s) being ditsy.

{Garfield is preparing to eat a tasty hamburger, as Odie looks on}

3918: Jon in 2053

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
So, recently (at time of submission), YouTube channel Quinton Reviews posted a video concerning lost Garfield strips; in particular, spotlighting Jon, the version of the Garfield strip Jim Davis did from 1976 to 1978 prior to being picked up for national syndication. And to honor and highlight such a massive find in regards to the history of Garfield, I figured I would honor that in the only way I felt appropriate.
Namely, "2053"ing one of the strips.

3926: Garfield Mystery Dungeon B1F: Neutralized

==Explanation==
The author's attempt to create a "Garfield Mystery Dungeon" trend appears to have failed; no strip to date has followed up on it. The author also apparently failed to realize that not all dungeons in Mystery Dungeon games are below-ground and thus floors would not always be denoted as "B<floor>F"; using the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon as an example, the game's third dungeon, Mt. Steel, is not below-ground and thus its floors go from 1F to 9F without any sort of basement denotation.
==The author writes:==
Proooobably no need to explain this to PokÃ©mon fans, but for the rest of you, there's the title.
P.S. I want to make this into a trend. Please post strips with the title format: Garfield Mystery Dungeon B<number of strip in theme, DMM* will decide>F: <title>

392: Changefield

==Explanation==
The first strip in the Changefield series of edits. The comic takes the middle panel from the 2004 strip, in which Jon attempts to shame Garfield into playing and frolicking, only for Garfield to suggest changing all the other animals, and puts a border on it. Then follows the explosion from the 1984 strip, originally from a pair of ballet slippers that couldn't handle Garfield's bourrée. Finally, it shows Garfield as a goldfish from the 2001 strip, originally the result of having eaten a goldfish before bed.

3933: Variations on One Character

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
We've had quite a few strips involving bitshifts and file corruption, but I wanted to run a bit of an experiment with this one. I wanted to run the same consistent corruption â€” halfway through the file, shift the 5th character in the middle line to the end of the file â€” and apply this experiment to various filetypes. I think it's interesting to see how different file types get glitched in different ways like this (sans BMP, that's just a disappointment).

3935: Quickest Temper (or, Really Unprovoked); or, Negative Provocation (or, Senseless Domestic Animal Abuse); or, No Rhyme or Reason

==Explanation==
As the editor's note states, the page this strip runs on is an amalgamation of three different submissions attempting to create a logical ending to a running gag involving gradual shortenings of the original strip; in this case, only the panel of Garfield getting thrown out of a window is shown. All three of the original titles combined to form the final strip's title, the result of which is reminiscent of the titles given to The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle segments at the end of a previous segment in the story arc; Redgreen's submission was titled "Quickest Temper (or, Really Unprovoked)", Henry Morel's submission was titled "Negative Provocation (or, Senseless Domestic Animal Abuse)", and Camwoodstock's submission (presumably not involving Tori based on the editor's note) was titled "No Rhyme or Reason". All three submissions' author's notes were also preserved, with Redgreen's coming between the editor's note and the first set of asterisks, Henry Morel's between the two sets of asterisks, and Camwoodstock's between the second set of asterisks and the original strip credit.
==The author writes:==
[Three submissions all aimed to close the book on the Defenestration of Muncie in the same way. The authors' notes are provided below, first Redgreen's, then Henry Morel's, then Camwoodstock's, which is the same order as the titles. -Ed]
There. You can all start your applause now.
* * *
Don't do this at home, kids, or a man with a badge will take you to a scary home with scary boys who hit you when you're alone, when you're asleep, when you're showering, when you're eating and when you're having a walk.
* * *
Sometimes, the world's just unfair and you get spit on like that. Here, Garfield learns this bleak, depression-invoking lesson the hard way...
And in the process, I finally destroy this running gag by giving it no more room to allow Jon to throw Garfield out even quicker than before. So, uh, we gotta move on to other edits for this strip. Or maybe someone'll find a way to make it even faster and I'm just an idiot. Either one sounds plausible.
