3856: On your TV, on your album, cassette, and 8-track

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I really hope no one else has done this before.
This is the strip from 1982-08-02, converted to audio and put on a real cassette tape, before being recorded off that tape and remade into an image. I'm not sure why it became almost entirely black and white, especially since you can see colours by zooming in.
How I did it:
#I took the comic and converted it to a raw file, where three bytes corresponded to a single pixel. (RGB format for those using Imagemagick.)
#I imported the raw data into Audacity as unsigned 8-bit PCM audio, little-endian order, 44.1 kHz. This was exported as a .wav file and dubbed onto the tape.
#I recorded the audio from the tape back into Audacity, and after making sure the samples were lined up so nothing would have been added, I exported as an unsigned 8-bit .wav file.
#After removing the .wav header, it was a simple matter of converting from the raw data into a png using Imagemagick.
Frankly I'm astonished you can even tell it's a Garfield strip. Clearly this needs fine-tuning.

3857: Swarbrickfield

==Explanation==
Jon's calling Garfield a baby boomer would be inaccurate; the most accepted definition of that generation places it in the rough timeframe of 1946 to 1964, and based on how the Garfield comic strip treats Garfield's birthdays, Garfield would fall into the subsequent Generation X (most accepted: 1965-1980). It is unknown whether Jon himself would fall into the baby boomer generation, as his own date of birth is unestablished; Jim Davis barely missed falling into the baby boomer generation, as his year of birth is commonly accepted to be the last year of the preceding Silent Generation (most accepted: 1928-1945).

3859: Red vs. Blue

==Explanation==
In the original, the P.A. system said "red" while the car was blue. This edit, rather than simply correcting one of those, changes the spoken color to "blue" and the car to red. The author seems irritated that the colorist for this strip apparently didn't read the words and apply them to the work of deciding which color to use.
The strip shares its title with a comic science fiction web television series that uses the Halo video game series for its visuals.
==The author writes:==
Since some colorists apparently don't know what colors are, I decided I don't, either. After all, I'm not getting paid for it, while they are, for some reason.

385: Ticket Out Of Here

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield's "ticket out of here" is his imagination, filled with sunshine, daisies, and frolicking with Arlene as other Arlenes look on admiringly.
In this edit, Garfield chooses suicide by hanging, and is discovered by Jon. The sources of these elements were not remembered by the author.
==The author writes==
One that I made for fun, before I knew about Square Root of Minus Garfield, so I don't remember which strip(s) I built the last panel from - sorry.

3861: My all-time favourite strip?

==Explanation==
This strip is essentially a response to the editor's notes on 3753: Jai Hodie; it takes the second musing in the second author's note of that strip, about an apparent "more natural wording", and applied it to the original Garfield strip. The other two panels from the original Garfield strip were left unchanged, thus keep the original strip's Old Yeller reference. As the author, as stated in the author's notes, is not an American, the Commonwealth spelling "favourite" was used in the remix.
==The author writes:==
Assuming nobody else has already satisfied your editor's comment on #3753...
(The observant will notice that I am not American.)

3863: Dynamos

==Explanation==
The "higher-resolution original" of the 1993-12-27 strip the author referred to presumably referred to the version that was available on garfield.com at the time this strip was created, submitted, and first ran; while garfield.com was taken down in June 2020, it has been archived on the Garfield wiki on Fandom here.
==The author writes:==
After realizing that "Monday" anagrams to "Dynamo", I couldn't get this idea out of my head.
I like to think the implication in the last strip is that Garfield is now somehow forced to use a dynamo to generate power.
(In the higher-resolution original you can see the calendar in the second strip says "Garfuary", which is moderately interesting.)

3864: GarMax and MiniField

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
You guys like this kind of stuff right?
So, to make this submission, I used Python, with the PIL package.
I used two strips for each part, and between the strips, for each position, whichever pixel in that position in both images had a higher sum of the colour channels was placed in the GarMax image, while the other was placed in the MiniField image. This sort of shows an amount of similarity. It's probably fair to say that if you can still mostly figure out the strip, it's probably a mega-reuse. We can see that the original "Spot The Difference With Garfield" showed the most egregious example. However, it doesn't actually measure reuse, or even similarity really, in more general situations. it's just kind of weird he used the exact same execution each time, with basically the same character positions.
I changed some of the strips' heights a bit, and used SRoMG #889 for the flip of one of the Pooky strips. The heights aren't all the same, if you were hoping to extract the individual GarMax and MiniFields.
I mostly used very similar strips, but included a combination of the infamous pudding pop strip and the blender strip, for reference.
Here is the program I used:
from PIL import Image
zip1 = Image.open("/Users/***/Downloads/whatev1.gif").convert("RGB")
zip2 = Image.open("/Users/***/Downloads/whatev2.gif").convert("RGB")
zip2.load()
zip1.load()
img = Image.new("RGB",(zip1.width,zip1.height*2))
for y in range(zip1.height):
 for x in range(zip1.width):
 pix1 = zip1.getpixel((x,y))
 pix2 = zip2.getpixel((x,y))
 img.putpixel((x,y),max(pix1,pix2, key=sum))
 img.putpixel((x,y+zip1.height),min(pix2, pix1, key=sum))
img.save("whatevmixboth.png")
I also used a program to join my outputs to submit:
from PIL import Image
images = []
height_offsets = [0]
for i in input().split():
 images.append(Image.open("/Users/***/Desktop/thing/"+i).convert("RGB"))
 images[-1].load()
 height_offsets.append(images[-1].height+height_offsets[-1])
img = Image.new("RGB", (600,height_offsets[-1]))
for i in range(len(images)):
 for x in range(images[i].width):
 for y in range(images[i].height):
 img.putpixel((x, y+height_offsets[i]),images[i].getpixel((x,y)))
img.save("combinedmixes.png")

3866: Why You Shouldn't Eat Jon's Cookies

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Funny thing is, I actually thought up this strip before the "Jon throws Garfield through a window just for making fun of his suit" strip became a running gag of sorts on here. Considering that I've actually seen complaints that Jon crossed the line in it (which, let's be honest here, he kinda did - Garfield wasn't even doing anything all that mean towards him), it's strange that people use it so much on this site.
Also, methinks Jon has issues if he's going to injure Garfield over a few cookies.

3870: Bad 2 Santa

==Explanation==
This strip's Garfield's plans for Santa are a complete reversal of his plans in the original strip. The original Garfield planned to turn the outside Christmas lights on so Santa could see their roof; this Garfield plans to turn them off to make it harder. The original Garfield planned to leave out a snack of cookies and milk for him; this Garfield plans to leave out one of the hottest kinds of pepper. The original planned to grease the chimney to make it easier to slide down; this one plans to glue the chimney and get him stuck.
The title is a play on Bad Santa 2.

3871: A Slightly Odd Christmas Gift

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Here's a very odd Christmas present for my (at time of writing) 5-year-old niece. During a recent visit, after finding out she enjoyed drawing, I asked her to draw a panel of a Garfield strip that I enjoyed, and this is what she drew.
Just to be clear: I asked her parents' permission, and for the sake of keeping things relatively anonymous, I am carefully not mentioning her by name, except to mention she's the niece named after her grandmother. She's a little young to understand what the comic strip "Garfield" is, nevermind what Square Root of Minus Garfield is, but I thought she might enjoy having something posted on one of the Internet's strangest refrigerators.
(For those who read the forums: This is a different niece from the one who inspired this idea. People can have more than one niece, you know.)

387: GGAGCTCGTTTTATCGAGCTCGAT

==Explanation==
==The author writes==
The genetic code is how organisms store the sequence of proteins. Basically, there are four nucleotides of DNA (A, C, G, T) that combine in three-letter "words" called codons to specify amino acids, which then get translated into a linear protein molecule through very complicated molecular machinery. There are 20 different amino acids, and a shorthand way to represent a protein is to use single letters. The conventional representation uses the whole alphabet except for the letters B, J, O, U, X, and Z. There's also the signal to stop the protein (called a "stop codon") which is represented by the codons TAA, TAG, and TGA.
The word "Garfield" does not contain any of those letters, and so might actually be the protein sequence glycine-alanine-arginine-phenylalanine-isoleucine-glutamic acid-leucine-aspartic acid. This protein sequence actually exists in nature (albeit as part of a larger protein) in at least one bacterium in the sequence database. I've highlighted the residues in red, below.

(You can see the string "garfiel d" split before the final "d" in the second line of the ORIGIN field of the protein database entry, linked above.)
This bit of protein could be encoded in DNA as GGAGCTCGTTTTATCGAGCTCGAT (as well as many other ways, since the code is redundant). To make this strip, I just encoded all the dialogue as DNA and added a stop codon for a period. The only hard part was finding a strip that didn't contain any of those six letters. O and U are surprisingly common...

3882: Is this fandom politics?

==Explanation==
This strip takes the announcement of a new television adaptation of the Garfield series, referenced in Garfield's bubble in the strip, and portrays it as being inevitably compared to nostalgia for Garfield and Friends, the 1988-94 television adaptation of both Garfield and U.S. Acres/Orson's Farm; the Garfield and Friends nostalgia is superimposed onto a shoe threatening Garfield in the strip. The author even goes as far as to apologize for the then-recently-announced show in their notes.
Although the author appears to have tried to take a neutral stance between Garfield and Friends and the then-recently-announced Nickelodeon adaptation, there is still clear fandom politics in play in this strip, in that the author appears to completely ignore the existence of The Garfield Show, the 2009-16 television adaptation of the Garfield series; the article linked to within the author's notes, although it does make mention of that adaptation, takes a jab at it as well. Regardless of the author's and article writer's feelings toward The Garfield Show, that show certainly has its fans, and thus any new Nickelodeon Garfield adaptation would inevitably see comparision toward The Garfield Show as well as to Garfield and Friends.
However, it is currently unknown if the then-recently-announced Nickelodeon Garfield television adaptation is even still in development; sources pertaining specifically to that adaptation date only as recently toward the timeframe in 2019 when it was first announced. Although a Nickelodeon staffer released some Garfield-related artwork in 2023, artwork that has been shared on the Garfield wiki on Fandom, that artwork is not a clear sign to indicate that the series in question is still in development.
