5593: Tainted Love (Cover) by Garfield feat. Jon

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I was thinking about this song. Couldn't for the life of me remember who made it, and the name of the song. The name of the song is "Tainted Love", and if you haven't listened to it, I recommend listening to the first 15 seconds of that song for context.
Additionally, Garfield seems to smack himself in the head a lot. It's only natural he plays the percussion in this rendition.

5596: Jon Dai

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon's abandoned activity was weed whacking. Here, it's Egyptology, the scientific study of ancient Egypt.
Rachel Weisz is an actress who played Evelyn Carnahan, one of the main characters in the 1999 film The Mummy. In it, she awakens a mummified Imhotep, who had been placed under the curse of Hom-dai, which the title of this edit is a play on. The author's note speculates that Rachel, being an attractive woman, was the entire reason Jon pursued the subject, and ended up mummified himself.
==The author writes==
He probably only got into Egyptology because of Rachel Weisz.

5598: Ojamajofield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
If you've never heard of Ojamajo Doremi (おジャ魔女どれみ, A.K.A. Magical DoReMi), it's a Magical Girl anime... kind of like Sailor Moon and Pretty PreCure (in fact, Toei Animation produced all three of these shows!), but unlike the latter two, the main characters are younger elementary schoolers training to become witches, which helps make it even cuter, especially with its cutesy cute art style! ❤️

55: Zoomed-out Garfield

==Explanation==
The content from the original panels has been shrunk and surrounded with empty space. This allows a different visual perspective on Garfield, as the vast majority of Garfield strips feature the characters at a consistent apparent size and distance from the viewer. The empty space may also imply that there are not "all sorts of things" that Garfield is missing out on, or that they exist but are far outside his chosen environment.

Category:limmey comic
5601: Pedanticfield

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon said "poisonous" instead of "venomous" or "vemonous". In common parlance, people often use "poisonous" both for things that make you sick or kill you because you ingested some part of them and for things that make you sick or kill you by injecting venom into you via biting or stinging. Technically, only the former is truly poisonous; the latter is properly termed "venomous". The author's note links to a Natural History Museum article on the subject. It also links to a comic in which a spider bites its tongue and dies; it is claimed that either "poisonous" or "venomous" could be correct, depending on whether the spider died from the bite or by ingesting the poison in its tongue.
==The author writes:==
See here. The strip works either way.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Jon is running around in a frenzy, staring at his finger}
Jon: Something bit me!
Jon: What if it's venomous?!
Jon: I could die!
Garfield {exasperatedly}: When?!
==Trivia==
The third line of the transcript does not match the second panel of the strip proper; the strip proper uses "vemonous" where the transcript uses "venomous".

5602: Lazy Fortune Cookie Edit

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield's fortune cookie held a fortune reading, "The worst is yet to come", with Garfield attributing it to being a Monday fortune cookie. This strip swaps out the fortune for an "insert something here"-type text that Garfield would attribute to a lazy fortune cookie; the author's notes makes several references to possible ways to fill in the fortune:
*"*teleports behind you* Nothing personal, kid": A reference to the Coldsteel the Hedgeheg meme; Coldsteel the Hedgeheg originated as a fan fiction character in Sonic the Hedgehog fan fiction.
*"Anime was a mistake": A reference to a misquote from an interview of Hayao Miyazaki.
*"Sir, this a Wendy's": An evolution of a meme that originated from a Twitter post invoking the quote "Sir, this is an Arby's".
*"I know that feel, bro": A meme that appeared on a German image board as an evolution of a meme of Polish origin.
*"It's Morbin' Time!": A play on a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers catchphrase within context of the film Morbius.
==The author writes:==
Candidate fortunes include "*teleports behind you* Nothing personal, kid", "Anime was a mistake", "Sir, this a Wendy's", "I know that feel, bro", and, at time of writing, "It's Morbin' Time!"

5603: The Tragic End of an Old Friend

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I was kind of stuck on this one. I knew I wanted to make the Balloon into Balloony from Phineas and Ferb, considering I've been watching a lot of that lately, BUT I didn't want to reuse the ending from the other SRoMG strip, so I was just kind of figuring out an ending. I don't know what possessed me to make a Dragnet reference, probably the ghost of Jack Webb, but I'm glad I did, because it made the strip that much better.

5605: Donk!

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I realized that the 1986-08-17 strip used the "Donk!" sound and decided to replace it with Team Fortress 2's icon for when a player gets Double Donked with the Loose Cannon. While I was in the middle of submitting this strip, I got the idea to replace the Garfield logo with a TF2-ified version of it. Said version of the logo is also included with a transparent background:

5607: Corner

==Explanation==
In the original 2015 comic, nothing could be seen, and only sheer uncertainty kept Garfield from passing that corner. Here, in the second and third panels, we see the appendages that originally emerged from a mouse hole in the 2014 comic, prompting Garfield to remark that he preferred it when they had mice.
==The author writes:==
I was browsing strips when I saw this one, and I immediately knew what to do with it. (Okay—not immediately, but you get the idea.)

5608: Pooky Saw a Bad Movie

==Explanation==
This strip involves Garfield attempting to cheer up Pooky by showing it a movie (the author's notes imply it to be the 2022 Disney+ live-action adaptation of Pinocchio), only for Garfield's cheer to be drained afterward (hinting said author's notes, as well as not bothering to complete the film's running time within the strip proper, to be a jab at said Pinocchio film; the runtime is 105 minutes, or 1 hour 45 minutes); it is unknown why the marker from the original Garfield strip (originally used to physically draw a smile onto Pooky's face) was retained, as it is no longer used within the narrative.

5609: Garf, Interrupted

==Explanation==
This strip essentially transplants the strip's setting to the San Francisco Bay Area, and its premise involves Garfield watching Garfield and Friends get cut off by a CBS News special report; KPIX-TV, the CBS station in the Bay Area to which Garfield calls in this strip, was not yet a network owned-and-operated station at the time the Garfield and Friends episode aired, and wouldn't be for another year afterward. Time zones further east would've seen either local or sports programming cut off at the point of the special report; Garfield and Friends at the time programmed at 11:00 AM in the Easter and Pacific time zones (10:00 AM Central and Mountain), with CBS's Saturday morning block having ended at the top of the hour in the Mountain time zone and one hour prior to that in the Central and Eastern time zones.
The author's notes imply the episode in question was not shown on American television again until the DVD release; while it is true that the episode never appeared in the Garfield and Friends syndication packages, it cannot be said with certainty that this episode in particular either was or was not ever rerun, as although Garfield and Friends ended new episodes in December 1994, it continued on the CBS schedule in reruns until October 1995.
==The author writes:==
Based on a true incident captured on VHS where, on the West Coast anyway, the original broadcast of the Garfield & Friends segment "The Guy of Her Dreams" was interrupted by a CBS News Special Report on the start of Operation Vigilant Warrior, confusing and infuriating every child watching, made worse by the fact that said episode was not syndicated so they would have to wait for the DVDs to come out 11 years later to see the full cartoon. Garfield, of course, would take it personally, having willingly endured Penelope's singing just to watch himself.

5620: Viridianfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
A strip I did two years ago but never got to release publically until I found the right words to talk about it.
It is based after the game VVVVVV by Terry Caravangh. A close friend got me to play the game and across all the struggles, I managed to at least beat the main story.
Wanted to stick as much true to the game's simple yet-charming artstyle as possible by making Garfield entirely teal aside from his face, in order to match with the protagonist, Captain Viridian. As well as recreating the game's graphics from scratch, such as the floor, and the spikes you're more than guaranteed to fall over.
