2121: Garfield on Twitter Revised

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
In response to Adam Klimowski's original strip, I have made a few alterations to it:
1. The main point of this edit is to replace the censored Twitter avatars next to the Retweets and Favorites with fake avatars. They represent Garfields from previous SRoMG strips:
*8-Bit Garfield, from No. 21: NESfield
*Impressionist Garfield, from No. 188: Impressionist Garfield
*Replaced Garfield, from No. 221: Replaced
*Zalgo-Possessed Garfield, from No. 578: Zalgo Garfield 2
*Square Root Hue Garfield, from No. 849: Square Root of Minus Garfield's Hue
*Pastel Optimist Garfield, from No. 1061: Art as Garfield as Art
*Game Boy Garfield, from No. 1156: Game Boy Garfield
And of course, , who's just barely visible.
2. Adam's dialogue rewrite in the final panel removed the emphasis on the word "everything", which I've restored.

==Trivia==
It is presumed that 2001-11-28 was not intended to be directly credited as an original strip credit; the remnants of the old credit system do not list it. It is likely that the transition between crediting systems looked over the entire author's notes, rather than just the coding corresponding to the old crediting system, noticed a (now-busted) link to the 2001-11-28 strip in the author's notes proper, and treated it as an original strip credit in the current crediting system accordingly.

2122: Garfield Plus Actual Name of Fear

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
After looking at lists of fears, it comes as no surprise to me that the fear of sweat - actually the fear of excessive sweating - is a real fear, or that it has a name. In fact, the only surprise is that it doesn't have the usual "-phobia" ending. Cursory research (consisting of looking at the Google results page without clicking links) suggests that people have gotten over it somehow; if you actually have this condition or know someone who does, well, it's something to look into further than I did.

Jon: Garfield, you sleep too much.
Garfield: I have a condition.
Jon: And there's a name for that.
Garfield: "Hypothermosis."
Jon: Lazy!

2123: I Smell a Lawsuit

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
So I was hitting "Random comic" on the Garfield site until I came across this gem... And it occurred to me, wouldn't it be against the law to include a photograph of someone in something without their consent? I hardly believe Garfield is a celebrity in the Garfield universe, and as such, the line from the infamous Grafield comic came to mind...

2125: Keeping Up

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Admin note: The above strip was submitted by Andrew Askew. At almost the same time, I received the following variation on the same idea, submitted by bigyihsuan, who writes: "I couldn't resist. It seems to be a running gag around here, isn't it, with the frozen pudding pops?"

==Transcript==
Jon: It's hard to keep up with all the changes in the world.
Garfield: I hear you
Garfield: You should do what I do...
Garfield: Worry about the frozen pudding pops supply!
==Trivia==
There is a visual disagreement between the remnants of the old crediting system and the current crediting system on the strip's page on Square Root of Minus Garfield itself; the latter is the one that was recreated on this very wiki page in order to avoid redundancy. 2014-11-12 is undisputed; the old crediting system visually states , whereas the current crediting system visually states 2011-11-28. Complicating matters is the old crediting system's mention of 2001-11-28 actually linking to a now-busted link that once led to 2011-11-28; the actual link was what was picked up in the transition between crediting systems and credited in the current system accordingly. One of the dates of either 2001-11-28 or 2011-11-28 is an error; however, it is currently unknown which one.

2129: Without Me

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Upon seeing the original strip, I came up with two things that could've improved it:
1. It being longer, and it being made clear what Jon's ringtone was.
2. And then I got the idea to listen to some music at 2:30ish AM...
Original strip: .

212: (Re)create with Garfield!

==Explanation==
This is a recreation of a computer-related strip in the 1986 Commodore 64 software Create with Garfield! Unsurprisingly, the end result is kind of a trainwreck, as the author clearly fought against the game's limitations - the most important of which is that there is only one font available, completely destroying the joke of the original (wherein Garfield's burp is rendered in a font similar to the Westminster typeface, generally associated with early computers).
==The author writes:==
My idea was to see how easy it would be to recreate a Garfield comic strip in the "Create with Garfield!" comic maker for the Commodore 64. Well, I quickly found that the highly limited prop and pose selection and the user-hostile interface made it nigh impossible. I've managed this one, three screenshots stitched together, that manages to completely torpedo the joke due to the single available font if you're not using canned text.
In the process I found it was far easier to create one-panel scenes of bloodless decapitation and betrayal than it was to do anything with a punch line. Judging by the saved images on my old floppy disks, I had realised precisely this when I was a kid, too.

2132: Swapped Dialogue Firsts

==Explanation==
The author's notes tend to explain this strip's premise. The author opted to show two approaches to deal with the difference in the number of lines between the original strips; the main feature kept Garfield's line in the 1978 third panel in place, where the alternate feature had Jon's 1978 third-panel line stay put.
==The author writes:==
So I got this idea to swap the dialogue of the and the first Square Root of Minus Garfield strip. The toughest part was fitting the flea's new dialogue into a thought bubble originally intended for six words. (Admittedly, one of those words was "neighborhood", but most of the rest were short.)
There was also the difficulty of figuring out what to do when one strip has three bits of dialogue and the other has four; which do I swap with? As you can see, I elected to do both:
Original strips: , .
==Transcript==
Jon: Hello, I'm a flea.
Garfield: Excuse me just a moment.
Jon: Have we dynamite?
Garfield: Feed me.
Flea: Hi, there...I'm Jon Arbuckle. I'm a cartoonist and this is my cat, Garfield.
Garfield: Hi, there. I'm Garfield. I'm a cat. And this is my cartoonist, Jon.
Garfield: Our only thought is to entertain you.

Jon: How long will he be in that body cast, Doc?
Liz: About a week.
Garfield: I could've guessed as much.
==Trivia==
The 1994-07-10 strip was presumably not intended to be actually be credited; it was given a credit in the current crediting system due to the method of transitioning between the old and current crediting systems looking over the entire author's notes, instead of just the code corresponding to the old crediting system (which only listed the 1980 strips), and interpreting a link in the author's notes proper as if it were a strip credit.

==Explanation==
This strip takes three copies of the first panel of the 2003 original Garfield strip, then transplants the dialogue of the 1979 original Garfield strip into the ensuing setup, in a manner reminiscent of the "Garfield in 2053" running gag.
==The author writes:==
Based on Garfield in 2053. Garfield was never good, but it is a lot more static now than it used to be. So I took a strip from 1979 and recreated it as it would look like had it been written today.

213: All-Star Garfield and Odie The Wonder Dog

==Explanation==
Frank Miller's notorious "All Star Batman And Robin" features the line, said by Batman, "What, are you dense? Are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think I am? I'm the Goddamn Batman", a line widely mocked for (among other things) being both stupid even by comic book standards, and being wildly out of character for non-Frank-Miller-written versions of Batman. The author's comment further establishes this as a jab at Miller by mentioning the excessively long delays associated with ASBAR.
==The author writes:==
Garfield, as written (mostly) by Frank Miller. The next comic will likely be out sometime in the next decade or so.
While I did come up with the idea for this before I read Colin Foster's Frank Miller's Garfield, I still feel kudos is in order for travelling along the same thought train (and beating me to the punch). Even if we were sitting in different cars.

2142: Garfield Minus One Dollar, or, "Jon Pays The Correct Amount" Edition

==Explanation==
This one is somewhat subtle. In the original, Jon pulls out three bills to pay for Garfield and himself to get tickets to see the sideshow, when tickets are clearly one dollar each. The only way he'd need that third bill is if they were all a weird denomination, such as two-thirds of a dollar. This strip fixes that by having Jon pull out the correct number of bills to begin with, thus saving the ticketmaster from having to hand him back a bill he just handed her.
The author suggests that there are other ways to fix this strip. Perhaps we'll see them in the future.
Presumably, the "dinosaur" he found in this strip was the mention of the dinosaur boy.
==The author writes:==
I was looking for "dinosaur"s. I found this.
Ever notice how Jon tries to pay for two $1 tickets... with three bills? What, are they 66.6...-cent bills? "Save your money," indeed; don't pay a dollar more than the asking price!
There are, of course, other ways to fix this... but I leave them to others.

2144: My Pulse Will Be Quickenin'

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield's last line was "Help me!" Here, it becomes obvious that Jon has poisoned him with strychnine, providing a whole new dimension to both his uncontrollable smile and Jon's smirk. (The title is a line from the Tom Lehrer song "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park", which explicitly mentions strychnine.)
==The author writes:==
To quote the Royal Society of Chemistry:
The symptoms of strychnine poisoning are unmistakeable: the patient has violent convulsions and contortions, notably arching of the back, while the jaw muscles can contract, leaving the victim with a fixed grin.
Not to pat myself on the back too much, but I love how this dialogue edit changes the context of Jon's facial expression in the last panel.
