343: Garfield Undergoes Chickification

==Explanation==
The late -- but still alive when this Square Root of Minus Garfield strip was published -- Jack Chick was an author of Christian tracts. He founded Chick Publications, which continues making said tracts.
"Rock Me Amadeus" is a song recorded by the Austrian musician Falco, who also wrote it with Dutch music producers Bolland & Bolland.
The author believes that such an image of Garfield would contrast with the image he presents of himself; the Jon in this strip seems to agree.
The original context of the first panel is of Jon asking Garfield why he doesn't catch mice; the panel contains one of Garfield's answers, sarcastic or not.
The original context of the second panel is the boy showing examples of what his teacher told him are great for a Halloween sacrifice. It takes place during a time in which the World Court has basically outlawed certain Christian beliefs.
The original context of the last panel is Jon being surprised at Garfield's pantomime of why he wants to go to the North Pole. (As it turns out, it's for the penguins, which don't even live there.)
The disclaimer ends with a remark indicating that any parody regarding Chick tracts would be redundant, due to several controversial positions that these tracts present as truth.
The title makes a pun with the trope Chickification, in which an Action Girl gradually sees less action in the field, to appeal to a demographic that executives think find Action Girls to be a point against buying their comics or watching their shows. It has nothing to do with Chick tracts, as said on the trope page.
==The author writes:==
I was browsing some Jack Chick tracts (whilst listening to "Rock Me Amadeus", natch) and, coming across the middle panel, I realised that a picture of a fuzzy kitten playing with a ball of yarn is possibly the most incriminating a photo of Garfield could be. 
This utilises elements from Garfields and and the Jack Chick tract "The Last Generation". 
The use of the Garfield strip in the first panel has a veritable pedigree of two strips thus far (Gracefield and Minus Garfield). 
(The middle panel is copyright Jack Chick, and is used here only as a vehicle for parody. Like we need to.)
==Transcript==
Jon: What power does he have over you?
Garfield: Tiny little incriminating photographs.
Kid: {holding up a photo of a cute kitten playing with a ball of yarn, and a cute puppy} And of Odie too!
{Jon is gobsmacked}

3440: Donut Infighting

==Explanation==
This happened in the rest of the Donut Wars strips. 
Here, Paul McCartney ate the donut, leaving only a trail of crumbs behind with a sign saying "George and Ringo ate" and a sign below it saying "John's Donut".
==The author writes:==
The real reason why The Beatles broke up, revealed at last! Delightfully devilish, McCartney. 
Unfortunately, the images are... just a *bit* anachronistic. Paul's from the early mop-top days, while John seems to be from the solo era. I went with whatever photos I could find that had the most fitting facial expression, and this is what I got. It's a joke comic, so it's probably fine. 
As a side note, John's hair was a pain to deal with, and I'm honestly surprised it turned out as well as it did. 
Originally I was going to have Paul pin the crime on Yoko, and John would have said "Not buying it, Ringo!". This left George out of the equation, though, so I decided to rewrite.

3441: Garfield is a cat

==Explanation==
There was an error in the third panel. Jon said "boy" instead of cat. Here, the author fixed it because Garfield is a cat.

{Garfield gestures at a pizza box on the table, presumably one that they have just eaten the pizza from}
Jon: What?... Oh yeah, sure

3442: You could have it all, my empire of carpet

==Explanation==
The author couldn't help but think of the old Empire Carpet commercials and their jingle when seeing the original strip.
The picture of Lynn Hauldren is from The Empire Today website.
==Transcript==
Mouse {holding a flag with a picture of Lynn Hauldren on it}: I declare this house property of Empire Carpet!
{mouse walks away, still holding flag}
Jon {singing}: 800-588-2300, Empire...
Garfield: Today!
==The author writes:==
I can't help it. Every time I see the word "Empire", my mind automatically goes to the old Empire Carpet commercials and their insanely catchy jingles.

3443: Infinity Gauntfield

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield snaps his fingers just because he forgot to go jogging this morning. He and Odie laugh about it which make Jon look at the reader, surprised.
Here, he snaps his fingers with the Infinity Gauntlet, making Odie disintegrate, and Jon worried, possibly knowing about Odie's recent demise.
==The author writes:==
In the 2015-05-07 strip, Garfield snaps his fingers in the first panel. Naturally, I decided to turn this into an Infinity War reference. Now I just hope that somebody else didn't beat me to the punch. [Sorry -Ed]

3446: Equalfield

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Liz was speaking some gibberish that Jon never understands.
==The author writes:==
The original strip takes a somewhat uninventive jab at the 'women are inscrutable' trope. As a woman I've found that really it's people in general who are nuts. Since author Redgreen has challenged us to use various languages, this is a submission in the language of common sense. 
(For you Gender Studies majors out there, note that I replaced all of Liz's dialog with rearranged letters from men's speech balloons.)

3447: Traumatized Pooky

==Explanation==
The author mashed these two strips together to create a story, since they were consecutive and involved the same characters. He even changed Garfield's line from "Pooky needs me" to "Monday was really traumatic".
==The author writes:==
Hurled from the relative safety and comfort of bed to face the fear his best friend will not, Pooky found himself alone in the midst of a looming Monday. What terrors lay on the outside? No one can say. Only Pooky knows, and he's not telling. Because he doesn't have a mouth. Most of the time.

Garfield: My fear of Mondays is really childish
Garfield: I must learn to face them like a man

Garfield: Oh, very well. I'll hold you

3448: Pounding A Joke Into The Ground With An Obvious Fourth Panel

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon and Garfield are looking up, seeing the house clean. Garfield tells Jon not to look down.
Here, in the fourth panel, Garfield turns to the camera, tired of the punchline "We're Bachelors, Baby".
==The author writes:==
For some reason, I feel the need to pound both this joke and this punchline into the ground, so here you go. (Note that I didn't use smiling Garfield in my new panel because I suspect even Garfield is tired of the punchline now.)

3449: So This Happened

==Explanation==
The bulk of this submission consists of a Twitter post by James Colley (@jamcolley), who tweeted it in February 2018. Among the replies are the official Garfield Twitter account tweeting a quip about "saying the M word" on a Sunday (though the original Tweet was posted on a Saturday, so it's evident that the reply was posted the following day); another handle, "Bad Garfield Fan Art," replying with a strip about Garfield uncharacteristically enjoying a Monday morning; still another user replying that "that garfield is a fake" [sic]; and Odie's account replying "Ri runno" à la Scooby-Doo. Colley's original post is an example of headcanon.
==The author writes:==
I see a lot of stuff like this on Twitter all the time, but I've never seen Garfield and Odie join in on the conversation! 
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{A Twitter post, with replies under it.}
Colley: Garfield is a cat and doesn't have a job. The only ostensible difference between Monday and any other day is that Jon suddenly isn't around after having been home all weekend. Garfield doesn't hate Mondays, he loves Jon and is too proud to say it.
{Official Garfield account sees thread and replies in character}
Garfield: I'm terribly busy napping. Must we all be saying the "M" word on Sunday? 
{Odie account replies to Garfield, also in character} 
Odie: Moo?
Bad Garfield Fan Art: Please explain yourself, Garfield. {posts picture of strip}
SFX: bring!
Garfield {in strip}: Oh, goody. It's Monday morning. I love Monday mornings. You know why? Because I don't have to go to work.
Despacito: that garfield is a fake
{down below, Odie and another user are still trying to figure out what the "M-word" is}
TheShortKid: What is the M word by the way?
Odie: Ri runno.

344: The Necronomicon

==Explanation==
The Necronomicon was a non-existent book featured in the works of H.P. Lovecraft and his followers, starting with "The Hound". A number of publishers have since published many books called The Necronomicon after the fact.
A number of Lovecraft's works contain a Great Old One called Cthluhu, whose name is given to the mythos from which he comes. He is often depicted as having a head not too dissimilar from an octopus, with tentacles coming from around his mouth. Thus, an image of an octopus in a strip the author made while not using any outside sources is apt.
The original contexts:
# Jon proceeds to ask if Garfield knows how they killed their enemies; Garfield snarks that they gave them a ball of yarn to play with, as he himself is tangled in one.
# Garfield attempts to dissuade Jon from stomping a spider, because he wanted to do that.
# Revealed to be a dream precipitated by Odie's tongue resting on his head.
==The author writes:==
This is the closest actual Lovecraftian interpretation I can get within the bounds of Garfield strips, using: , , .

3452: Garflat

==Explanation==
The first word is "fussy", and the second one is "fubsy".
==The author writes:==
A puzzle by me, originally published in The Enigma, the magazine of America's Puzzlers' League. The puzzle is of a rather recherché type called a "flat", hence the title. What does it mean? OK, this is going to require a little bit of explanation. 
Basically, you're aiming to find two words, both five letters long, linked by the fact that you can make one word in the other by changing its third letter (and obviously vice versa). That's what THIRD-LETTER CHANGE (5) means. 
Now, there are lots of word pairs that fit that description, like water/wafer, dulce/dunce, and so on. That's why there's a little poem as well: it indicates something about the meaning of the two words by showing how they might be used in context, so that you can nail down the correct answers. "But he's not a WATER eater, which makes him rather WAFER"? That doesn't make any sense at all. It must be a different pair. "But he's not a DULCE eater, which makes him rather DUNCE"? That's still obviously not right. 
I'll cop to this: one of the words is not in very common use, and it's frankly generous of neither the Oxford English Dictionary nor Merriam-Webster to mark it as 'obsolete'. Hopefully the other is obvious enough that you can work it out anyway - after all, once you have one word, there are only 25 possibilities for the remaining word... 
Oh, and by the way, they're called flats because you can write the solution on one flat line - as opposed to, say, a crossword puzzle, where your answers would usually be in a 2D grid. 
Original strip: none.

345: The Garfield Conspiracy

==Explanation==
This strip's author's note parodies many conspiracy theories by presenting cherry-picked evidence that the seeds of Square Root of Minus Garfield were planted by the Comic Irregulars themselves 20-30 years before Square Root of Minus Garfield came along. The strip singles out three panels:
# One in which Odie, having been kicked by Garfield in the previous panel, falls on a banana, squirting the fruit out of its skin and into his mouth. The "sq" and "rt" have been circled in red by the author, and bolded in the transcript.
# One in which a hot dog, having been greased by Garfield prior to the first panel, squirts out of the bun, and is caught by Garfield. Again, the "sq" and "rt" have been circled in red by the author, and bolded in the transcript.
# One in which Garfield, having attempted to get up, finds he's taken root. Though not called out, the "root" part is clearly the focus here.
"sqrt" is a common function name in computer programming, which tells the computer to take the square root of the argument. As "square root", and by extension "root", are part of the name of the webcomic, this is presented as evidence for the purported conclusion.
==The author writes:==
Ladies and Gentlemen! 
You probably believe that Square Root of Minus Garfield started as a mashup project by the Comic Irregulars in November 2008. Nothing could be farther from the truth! 
New, disturbing evidence implies that by manipulating key events for more than 30 years, the Comic Irregulars' actions led to the creation of Garfield, setting up the stage for the webcomic you are reading now. 
Although these individuals waited with the patience of a glacier for decades, even they have limits, and decided to slip a few hints of their nefarious plan along the way. 
As you can see, with the right panels selected, and the right emphasis applied this conspiracy becomes crystal clear!
