5259: Garfield Minus Any Kind of Save Functionality

==Explanation==
In the original comic, Garfield was wearing a costume resembling a giant chocolate chip, and knocking on a cookie jar with the sound effect "NOK NOK". Here, the cookie jar is replaced with Plok, the title character of Plok!, Garfield's costume is recolored to resemble his hood, and the sound effect is changed to "PLOK PLOK".
The claims made about Garfield in the title and author note all apply to Plok!. It is, indeed, a game with no save functionality, and tries to make up for it by having a variety of warps to later stages hidden within the first world - similarly accessed by trying to attack an HP-restoring item. It also has a tie-in comic series, and was remembered more for its soundtrack by Tim Follin.
The alleged Garfield soundtrack linked to in the author note is "Coc' n Rolla" by Begnagrad, which is actually the soundtrack to the infamous fan video Garfielf by PilotRedSun.
==The author writes:==
One obscure trick among Garfield players is to attack the catburger in 1978-06-24 instead of eating it, which takes you to a minigame that warps you to 2022. This allows you to quickly regain lost progress after running out of continues. This is one demonstration of the game's wacky nature, as no-one would ever willingly warp to 2022 in real life.
Of course, if you happen to recognize Garfield, it's probably not for the gameplay, or even the tie-in comic series. What Garfield is really known for is its distinct soundtrack.

5260: Retelling Garfield in 2054

==Explanation==
In the original Awkward Zombie strip, the man is relating the story of the Garrus and Cmdr. Shepard romance cutscene from Mass Effect 2 to his grandchild. Here, it's Square Root of Minus Garfield No. 44: Garfield Retold. The child is unimpressed, either way.

Props to Katie Tiedrich for drawing a pretty good tiny Grandpa silhouette there.

Child: This story is awful, grandpa.

Contrary to the stated credits, this strip is not based on the general Garfield strip for ; it is instead based on a bespoke one-shot edition presumably specific to the Chicago Sun-Times that served as the base for 4222: Lost and Restored, if not that Square Root of Minus Garfield strip itself.

5269: You Redeemed Yourself, Jon (featuring Snoopy from Peanuts)

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I made this edit as a response to SRoMG #5017. Being the diehard Peanuts fan I am, I'd argue there's way worse comic strips to make fun of; heck, I take it the sort of person that blatantly desecrates Charles M. Schulz and tries to get away with it is probably a diehard fan of 9 Chickweed Lane. Or maybe Dilbert. Mallard Fillmore? Or maybe Crankshaft, I dunno...

5270: Legs

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The creator of the previous SRoMG based on this joke took umbrage with the fact that the spider who had to pay an arm and several legs' worth to buy a bouquet still had all his limbs. In the name of accuracy they corrected the strip by removing the arachnid's limbs. However, there's another way to run this jest. Namely keeping the wording identical to the human phrase whilst removing one arm and one leg from the spider. Something a little more difficult to notice, but then Garfield has always been about subtle humor. (In this case so subtle you probably won't notice any funny at all.)
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Spider: What did you get your wife for Valentine's Day, Hank?
Hank: A bouquet of dead gnats
Spider: Wow, that must have cost you plenty!
Hank: Yeah, it did

5274: Shed Dread Minus the Rest of Garfield

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield held up that hair and informed him that it was all he was going to shed that day, leaving Jon to assume that he was going to shed a whole lot more than average to make up for it. Here, the hair is of unknown source, yet its presence makes Jon dread tomorrow anyway.

5275: Garfield minus Pooky plus Pouka

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Destiny 2 introduced players to Pouka in Beyond Light. It only made a very small appearance during a single cutscene, but every time I see it written out I immediately think of Pooky in Garfield, both in terms of their names being fairly similar, but also in the fact that their appearances are actually more limited than people might realize (according to Garfield Wiki, Pooky appears in fewer than 200 comics across its first 14,000 comics (circa 2016)). In this universe, Garfield finds Pouka in 1978 and readers would be able to see it in more than a single cutscene. Though Pouka was included in the Destiny 2: Lightfall Collector's Edition, so maybe it will appear a bit more in-game as well.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Garfield finds Pouka from Destiny 2 in a drawer}
Garfield: Hello, what's this?

{Cough}
==Trivia==
The "in such a manner}" of the third-to-last line was originally omitted from the transcript, with the second-to-last line merging into the rest of the prior line and the final two lines being unintentionally italicised, due to a coding error; this has since been fixed.

==Explanation==

In the original strip, the last panel says that the family dog ate Chuck. That makes no sense. The previous panel said that Org ate Chuck, so how could the dog eat Chuck too? Was the "Chuck" in the last panel supposed to be referring to the cat, and they forgot that the cat was named "Org"? This has always confused me, even as a kid.
