214: Garfield at 56kbps

==Explanation==
This strip was probably chosen because of Jon's statement that fishing is slow today.
Other than that, this edit is probably explained well-enough in the author's note.
==The author writes:==
I remember the old days when I, like many other clueless Internet users, used America Online. Among their internalised features was the ability to find shared images and download them. A download could look a lot like this, especially if it was a very high-resolution image being downloaded on a 56k modem (or even slower...). Nowadays, the images that would crash then will download to modern computers with fast connections in about a second or two. Just imagine, in a decade or two, we could have connections that load YouTube videos in nanoseconds.
This is just a throwback to the days where AOL had its iron grip on us all, gas cost less than a dollar and I still read Garfield for the humour of the strip itself instead of looking for inspiration for surreal remixes.

2152: Richard Shermanfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Not sure if anyone has done this, but this is an obvious parody of the over-the-top interview Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman gave to FOX Sports' sideline reporter Erin Andrews after his game-saving pass deflection led to the game-icing INT as the Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers; 23-17. Jon is playing the role of Michael Crabtree, the guy on the other end of the rant.
Original strip: .

Michael Jon Crabtree: Garfield is a bad cat...
"Garfield Sherman interrupts, "breaks the 4th wall"}
Garfield Sherman: I'm the best cat in comics! Don't you ever talk about me!

2153: Carry on Wayward Cat

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield follows up his first yawn with "For those who just came in, here's what you missed." This is, of course, followed by another yawn.
This version instead references the famous CW series Supernatural, which concerns two brothers who repeatedly tangle with paranormal entities. In its earlier seasons, the series would occasionally have extended recap sequences preceded by a title card reading "The Road So Far", as shown here. (The title refers to the song used during said sequences - "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas.) Both these and the regular recap sequences would subsequently conclude with another card reading "Now". Finally, it should be noted that Supernatural's title card changes every season -- the red "Garfield" card here most closely resembles the one used in the fourth season.
==The author writes:==
Why hasn't someone other than me done a strip referencing Supernatural yet?

After the controversial strip #1971, I've decided to make as close a recreation of it as possible as according to the transcript. I couldn't complete the original author's signature nor the copyright text as I have no way possible of knowing what he intended, so I left that as is.

2155: Garfield Minus Gluttony

==Explanation==
This is a simple edit -- Odie's pupils have been redrawn to focus on Garfield's giant lasagna, thus making it seem like Odie is the glutton, while Garfield is showing off a normal-sized lasagna, a notion supported by the author's notes below.
==The author writes==
Funny how shifting a few pixels makes Garfield an entirely different kind of guy. Is he actually submitting to a diet for once?
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Odie is looking at a massive lasagna.}
Garfield: That's not a lasagna, mate. This is a lasagna!
{Garfield is pointing to a regular sized lasagna.}

2157: Set to Comic Strip

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield's remote only causes static to appear in the middle panel. Here, though, it momentarily switches the "channel" to Calvin and Hobbes instead.
Worth noting is that an earlier strip did the same thing with Funky Winkerbean (as the author's note wonders), and another contributor has remarked upon the similarities.

2159: A Star's War

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This is based on the controversy over the unpopular editing of a mundane conflict in Star Wars that left many long devoted fans upset at George Lucas' attempt at revisionist history and trying to "improve" upon his mistakes. I noticed the similarity, and thought it was appropriate.
DanielBT: This is actually my first collaboration with another SRoMG contributor, since I lacked the confidence and motivation to photoshop a consistent Greedo head for the majority of the panels. I was rather impressed with Edwin Chee's comics and forum commentary, and asked for his contact info since his sense of humour was close to mine. It took several back and forth edits before I was satisfied with the results. I've always been more of a better writer than artist, so I'm grateful for his help.
Edwin Chee: This is also my first collaboration with another SRoMG contributor (a few previous ones were just ideas suggested by other users). I am not well-versed with Star Wars besides the general things people know (such as Darth Vader being related to Luke Skywalker), so the Greedo thing is news to me. It does not matter when it comes to this collaboration, since I didn't need to understand all that to make this edit. Daniel's knowledge in matters like this and the approach in which he conveys them is something I admire, so it's a pleasure to collaborate with him.
Original strip: .

{Jon and Garfield are minding their own businesses on a park bench}
{A lady walks in while holding her pet with a Greedo's head}
Garfield: Oh no!

2165: Lord Helix

==Explanation==
This strip turns the original Garfield strip into a reference to Twitch Plays Pokémon, an Internet experiment of questionable legality (said legality being poked fun at in iToons 802: Pearls Museum of Pokémon History); as such, the flag has been reworked to depict an Omastar, which gained notoriety during the first run of Twitch Plays Pokémon (a runthrough of Pokémon Red) dating back to its time in the mob's item storage as a Helix Fossil, ultimately leading to its status as Twitch Plays Pokémon mascot and the moniker of "Lord Helix".

2166: Smarfield

==Explanation==
This strip is a reference to Too Many Cooks, an Adult Swim short which parodies various 1980's television series. Its major gimmick is its innumerable amount of cast members, including the crude cat puppet, Smarf. Eventually, the short takes a much darker turn as a machete killer begins murdering everyone in sight. Really, it's extremely bizarre. In addition, the song itself lasts 11 minutes, including random shifts in genre, which, as the author has demonstrated with the strip with Jon cringing listening to ear-piercing "music," can prove to be nauseating.
==The author writes==
"Too Many Cooks" is a short that aired as part of Adult Swim's Infomercials series. It is a parody of various 80's TV series... Well, "parody" is putting it lightly. It starts out as such, but then verges into abyssal levels of insanity. Don't take my word for it: Here's the whole thing, in all its mind-screwing glory.
Original strip: .

2169: Arbucklean Cat: Garfield Rocks

==Explanation==
The premise of the strip itself is well-explained in the author's notes.
==The author writes:==
For my most ambitious edit so far, I decided, hey, there've been a few strips referencing My Little Pony: the current series, its fan fiction, even an earlier series. But so far I hadn't (as of the date of submission) seen one referencing either movie.
This is an attempt to rectify that.
I took one panel from each comic, trying not to use the same comic twice in the same SRoMG strip, erased all but one word of dialogue from each, and put them together to make the first part of the lyrics to the opening theme of Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. Why didn't I go further in the song? Well, the word "rainbow" occurs only once so far, and it's bad enough I had to kludge it to get its second occurrance in the song. I had to do similarly with "friendship", as it had not yet occurred as of the date I searched for it.

216: "I Wanna be the Garfield" by Square Root of Castlevania

==Explanation==
The Castlevania entry referred to is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. In this strip, Jon takes Richter's dialogue while Garfield has Dracula's lines. In the game, Dracula continues by answering his own question: "A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk... Have at you!" At this point in the cutscene, Dracula throws his wine glass, but as it's a cutscene, Richter is unharmed. Here, the conversation is cut short, and Garfield's "wine glass" is a dish of cat food.
The incredibly hard freeware game I Wanna Be The Guy also includes this scene, but plays with it a bit: for one thing, the glass is now one of the many things that kill you if it touches you, but on the other hand, it's now incumbent upon you to dodge it. Players expecting cutscene invulnerability quickly learn that it doesn't apply here, leading to a Game Over, as shown here.
==The author writes:==
Original Idea by Lucas EB2.
Executed by Hyruleboy.
This one is using the famous "what is a man" conversation from Castlevania, which was also used the really hard freeware game, I Wanna be the Guy, which is where the game over screen was ripped, and it might take playing that game to get the punchline.

2170: Another Reason to Have Adblock

==Explanation==
This strip takes part of a dream sequence from a Garfield and Friends episode and depicts it as a parody of the memetic "Doctors Hate Him" scam ads. The author's notes tend to cover the key details that make the strip tick.
==The author writes:==
Just to get this out of the way before someone nitpicks, the error present* is intentional. Since this is a parody of a scam ad, it would make sense why a mistake exists.
*In "Fair Exchange", Jon and Garfield have a dream where their roles are swapped; Garfield is Jon and Jon is, for some reason**, a bowtie-wearing Garfield (albeit they keep their own heads). Jon's head doesn't become Garfield's.
**Seriously , was an explanation given for why Jon-as-Garfield wore a bowtie? Was it to keep his head attached to Garfield's body? Seriously, why was he wearing a bowtie?***
***Okay, whoever just said "Because bowties are cool!", go stand in the corner.

2172: Not Much Room To Talk Backfield

==Explanation==
This comic discards the 3-panel limitation in order to make Garfield slow and the snail fast. This is achieved by starting with an empty thought balloon, giving each word in Garfield's assertion its own panel, and making Garfield fail to react immediately after, while the snail says his entire phrase in one panel, immediately as Garfield stops.
==The author writes:==
So my thought was, "What if it was Garfield who was slow?" So here, his thought takes an extra panel to truly get going, each word takes up its own panel, and when the snail has responded, Garfield takes a beat panel to realize that the snail, by contrast, was ready to think-speak as soon as Garfield was done, and thought all four words in one panel.

2174: The Slow Path

==Explanation==
This is a meta-joke about the strip buffer; usually, most strips are submitted several months before actually appearing on the site. (For example, #1857 was submitted in early March of 2014 and got published on June 19th. Note, however, that the exact time varies depending on the preexisting load, type of strip, etc.) "The Slow Path" is a reference to a method of time-traveling to the future: simply waiting to get there, as Garfield is doing here.
As for the description, the Celebrity Deathmatch episode in question ends with a fight between the Three Stooges and the Three Tenors (who were still in the limelight in 1999). The former trio are brought to the present with a time machine operated by resident scientist "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, which remains in the ring as the fight begins. The quote comes from Moe, shortly after luring Plácido Domingo into the time machine and shortly before aging him into the next century - leaving just a skeleton which quickly falls apart.
