2096: New Year's Repetition

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
In the spirit of pointing out recycled jokes, this is probably a special one, the same punchline being used four times, including three times having exactly the same setup. When I read the archives and noticed this lazy gag, inspiration struck and gave me the idea of the poor Odie getting clobbered through the fourth wall repeatedly, never touching the ground, with the "Topspin" strip, which had always been a favourite of mine, being the punchline. It took me a while to get around to making it, though.

2097: Jon Gone

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
It's finally happened. Garfield's campaign of abuse has finally driven Jon out of the house, never to return. And as the days go by, Garfield slowly realises that there is a hole in his life that will not be filled. Now, burdened with strange new feelings of guilt and loneliness, eyes brimming with unshed tears, Garfield can only express himself in the words of early '90s American pop radio. Surely death is a kinder fate.

2098: Mixed Reception

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I bet if I don't reveal what goes into this idea (and why I picked this piece of dialogue), it will take a very long time to figure out. If you don't want to be spoiled, please stop at this paragraph. If you think you figured out, you could compare what you get with the origins of the idea. If not, you could still look at it if you are curious to know. By the way... missing floor in the first panel! It's another example where writing transcripts will make you notice things you wouldn't normally see. (Here's your chance to submit the original with fixed flooring!)
So, when I looked at Garfield and Odie doing this, I immediately thought of Siskel and Ebert, even though I am not exposed to movie critics like them, considering I live outside of America. That doesn't stop me from knowing about them from the internet, so I immediately got the reference while glancing through this comic.
Initially, I wanted to have Jon say what show they're watching based on what the Siskel and Ebert show were called at that time (during 1993, it's called "Siskel & Ebert"), but it would have been an obvious punchline, so I decided on something more obscure based on whatever details I could get from this comic. Firstly, the signals. I think of Odie as Siskel and Garfield as Ebert. The next part is to check a movie where Siskel gave a thumbs down and Ebert gave a thumbs up. It was a bit challenging to search for this, since information wasn't readily available, but that didn't take long to find. Finally, the date. The next challenge is to find a movie that was close to or on the day this comic is published. Luckily, references like this one and this one provided the answer, and it's good timing since that show aired on Saturday. Perhaps the creators were aiming to publish this strip on Saturday, the same day that show aired. With that, the answer was in plain sight: the movie where Siskel thumbed-down and Ebert thumbed-up was Addams Family Values, shown in the Siskel & Ebert show on 20th November 1993 (same day the original was published).
This edit may be simple, but I am proud of the result since several tidbits are well-timed to make this reference an accurate portrayal. Perhaps this is one way Jim Davis avoids contemporary culture, but with the want to make a reference to it.

2099: Nermalevich The World's Cutest Kitten

==Explanation==
This strip is unusual, in that it is simply the name "Garfield" in the Garfield font in black against a white background.
Kazimir Malevich was a Russian painter and art theoretician who was, among other things, the originator of the avant-garde, Suprematist (not to be confused with the ideology of supremacism) movement.
The original quote, which the author paraphrases, is "Instead of drawing the huts of nature’s nooks, better to write ‘Village’ and it will appear to each with finer details and the sweep of an entire village." (Changed words are in bold.)
The title references Nermal, but only to make a punny portmanteau with the name of the artist under consideration.
There is no original strip.
==The author writes:==
Instead of drawing the comic adventures of an orange cat, better to write 'Garfield' and it will appear to each with finer details and the sweep of an entire anthology.
- Kazimir Malevich, Alogmisme 29. Village. I paraphrase, slightly.

209: Odiefield

==Explanation==
The original Garfield font has been replaced with the Garfield font cause the author typed it. Odie is thrilled to see Garfield. Garfield walks past Odie, now their colors swap, so now Odie is now orange like Garfield, while Garfield is now yellow like Odie, Garfield also has a black nose like Odie. Odie doesn't have a pink nose while he is orange. Yellow Garfield says to the readers, "Well, that's new?"

20: Colour-Averaged Garfield: 1978

==Explanation==
Again, this is the color average of every daily Garfield comic from the strip's first year. Compared to McLeish's 2007 average, it looks much more varied, which says something about the comic's decline.
It is impractical to categorize this very article in every Garfield original strip date category excluding Sundays corresponding to 1978. As such, and as this strip does not list any credited Garfield strips whatsoever, this article is not categorized in any Garfield original strip date categories.
==The author says:==
This is the colour average of all the daily Garfield strips published originally in 1978. Compare it to the colour-average of all the strips from 2007. It shows the evolution of colouring and character placement over the years.
==Trivia==
* This strip has no transcript.

2100: Garfthur and N.W.

==Explanation==
This strip, as its title implies and its author's notes partly state, redraws Garfield into an Arthur cosplay and Nermal into a D.W. cosplay, and also slightly adjusts Garfield's line to account for D.W.'s gender as opposed to Nermal's.
The choice of Nermal in the D.W. cosplay highlights an interesting parallel in casting choices of animated adaptations. Nermal in Garfield and Friends was a male character voiced by a female voice actor; later adaptations would give him a male voice actor. D.W. in the Arthur animated series was a female character voiced by multiple male voice actors (there being multiple voice actors in this situation is due to the fact that said voice actors were young boys, and the role would be recast once the boys aged out of being able to do the role); in only a single segment was she portrayed by a female voice actor, that segment being a portion of the finale that portrayed D.W. as an adult.
==The author writes:==
Prolific Garfield theorist manyhills won an Arthur-identifying contest I was running and requested, as his prize, I draw Arthur as Garfield and submit it here. This is the result.
This particular Garfield strip intrigued me because I see so much of D.W. in Nermal here and so much of Arthur in Garfield's frustration with Nermal. I invite you to read Nermal's lines with D.W.'s voice in your head.
I am also parodying Arthur, by Marc Brown.

{Nermal, who has features of D.W. Read, is talking to Garfield, who has features of Arthur Read}

Nermal: You must be very, very wise.

Garfield: I wonder if anyone will miss her?

2105: Voice Actors Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip essentially substitutes any mention of the names of Garfield characters with the first names of their corresponding voice actors in Garfield and Friends; to further the allusion, the original Garfield strip used fell within the run of Garfield and Friends. The author's notes initially make an allusion to the nature of the editing done to the original Garfield strip, and also make note of other roles Gregg Berger and Thom Huge did in Garfield and Friends; the same was not done for Lorenzo Music primarily due to the fact that his other roles besides Garfield himself were very minor roles.
==The author writes:==
For those who know their voice actors, the name in the final panel is about as subtle as Garfield's little reminder here. But I'll start with the first one.
Gregg is Gregg Berger, the voice of Odie. He's also Floyd, Orson, and the Announcer in the opening sequence.
Thom is Thom Huge, the voice of Jon. He's also Binky the clown, Bobby Buddy Bear, Roy Rooster, and Gort.
And, of course, Lorenzo is the late Lorenzo Music.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Garfield opens a box as Odie stands with his arms out.}
Garfield: That's right. Stay just like that, Gregg.

Two changes, and both the joke and the context of the scene are changed. (And, no, Garfield, this is a folk song. Country songs are currently about beer, hot girls, and pickup trucks, and even back when they weren't, they were more focused on storytelling and small details then Jon's song here.)

2107: Real Negative Jon's Donut

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Submission #1967 did an interesting "reverse ending" but a true negative of Jon's donut would surely be made of antimatter. In physics antiparticles are so indicated by drawing a line over the usual particle symbol, hence the change on the sign. The donut is already starting to glow as its mass annihilates with the matter in the room. Shortly after the strip ends Jon's house, neighbourhood, and state are wiped off the map in a blinding flash of pure energy.

2108: Garfield Minus Ledge

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
As has been established before, most Garfield comics nowadays feature some sort of ledge. Typically this provides something for Garfield and Jon to lean on, a place to rest plates, coffee cups, etc., or to hide the fact that, next to Jon, Garfield couldn't nearly be as tall as he is shown. Even with all these in mind, the ledge is still shown in a few comics where it really doesn't need to be there. Thus, this comic.

2111: Armchair Warrior

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Evidently this is an old armchair, from before the use of nitroglycerin in furniture was banned. In a twist of fate, Garfield blows himself to bits through relatively mild misbehavior. Dark humour indeed, but the proximity of the scratching post to the armchair raises questions.
Jon presumably put the post there so that Garfield would claw it rather than the chair - but was it for the chair's safety or Garfield's? Was Jon not aware that the chair might be explosive? If he was, why didn't he get a new one? Did he think that the post would be cheaper than a new armchair, and that with it in position, Garfield would never ever be tempted to take a swipe at the chair? This is possible, because Jon's behaviour is often incredibly naive. And yet, Jon also likes to set traps for Garfield. Electrified cookie jars, seemingly unguarded plates of food, etc. So there is a darker possibility: that Jon set a death trap for his buddy, and Garfield plunged straight in. And, somewhere, Jon hears the explosion and smirks with satisfaction.
Yet another possibility is that I just wanted an excuse to use the POW! panel, and have deliberately confused nitroglycerin with asbestos for that purpose.

2112: The Art of the Dress

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield and Liz's fear was Jon's gaudy new sweater sporting a bunch of different clashing patterns.
Here, it's more subdued, but made up of pixels that are shades of blue and yellowish-gray; Jon scares them by asking what color it is. The question, of course, is faulty in that it asks for a single color when there's clearly more than one. The "color" is based on a dress that went viral in February 2015 - a girl posted a picture of it on Tumblr asking whether it was blue and black or white and gold (thanks to the lighting creating an odd optical illusion of sorts), and the question became a heated matter of debate. (For the record, it's official blue and black.)
The strip shares its name (give or take "the") with a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic song, featured in the episode "Suited For Success".
==The author writes:==
This, of course, is based on this baffling dress.
I'm curious to know what colour our readers see this dress as being.

2119: Garfield Would Like To Solve The Puzzle Now

==Explanation==

For many years now, Pat Sajak has hosted the American version of Wheel of Fortune, a game show where contestants basically spin a big wheel and play Hangman. In the bonus round, the final contestant is given the letters RSTLNE (plus three consonants and a vowel of his or her choice) in order to guess the final word or phrase. I have chosen to omit only those letters rather than include only them, for better readability.
I like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! both, but with both being so iconic and running for so long, it's natural to imagine that a rivalry has sprung up between them.
