3092: (Tell Me Why) I Don't Like Sundays, or, 31-Day Month of No Sundays

==Explanation==
As this strip is the author's lone credited contribution to Square Root of Minus Garfield to date, the "bad meme" mentioned in the author's notes has very likely still never run; the only way the "bad meme" could have run is if that strip was submitted under a different handle and both that strip and this one were credited as being from different contributors as a result.
==The author writes:==
This is pretty clearly inspired by the previous No Sundays strips (#109, #610, #1028, #1466, #1560, and #2621); I decided to challenge myself to, as my first good submission to SRoMG (I also submitted a bad meme years ago that never got put in the backlog), condense every Sunday strip of 2017 at the time of submission. I feel like I even made a couple of them funnier - number 6 springs to mind.
