5227: Oat fish

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
when I read today's comic (at the time of creation and submission) my "just woke up half an hour ago" brain, having never heard of the word oafish before, repeatedly autocorrected it to "oat fish"; when I realised that's NOT what the comic says, I just found it funny enough to turn it into a strip and show the public how much of a doofus I am

{Jon starts scrolling down}

Phone text: And the waiter was unattentive and oat fish.
{Jon pauses upon reading "oat fish"}
{Cut to Garfield typing on his phone next to his empty food bowl}
Jon: OATFISH?!
Garfield {typing}: Also touchy.

5228: Odie's Least Favorite Dog Story

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
For context, there's a couple of pages in an old Garfield magazine containing what is purportedly Odie's "favorite dog story". The story is called "Greyfriars Bobby", and it is about a dog named Bobby whose human friend, Old Jock, passes away. Bobby, despite the protests of the townspeople, stands guard by his grave and becomes a local celebrity of some sort. He eventually succumbs to death as well and is buried alongside Old Jock. It's a beautiful, rather poignant story.
There's just one small problem. I don't believe the person who compiled the annual did their research.
Odie would be traumatized by this. Two characters die in it. He would read it once and then would want nothing to do with it, ever again.
"But, author," you say, "we as humans watch fictional characters die all the time and we usually aren't traumatized by it. Why would he be?"
As someone who is well-versed in Garf lore, let me explain. Odie is just a puppy and, on top of that, is extremely empathetic. In an episode of the cartoon, he burst into tears when a prince in a fairy tale Garfield was reading lamented that the woman of her dreams would not marry him because she was a commoner, and then flat-out gave up on the story when the same woman passed out from eating poisoned spaghetti, having to be persuaded by Garfield to come back in and hear the rest. With that being said, it's not out of the question that a story in which characters actually die would leave poor Odie with nightmares for a long, long time.
So I drew this. I hope you all enjoy it.

5230: Spy x Garfield 3

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Yes, Yor is short for Yolanda, a common name of Eastern European stock. The swapping of an "L" for an "R" is due to the Japanese affection for swapping "L" sounds for "R" sounds, hence Yor instead of Yol, which is perfect for all those Yor Mama jokes.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Loid Forgerbuckle: By the way, Thorn Princess, what's your name?
Yor Wilson: Yor
Loid Forgerbuckle: Gee, what a pretty name. Is that short for Yolanda?
Yor Wilson: No. It's short for Yor Mama

==Explanation==

5233: 2023 Cats' Guild of America Strike

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Replace the spider with Hollywood execs and studios, cats with writers, actors and other Hollywood employees, Garfield with the unions striking, robo-cats with AI, and the spider class with social media, and it's basically a reflection of real life. Yeah, I made this as a response to the studios' continuing idiocy in the wake of the (as I write this) ongoing strike. Even though it'll be irrelevant if the strike is over by the time this is published, but still.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Garfield holds a newspaper in front of a spider. Jim Davis' name and the original strip's date are shown}
Spider: I'm letting this strike go on until all the cats are demoralized enough to give in

{Cut to a spider teacher teaching a group of spider students in a classroom, after Garfield struck the spider with the newspaper}

5240: Garfield Minus Jon Plus Carmelita Fox Minus Liz Plus Sly Cooper

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
When I saw the strip for today, which was the 20th anniversary of Sly Cooper, and came across the last line, I suddenly realized that it would work way better with Sly than it did for Liz. After all, why would Liz parkour away from the house just because Jon went shirtless? And thus my homage begun.
As for why Sly is sneaking around and why he escapes when Carmelita says she'll never "love" him, or what "love" means in the context of this strip, well, that's up to you. I haven't really decided what the case is here.
The artworks of Sly Cooper and Carmelita Fox are not my own and are used as a vehicle for parody.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Carmelita Fox: If I could find that stupid raccoon...
{Sly is crouched down, sneaking around behind her}
Carmelita Fox: I'd put him behind bars for a long, long time... He isn't getting any "love" from me!
{Sly suddenly turns around, standing up a little more, shocked by her words}
Sly Cooper: !!!
{In the last panel, he has disappeared. Garfield enters and Carmelita turns around}
Carmelita Fox {to Garfield}: Have you seen Cooper around here?
{Garfield points in the direction that Sly went}
Garfield: He leapt out the window, dashed through the back yard, scaled the fence and raced down the alley
{Text at bottom-right corner of strip: Happy 20th anniversary, Sly!}

5245: You're giving love instinctively

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield was right-side-up. Here, he's been vertically flipped, taking a bit of the table with him to account for his paw. (The writing is as it was, as that was the original joke: that because it was an upside-down cake, the writing for his burp would also be upside-down.)
The title is a line from the Diana Ross song "Upside Down".

5247: Can We Scream A Little?

==Explanation==
In the original, the mouse explains that the stump has good acoustics. Here, he mentions "The Mouse That Roared", the title of a 1955 novel by Leonard Wibberley. The story is perhaps better known for its 1959 film adaptation, but it was also adapted for the stage in 1963, a television pilot was produced in 1964 (but not picked up), and another adaptation was broadcast over the radio in 2003 and 2010. The strip title is a quote from the film, at minimum.

5252: Sunday Every Day: Bernadette (or, Jon Plus Desperation)

==Explanation==
The idea behind this edit was to take the original 1998 strip, which had only the suggestions "dinner and a movie", "lunch and a bike ride", and "a cookie and a crossword puzzle", with Garfield quipping "Toaster crumbs and a knock-knock joke?" and expand it to a Sunday-sized strip, complete with a title panel from the 1990 strip, by adding panels with suggestions from the comments. "...Lunch and a bike ride?" was moved into a replica of the first panel, and some reader suggestions filled the second-panel set. The original's final panel was turned into the edit's last two panels, with the first of these two having the original suggestion and quip, but no flying sweat, and the last one getting the sweat and one reader suggestion and quip.
The suggestions are roughly in decreasing order of demanding of one's time and energy, expanding upon the idea that Jon is so desperate to spend any time at all with Bernadette that he's willing to decrease the amount to ridiculous degrees just to get something.
==The author writes:==
Some of Jon's lines were inspired by comments on GoComics.

Based on a Numerosity segment from Sesame Street, it counts five different sets of features.
I had used a picture of ten pins to see how Jon hits them, I used the Ten Sailor Guardians instead of "Ten Little Indians" (in later airings replaced with "Ten Bells") to make a reference to the Cleveland Indians changing its name to the Cleveland Guardians, and I used "Ten Bees" because CTW got away with using the wind-up toys more than once, so I used "Ten Bees" to allude to the man looking behind the doors in the other Numerosity segments.

5258: 'Jon did WHAT?'

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I saw today's SRoMG strip (#4905) and was surprised by the original strip more than the remix. Jon videotaped his date? That's not kooky cartoon antics, that's a 1980s horror movie.
So I decided to make it worse, of course. Or at least more contemporary. Garfield is taken aback, because although this is still weird, it's also something that real people have really done. In front of an audience. And everyone involved saw it as a fun entertainment activity. Welcome to the 21st century! Everything's a little bit strange, now; maybe things have always been a bit strange, but this is at least a new way for them to be strange in.
Bonus strip: I also made one where Jon's date's emoji spam is in-frame for the last panel. I had to do several versions of this, because each time I just grabbed a bunch of well-known emojis, and the first few looked decidedly less-than-PG, thanks to how people like to use these things.
