418: Real Horror Show

==Explanation==
The show in the original 1982 strip was The Rocky Oxnard Show, and the second panel was followed by Garfield turning the volume extremely low after having it so loud briefly. The third panel is from a 1994 strip in which Garfield is about to see a story about a warm and loving cat "on Science Fiction Theater!" which he calls weird as he turns it off.
Here, the show appears to be The Rocky Horror Picture Show, as it's on television rather than a stage like its basis, The Rocky Horror Show.
The author makes a distinction between what he's talking about and the Nadsat slang "horrorshow", meaning "well", "okay", or "good".

No, not the Clockwork Orange one.

4191: Oh no! Politics!

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Opinions implied by this strip are not necessarily the views of Jim Davis, PAWS INC, its syndicated distributors, Garfield himself, SRoMG and its moderators and users, or even the author of this strip. (The joke was just begging to be written, what with the way that Garfield's hand is shaped, and the lack of a real punchline.)

4194: Amnesia: The Garf Descent

==Explanation==
This strip is essentially the real-life reaction of its author to their previous strip, 3997: Nothing Unusual Here, in that the author doesn't recall actually making that strip. The setup consists of the author's computer with strip #3997 brought up, with the author holding a paper towel with a handwritten message on it; either the author or someone the author knows then took a picture of the setup, which was then submitted as a Square Root of Minus Garfield strip. The first line of the transcript even makes note of the specific brands of both the paper towel and the marker used to write the message, a reference that should still be easy to get despite the line being hit by mojibake in a later site recoding effort.
The strip's title is a reference to the survival horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent; the player character of that game is suffering from a bout of amnesia much like its title implies.
==The author writes:==
Legitimately, the second I saw the author's name on "Nothing Unusual Here", I was dumbstruck.

419: Garfield Lisa

==Explanation==
==The author writes==
Colour on IBM PCs started with the Colour Graphics Adapter (CGA) in 1981. It only supported 16 colours, but given that before that, everything was monochrome, that's at least 8 times better (or 2^3 better). As the decade went on, colour slowly got better, with EGA and VGA becoming standards.
Meanwhile, Apple was selling the Apple II (or Apple ][), which still had monochromatic displays. In fact, until 1993, Apple never sold a computer with a colour display. That's right: Apple, arguably one of the most innovative tech companies today, took 12 years to catch up with PCs in their computers' displays.
Admittedly, by the time this strip (1993-02-09, the day before the Macintosh Colour Classic was sold) appeared, nobody would have used a Lisa. In fact, nobody would've used a Lisa for a long time, if ever. But the idea of a monochromatic, black-and-white Garfield appeals to me, and let's face it, "Garfield Lisa" is a better title than "Garfield ][" or "Garfield Classic II."

==Explanation==
The author took the first panel of the original strip, used it three times, and replaced the dialogue with that of the first strip of Irregular Webcomic!.
Irregular Webcomic! is a strip by David Morgan-Mar, giving it a link to Square Root of Minus Garfield; while he is one of many authors of SRoMG strips, he used to be the one authors sent strips to, and the one who decided when each strip was published. (manyhills fills that role now.)

4201: Baba Eat Lasagna

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This is a reference to Baba Is You, a top-down puzzler. If you don't know, the game codes itself on the fly. The code is written down inside the level, and here's the catch: you can edit the code itself by walking up to it and moving the words. You can create the statement "ROCK is PUSH" so that you can move rocks the same way you can move text. Or you can take the word "ROCK" over to the statement "BABA is YOU" and create "ROCK is YOU" to play as a rock instead of Baba. Or better yet, "KEKE is MOVE" which makes Keke walk forwards and turn around at objects which are STOP, meaning they are part of the equation "_ is STOP" and will stop other objects from passing through them. By default, nothing can be interacted with except code.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{The statement "IS MOVE" is visible, and so are Me, Keke, and Baba. Baba is orange to match Garfield, and Keke is blue to match Jon. Me is purple to match himself. Keke and Baba are having a conversation while Me has the word "Baba" in his possession}
Keke: Guess what just happened!
Baba: I decided to leave the room!?
{Me forms the statement "BABA IS MOVE", causing Baba to walk offscreen away from Keke, leaving a few clouds of dust}

Garfield: I wonder if they still make frozen pudding pops
==Trivia==
*This strip's transcript was hit by mojibake errors in a later site recoding effort; as the strip itself implies the affected characters to be emojis, which are incompatible with the current site coding (5301: Gౡrfiⵥld and 5302: Garfward Jonbles would go on to expose that issue), the original transcript is presumed to be permanently lost and will need reworking to get rid of the mojibake.
**The transcript itself was altered between submission and publication, as called out by this strip's author in a topic on the Irregular Webcomic! forums; the author intended for both Liz and Garfield's lines to read "{high quality humor}", and the line "{Jon stares on in solace}" intended to link to the OneyPlays video it was meant to reference.
**The emoji used in the strip itself, Pile of Poo (💩), would go on to ruin an in-universe Square Root of Minus Garfield submission in iToons #749: Emoji of the Ci--, which itself lampoons the emoji incidents #5301 and #5302 went through.

Finally decided to submit something. I have no idea if we're still allowing these 'Linguistics with Liz' strips, but whatever. Pretty obvious idea to me. I'd be more surprised if it turned out that someone hadn't already done this. For my first real attempt at doing something like this, I'm quite proud of myself.
Is this more sexist to men, or to women? I honestly can't tell.

4208: Garfieldronpa: Lasagna Goes Forward!

==Explanation==
This strip, a rare instance of the original strip not invoking some variation of the "Linguistics with Liz" running gag, involves Monokuma, the antagonistic two-toned bear figure in the Danganronpa series serving as a blend of school headmaster and reality show host, initiating what appears to be an execution sequence; the phrase "it's punishment time" leads into such execution sequences. The clamp appears to be part of the method chosen by either himself or his employers in which Jon is to be put to death; each execution sequence is tailored specifically for each killing game participant. This strip appears to have Monokuma trigger the execution sequence on his whim; Monokuma never actually triggers an execution unprovoked. Danganronpa executions are typically the culmination of class trials, and the execution victims are typically the killers who've been found guilty and correctly identified as the killer during these class trials of murders perpetrated earlier on within each of the game's episodes; if the wrong party is identified as the killer, that killer wins the game right then and there and all other participants are subject to execution. Execution without class trial only takes place should one of Monokuma's rules be broken.
The author's notes themselves ended up being a positive version of the Tempting Fate trope; it was indeed published on the tenth anniversary of the original Japanese release of the first game in the Danganronpa series, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc on the PSP. (Only Japan saw the game on that platform; the rest of the world first saw the game, and by extension the series, via its PlayStation Vita port.) Despite what the author's notes imply, this strip was likely the first to reference Danganronpa.

I'm gonna bet this doesn't get published on the 10th anniversary of Danganronpa. There's probably another strip with the same premise, soâ€”

420: The Princess Garfield

==Explanation==
In the original lower-left panel, Garfield detailed his plans for messing with the new plant. Here, he quotes Inigo Montoya, a character from the novel "The Princess Bride" and its film adaptation. Montoya is a man driven by revenge for the death of his father, and he seeks the six-fingered Count Rugen that he may exact it; when he confronts Rugen, he says the words Garfield says both in the edited lower-left panel and the following panel.
The author then quotes Inigo again after Vizzini says "inconceivable" for the fourth time in the movie, and then Rugen, after Montoya has said the quote four times to him, the fifth time in the whole movie, as the first time was him telling The Man in Black his plan to say it upon confronting Rugen.
==The author writes==
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Stop saying that!!

Jon: I have a new plant in here, Garfield.
