3290: Jon states the obvious

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Jon checks the mail and saw nothing then asks Garfield if he has been harassing the mail man. Garfield has, and on his hand he's holding the mailman's pants. Jon tells Garfield that he's an animal.
But in this strip, Jon calls Garfield an animal, and Garfield seemed to be offended by it.
==The author writes:==
I thought it was a little bit weird for Jon to call Garfield an animal in a derogatory way, given that he is literally an animal.

{Jon points at Garfield, contemptuously}
Jon: You're an animal

3292: Callback Girl

==Explanation==
In this original Garfield strip, Jon can read Liz's mind, and keeps going until Garfield tells Jon that Liz was thinking, "Good night, dummy". Here, Liz says what the woman was saying on the original Garfield strip from April 15, 2006.

3293: As you wish

==Explanation==
This picture of Inigo Montoya is from The Princess Bride from 1987.
In The Princess Bride, Inigo Montoya said, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die".
But here, he says that he's Stephano Montoya, because he's very rich and macho and he wants you to chat with him.
The author does not have any idea what this is. The author is so very sorry about this, not me.

3294: Dab, Fixed

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon is holding a hot dog and he wants to have a dab of mustard on his hot dog, and Garfield asks Jon just out of curiosity, exactly what a dab is. Here, Garfield is dabbing in the Garfield title panel from November 19, 2017.
Based on 3020: Dab where Squidward dabs.

3295: Censorception

==Explanation==
In the original strip, the final panel shows the fruits of Odie's efforts: Garfield was not pushed the rest of the way through the pet door, but the door the pet door was in was knocked off its hinges, and Odie was knocked out.
In #1949, the final panel was replaced with white text reading "CENSORED" on a black background, as if the result were too much for a newspaper's comic section to show.
This edit replaces the final panel with the comic itself.
The title is a reference to the film Inception, which features the idea of dreams within dreams.
==The author writes:==
Oddly enough, I got the idea from an anime-themed shirt, and somehow I redirected myself to this SRoMG idea.

Garfield: Sigh...
{Outside the house again. Odie is standing there}
Garfield: Hey, Odie, I'm stuck. Can you help me out?
{Throughout the next three panels, Odie walks away, then takes a running start back towards Garfield. The next-to-last panel shows Odie charging at Garfield's rear at full speed}
{The strip is repeated in the final panel, and this goes on until the strip is microscopic}

3296: And, behold, thou shalt be dumb

==Explanation==
Mostly explained in the author's note.
The title comes from the King James Version rendering of The Book of Luke, chapter 1, verse 20, in which the angel Gabriel -- same name as the cat -- tells Zechariah the priest that he will be dumb, i.e., "unable to speak", not "unintelligent", for not believing the angel's words that he and his wife, both old, would have a son. This dumbness lasted until he named his child, John, at the baby's circumcision.
==The author writes:==
Oh look! It's another Garfield & Friends episode that was based on a strip gag. (Or is it the other way around...?) In the short "The Genuine Article" Garfield comes across Gabriel, a fat, lazy, lasagna-eating cat who likes to kick a dog, Ollie, off the table. Considerable hijinks ensue, getting remarkably meta at times.
Here I have placed the original(ish) thought balloons over screenshots from the episode. (Available on YouTube!)
Let's hope the editor spaces this one out a bit from my last, identical in premise, submission. I'm too lazy to hold on to it.

I was fooling around with Playscii, which is basically a program that allows you to draw with text characters, when I noticed there was an option to import images into it.

329: Smile

==Explanation==
In the original first strip, Garfield let on what it meant to be like him: being insincere. This edit replaces the final panel with one that originally followed two panels of Garfield reacting with displeasure to the excessive happiness expressed by Odie. If you ignore the intervening time, you come away with the impression that Jon's heeding of his advice turned out to be a fearful thing for Garfield... and that Jon had to change his shirt first.

3304: Limanda alba

==Explanation==
In the original, Jon requested a dab, that is, a small amount, of mustard, but Garfield threw a large amount on and asked what a dab was. Here, a kind of fish called a dab came out, only one made of mustard. (The final panel has been excised.) The title is a scientific classification of this fish, combining the genus of righteye flounders (including dabs), and the species name of a plant, Sinapis alba, used to make white/yellow mustard.
==The author writes:==

3306: 100% Garfield Retcon from Day One

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
By changing a single word in the first (ever) panel of Garfield ("cat" to "client"), and removing the final panel, I may have single-handedly changed the entire dynamic of the Jon/Garfield relationship so that it now makes sense:
#We know that Garfield can talk to Jon, and Jon can understand what Garfield thinks.
#Garfield lacks opposable thumbs (because he's a cat).
#Jon is a stay-at-home cartoonist.
#Therefore, Jon is clearly Garfield's ghost-cartoon-writer... of Garfield!
#Garfield makes unreasonable demands of Jon, and Jon usually accepts. Why? Because Garfield is paying Jon.
#Also, where does Garfield get the money to pay Jon? Why that's simple: it's been well-established that Garfield is a... fat cat! (Bad pun, sorry.)
Original strip: 1978-06-19.

3314: 1 Corinthians 13:11

== Explanation ==
The original strip involved a grossly overweight Garfield rocking to himself and humming, the punchline being that he did not have a chair to rock on. Here, Garfield sings a song from Sesame Street - particularly, one by Number Guy, the "banjo dude" the author is referring to - before berating himself for not only getting it stuck in his head, but singing something "so childish." The title is a Bible verse and describes "putting away childish things," fitting the theme; on the other hand, part of Sesame Street's enduring popularity is its appeal to both children and adults, so therefore some readers may not share the same views as this strip's author. Other tidbits of this strip are explained sufficiently enough, so this explanation will not cover those.
== The author writes ==
...Don't you hate when songs you'd rather not have in your head get stuck in your head?
So when I saw the original strip, Garfield's "♪hummm♪" somehow reminded me of that banjo dude that used to be on Sesame Street all the time, many years ago. I thought I had forgotten about this guy, along with many other things from my childhood, but I guess not. It got to the point where I said, "All right, I have to make this". Instead of just using the Garfield font, however, I went for a more authentic look and painstakingly cut out letters and words from several different strips to make this. It took a couple days to do, but the result is worth it.
...please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers the banjo dude from Sesame Street.

3316: OW

==Explanation==
The original Garfield strip was just plain original. Jon asks Garfield that he's been giving the future a whole lot of thought, but he doesn't see anything. What a waste of Jon's past that Garfield said. 
Here, the strip is nothing but OW's, causing the strip to cause a whole bunch of chaos. In the first panel, Jon has three eyeballs causing him to say OW. Garfield's mouth is droopy too. Then, in the second panel, Jon's eyes turn big, and Garfield has big ears like a rabbit causing the speech bubble to turn to someone else, possibly Jon, saying OW. Finally, in the third panel, Jon's eyes are right side up and upside-down and his mouth is wide causing him to say OW again. Garfield, with big eyes and a big hand on a table, says OW to another Garfield with big eyes. The copyrights "2018 Paws Inc, All Rights Reserved, and www.garfield.com are all flipped to the other side. Also, the last copyright, "Distributed by Andrews McMeel Syndicate", are flipped too, but the D falls down. The Jim Davis signature now says "Jiii Daaaa3-15-75-375", which, taking inspiration from the month and day numbers of the original strip, sees in it a pattern in which each subsequent number is five times the previous number. One could even say that each number is 3 times five to the xth power, where x goes from 0 to 3 by ones over the course of the pattern. (The choice to extend the second letter of both Jim's given name and surname to three and four letters, respectively, may be meaningful or just random.)
The author's note has nothing but just one word that says "OW".
