4479: Jon Plus Friends

==Explanation==
The original strip started with Jon saying he had tons of online friends, then saying he just has some, before crying that he actually doesn't have any. This edit simply reverses the order of Jon's lines and poses, and also replaces Garfield's expression in the last panel with one from the previous day's strip.
==The author writes:==
I decided to give the strip a happy ending, because I genuinely felt bad for Jon.
At the time of submission this is actually a few months old - I found it again today and finished it up by making Garfield smile as well.

4480: Garfield minus (Garfield plus Pipe) plus Thomas plus Douglas plus Coach

==Explanation==
The strip's core premise is explained sufficiently in the author's notes. The author actually inserted copyright information relevant to The Railway Series--the series of books the Thomas the Tank Engine television series was originally adapted from--in the first panel with the year being that of The Twin Engines's publication year; in the third panel, the author inserted 9-15, within the publication month The Twin Engines had in 1960 (it is unknown the exact date of publication within that month), as well as something resembling a signature attributed to the Rev. W Awdry, the original author of The Railway Series; both the first and third panel stylistic touches mimicked that of the original Garfield strip.
The story Break Van also originated in the same book The Missing Coach did--Break Van being the third story of its book, The Missing Coach being the second story of the book. The [sic] indicates the context imples "break" should have been spelled "brake".
==The author writes:==
To provide a bit of context: The Missing Coach is a pretty infamous story within the Thomas the Tank Engine fandom (and yes, such a thing does exist).
Originally released in 1960 as part of the book The Twin Engines, the story was intended to be adapted into the show's second season in 1986, and would have served as the introduction to Donald & Douglas, the Scottish twin engines. However, the episode was scrapped halfway through filming, apparently due to concerns that its plot was lacking in action, and potentially confusing for the audience. The footage was repurposed for other episodes, and the intended follow-up, Break Van [sic], was hastily rewritten to serve as the twins' introduction. In fact, the only evidence of the cancelled episode's existence is a number of stills taken during filming, of which the most famous is the one in the last panel of this strip.
I'm not the first person to combine this story with the pipe strip - there was an edit doing the rounds in the Thomas fandom a couple of years ago, which used the original book illustrations. For the sake of being different, I've used screenshots from the TV series. I'll fully admit it's rather different from what you'd normally see on this site - but just what is normal in SRoMG these days?
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Thomas the Tank Engine is pulling into the station, where he hopes to add an extra coach to supplement the two he's already pulling}
{Thomas arrives at the station, only to find that the extra coach in question is not there. He looks concerned}
Thomas: Now where could my coach be?
{Douglas, the Scottish Engine, is looking worried. Behind him is a coach - more specifically, the one Thomas is currently looking for}
Thomas {off-panel}: DOUGLAS!

4481: Garfield Plus SCP-423

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I've been getting into the SCP Foundation's stuff a lot lately and decided that my first SRoMG sub was to reflect that. I thought for a bit over which SCP to include in a strip, until I decided on SCP-423 ("Self-Inserting Character", a character named Fred who inserts itself into literary works), as it was simple enough to alter a comic enough to imply its presence. I chose the "Cousin Kenny" strip because it was in direct reference to a minor male character, which Fred seems to prefer.
Yes, I know there's an SCP based directly on Garfield (SCP-3166, "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW ALONE YOU ARE, GARFIELD"), but I thought that would be too on-the-nose and it would be difficult to represent in the strip itself.

4486: Let the EATS Control Your Body

==Explanation==
This edit of the first Garfield strip replaces Jon's head with that of Nathen Mazri, one of the two founders of GarfieldEats. The text identifying him is appropriately changed, with "cartoonist" being replaced with "entrepreneur". "Feed" and "entertain" are also swapped from the original.
A second version is provided that replaces the original's "entertain" with the portmanteau "entergage", and restores Garfield's original last-panel dialogue.
==The author writes:==
In 2019, I had the thrill of attending the grand opening of the local GarfieldEATS restaurant in Toronto. In 2020, thanks to COVID and other pandemic-fueled shenanigans, it closed its storefront, and now delivers its delicious (no joke, they're my favorite) lasagnas around Ontario, albeit in a frozen state.
The whole thing inspired this strip. Or rather, strips. The first one came to me when I realized that the main purpose was to feed the fans/customers, so a quick swap of the punchline worked. Then I remembered the restaurant was also all about "entergaging" customers with Garfield cartoons and games via an app, so I quickly made up a second version. (My wife prefers the first.)
Version 2 transcript:
Nathen: Hi, there... I'm Nathen Mazri. I'm an entrepreneur, and this is my cat, Garfield.
Garfield: Hi, there. I'm Garfield. I'm a cat, and this is my entrepreneur, Nathen.
Nathen: Our only thought is to entergage you.
Garfield: Feed me.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Three identical setups, two marginally different punchlines, one screwed over Garfield.
Not the most complicated edit, but you have to start somewhere, eh? And I'm quite proud of the dotted background in the last panel, even if it isn't angled properly.

==Trivia==
This strip's transcript was hit by a mojibake error in a later site recoding effort; the original transcript unaffected by mojibake is lost to the public due to this. Based on the strip proper, it is implied to be due to the usage of a either a right-quotation character (’) or an acute accent 
character (´) in the transcript as an apostrophe in one spot in the transcript, but using the apostrophe character itself (') in the unaffected remainder of the transcript and entire author's notes.

4490: Garfield plus far, far too much effort

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I've been visiting this site for years, having a good laugh at the (incredibly creative) insanity that's been forged in the fires of Garfield remixing. I've submitted a few meme strips over the years, always meaning to come up with a more original stand-alone type joke whenever I've done so. And now, at long last, I have completely given up on that idea and just gone with the old 'Strip 1 with a twist' format; in this case, the twist being that I've redrawn the whole thing in the style of a comic book. Or - you know, a comic book of the type more akin to The Phantom than Footrot Flats.
That was my intention, anyway. Then I tried to draw the scene from memory, and it all sort of went sideways about halfway through panel 2.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{The panels are arranged to fit an A-paper page, and the characters are - you might say almost hideously - detailed}
{Panel 1. Jon is sitting at a desk, giving a thumbs-up for no reason, while the moon, a desk lamp and a coffee mug with '#1 cartoonist' watch silently}
Jon: Hi there! I'm Jon Arbuckle, a cartoonist, and this is my cat, Garfield!
{Panel 2. A close-up of an orange cat's face screaming while hanging off a sofa arm}
Garfield: HELLO I AM GARFIELD AND THIS IS MY SOFA APPARENTLY
{Panel 3. The drawings are distinctly lower-quality; Jon is crouching to look at Garfield, who is still hanging from a sofa arm}
Jon: Our only thought is to... entertain you?
Garfield: FEED ME
Garfield: Also the litter needs changed [ie it 'needs to be changed', with the verb dropped]

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
It's surprising sometimes how an archival error resulting in you seeing the wrong third panel can make a strip so much funnier.
I'm not necessarily talking about this strip, mind, because I did this on purpose and this joke is probably either too dark or too played out for most of our readership, but it's something that could theoretically happen.

4494: A Week of Tutorials

==Explanation==
This strip, while using the same background as the original, employs the Jon sprites from the video game Garfield: A Week of Garfield, edited to match his outfit and facial expressions in the original strip. Additionally, it uses the text box and provided font to almost recreate Jon's monologue, replacing "second" with "bit" for space reasons. The second row then goes through the motions of teaching you how to pause, letting you do so, then praising you when you do it.

4496: Such A Thing As "Too Fast"

==Explanation==
The author's notes tend to do most of the explaining. The author did, however, fail to credit as an original Garfield strip credit.
This strip made it through the queue faster than the author anticipated; 4314: Scamfield was only roughly six months prior to this strip, and 4359: Sponsored Content by this strip's author was in the later parts of the following month. Not knowing when #4314 was submitted, it is unknown which of those two strips was submitted first.
==The author writes:==
I only got into SRoMG about a year or so ago, so I was never there in the snail's heyday, but there are plenty of snail-related strips in the archive, many trying to make the snail faster or slower than it is in the original comic. This trend seems to have died down for the past thousand or so comics...I guess people just figured that they had reached the tipping point, and there was no way to make the snail any slower or faster.
I don't know about slower, but by taking inspiration from #3027 (and stealing the first panel because I was too lazy to make my own version), I've made it so the snail is so fast that it replies to Garfield before the comic even begins! Of course, as the title implies, this is probably too fast, given Garfield has not only not made his comment in the first place but is not physically present to hear the snail.
On a completely unrelated note, at the time of me submitting this there are a few people in the forums complaining that my #4359 has the same joke as #4314, published around a month prior. I would like to point out that I submitted #4359 all the way back on July 16, 2020, over half a year before #4314 was published. I didn't feel like making a forum account just to point this out, so I'd thought I'd address it in my latest submission.
Of course, by the time this strip makes it out of the buffer everyone will have already forgotten that two strips with the same punchline were posted a year ago...

44: Garfield Retold

==Explanation==
This comic attempts to retell the events of the given comic as though in real time. In real time, you can't go back and reorganize details into a less confusing format once you've said them; you can only add words and hope that helps. Thus, when the author "realizes" that he hasn't mentioned an important detail, he adds it where he is, starting a new paragraph. He also feels the need to tell us things we'd assume if he didn't tell us, such as that Jon is wearing the same shirt in the second panel as in the first panel, and in the third panel as in the second. But, as in life, you can't unsay what was said; thus, he doesn't eliminate these unnecessary parts of the description.
==The author writes:==
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Okay, so, in the first panel, Jon walks in and says good morning to Garfield. Garfield says good morning back. Well, Garfield thinks it. You know what I mean.</br>
Then in the second panel, Garfield takes a sip of coffee. Jon is just staring straight ahead at something. He's wearing a striped shirt. He was wearing the same shirt in the first panel too, I should have said that before.</br>
And then in the third panel, Jon, he's wearing the same shirt but that's not really important, Jon says that he thinks the toaster has a short. Like, as in, a short circuit. And Garfield says, or rather thinks, or rather asks, whether Jon is an electrician all of a sudden.</br>
Did I mention that Jon's hair is pointing out like he's been shocked, and he's sort of glowing and smoking? And his eyes are bulging out. That's why he was staring straight ahead in the second panel.</br>
I guess you had to be there.

Stop. Stop. There is more to comedy than going onto a stage and shouting expletives. You can't just slap together offensive things and call it a joke. All you have then is a sad amalgamation.
