28: Garfield Without Words

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon plugged in his Christmas lights and was happy the fuse didn't blow, while Garfield noticed the lava lamp erupting.
This edit takes away the words. Without looking at the original, we can surmise that Jon is plugging something in, but we're left wondering what. We also don't know why he's happy in the third panel -- maybe he found the outlet -- or why Garfield is turning his head away.
The title isn't entirely accurate, however; the copyright notice and so on are still there where certain other authors would have made sure to remove them, too.

2901: Where's Garfield? Cross-Correlation Image Search

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
After my previous two entries dealt with auto-correlation and how it allows us to spot periodicity in pictures, here we can see how cross-correlations can be used to find objects in a picture. This picture was created by cross-correlating the Sunday strip with a mask, consisting of Garfield's head from panel five. Based on how cross-correlation works, we expect a bright spot every time our mask is above Garfield's head, since then the picture and the mask obviously fit well together.
And indeed, we see three bright spots, in panels two, five (no surprise) and six. We also see bright-ish splots in panels three and four, also centred on Garfield's face. However, there is no bright spot in panel one, six or the title panel. That's because cross-correlation, while useful, is of course not a "smart" algorithm. It just shifts one picture over another, without rotating, flipping or re-sizing them to get a match.
To find out how that is done, you might want to talk to Google. In their attempt to make a useful picture search (where you could give it, say, a picture of a corgi and it would search the web for other pictures of corgis), they had to deal with these advanced kinds of image processing. Their result was a neural net approach, which means nobody knows from the outside how exactly the program determines what's a dog and what's a pipe (or a picture of one), but I bet that at some deep level, cross-correlations are still involved. As their Deep Dream visualisation of the "seeing" process of their neural net shows, they have managed to create a program which can't just identify a dog pretty well, but also see this dog in a cloud.
If you're sick of cross-correlations now, that's okay. I'm done, but slightly proud that it's been seven years since SRoMG #130, and we've still not run out of maths things to play around with.

2902: The Dead Future Redux

==Explanation==
This strip takes the premise of 470: The Dead Future, but instead of the original Garfield strip for , a panel from 5: Qwantzfield--which also ran on 2008-11-25--is used to source the third panel. Both #470 and this strip use the third panels of their respective targets to replace the third panel of the 2003-11-25 Garfield strip to punctuate their intended jokes; in the case of this strip, visuals of the very first original Garfield strip is combined with Dinosaur Comics dialogue in the third panel.
As Square Root of Minus Garfield was in its infancy on 2008-11-25, there was no guarantee that a strip would run on that date; Square Root of Minus Garfield was not yet run daily at that point in the run, it did not officially become a daily feature until 251: Beware (and has never schedule-slipped more than a few hours ever since).

2905: Psychic Jon

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Given that Jon didn't say what year his vision said this will happen, I feel Garfield's "no comment" is entirely appropriate. If you're seeing this on May 2, this is the sole exception to my usual practice of only submitting a SRoMG for Garfields either less than a week old or more than a year old (excepting remixes of remixes, always noted in the Author's Comment, and a few Holiday strips) as a crude way of gauging the current queue size over time (a practice I stumbled on accidentally, but have more or less stuck too since I realized it was happening).

2907: Jonstown

==Explanation==
This strip takes an original Garfield strip where Jon and Garfield were down to sucking soy sauce packets and reworked it to refer to the infamous Jonestown incident, including making reference to a common misconception about the event in the author's notes. The title is a pun on the settlement where the namesake incident took place.
Contrary to the implied implications, any unopened drink packet still extant from the Jonestown site would be no more or less dangerous than any other expired packets of the same brand and flavor manufactured around the same time (it is still not recommended for anyone try this at home); the poisoning of the drink used in the Jonestown incident was done during the preparation process, and the poison would not have been found in unopened packets.
==The author writes:==
Kool-Aid had nothing to do with Jonestown. Flavor Aid was actually used, but Kool-Aid got the expression. Go figure.

{Jon and Garfield face each other, each holding a red packet of something. Several other discarded packets sit on the counter next to them}

2908: Lasagnas & Litterboxes Re-Revisited

==Explanation==
This was a story of a comic where Garfield uses a snowball to roll down the hill, as he runs down the hill than the snowball, hitting Jon. 
Here's another story where Garfield's plan backfires. Made using different coloured font.
This story was inspired by 44: Garfield Retold, and so on. Also from 2666: Lasagnas And Litterboxes Revisited.
==Transcript==
{The image is composed entirely of different coloured text}
Black: You look over the hill, the residence carpeted in thick snow. 
Blue: I ball up some snow, and roll it down the hill.
Black: It begins rolling, gaining some size, then more, becoming your size quickly.
Blue: I chase after it.
Black: It becomes very large and soon it threatens to crush you.
Blue: I run quickly to the residence's door and ring the bell.
{a horizontal line to indicate a break} 
Black: You hear the bell on your door ring.
Green: I open the door and look around.
Black: You do not see anyone, but after a second of casual looking you spot a large snowball hurling towards you.
Black: It misses you, instead hitting the side of the house right beside the door.
Blue: Wait, that was where I was standing.
Black: I know. The snowball hits you before you can react, burying you in snow in an instant.
Green: ...
Black: Well? 
Green: ...*snicker*
Blue: I hate you.

2909: Starfield

==Explanation==
In the first original Garfield strip, Jon introduces himself and calls himself a cartoonist. He's called a cartoonist because he draws cartoons. Jon points to his orange cat named Garfield. Garfield introduces himself and calls himself a cat, and introduces Jon. Jon says their only thought is to entertain the readers, but Garfield clearly has being fed on the brain.
Here, the author has replaced Garfield with Kirk's first officer, Spock, and Jon Arbuckle has been replaced by James T. Kirk, both from Star Trek: The Original Series and its related films. Kirk introduces himself as your captain, and introduces his first officer, Spock. Spock introduces himself, calling himself a Vulcan, and introduces his captain, Jim Kirk. Their only thought is "to boldly go where no man has gone before," a reference to one of the points of the mission of the Enterprise's crew. Spock responds with "Fascinating," a sort of catchphrase of his.
==The author writes:==
This is one of the first things I thought of doing when I saw SRoMG.

290: Create.swf Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip is mostly explained below, but if someone knows who the hairstyle used belongs to...
==The author writes:==
This is the first Garfield strip (), recreated using the Touhou Character Creator, better known simply as create.swf, plus a little bit of image manipulation (I had to turn the cat orange and give it stripes). It's a sort of "digital paper doll" tool created by KirbyM and Thefre, allowing you to create comics and images using characters from Touhou Project (such as my own creation).
Touhou Project is a semi-obscure series of Japanese video games (though in Japan, it's popular enough to have its own conventions) made by a single guy known as ZUN, belonging to the "danmaku" or "bullet hell" genre of shoot 'em ups (you know those games where you play as this spaceship or airplane pointed straight up on the screen, and you have other spaceships or monsters or aircraft whatever pointed straight down at you? Okay, now replace them all with cute girls and fairies), in which enemies fire gigantic swarms of "bullets" which the player must navigate rather than dodge. At the time of this writing, there have been twelve games in the main series, four official spinoff-games, a few official comic books and prose works, and the series now has over a hundred named characters who have appeared here and there.
The big thing about Touhou, though, is the sheer number of fan-creations out there. Fanart, fan fiction, lots of remixes of the games' music, loads of manga, dolls and figurines, video games of every description, at least one pen & paper RPG, and even a few animated works (mostly music videos). Even KirbyM's creations have become widely-known among Touhou fans in Japan. Touhou fans have basically collectively done just about everything creative it's possible to do (except possibly architecture and marble statues, and I'm sure it's just a matter of time). And now, a Touhou fan has used their creativity to recreate a Garfield strip.
Of course, the series has a nearly-all-female cast, which made it difficult to find a good hairstyle for Jon. Believe it or not, that was the most masculine hairstyle I could find in create.swf (and it isn't even one of the ones belonging to one of the three males)! Jon also uses a computer here instead of an easel, which is a reference both to the fact that this very comic was created entirely digitally with no non-computerised components whatsoever, and to the fact that create.swf doesn't have an easel in it.
==Transcript==
Jon: Hi, there... I'm Jon Arbuckle. I'm a cartoonist, and this is my cat, Garfield.
Garfield: Hi, there. I'm Garfield. I'm a cat, and this is my cartoonist, Jon.
Jon: Our only thought is to entertain you.
Garfield: Feed me.

2912: No he's-a not, he's-a wearing a neck-a-tie!

==Explanation==
Like its predecessor, #2911, this strip is based on a strip in which Garfield, having gotten himself put in a full-body cast by swatting a large dog without provocation, finds himself the butt of practical jokes on the part of Odie. The second of these involves him putting Garfield's tail in the frame of a chair's back, pushing him down, and releasing him so he oscillates vertically.
Unlike this strip's predecessor, it's Odie's head that changes, this time into that of Fozzie Bear, stand-up comedian for The Muppet Show. "Waka waka waka" (often transcribed "wakka wakka wakka" or "wocka wocka wocka") is his catchphrase for after he tells one of his jokes.
The title is the punchline of a joke he tells in Season 1, Episode 10 of The Muppet Show. In the scene, he employs Kermit's help in telling the joke, saying that he'll cue him with the word "hear" to say, "Good grief, the comedian's a bear!" Much of the scene's humor comes from Fozzie saying "here" or a "hear" that's not intended to be Kermit's cue, at which point Fozzie changes the cue to simply pointing at Kermit. When Kermit finally says what he's supposed to at the right time, Fozzie is able to deliver the aforementioned punchline.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
How many angles can I generate from a very simple "looking out the window" strip?
I have the 1993 strip in a book, and I think it's funnier in black-and-white. The pink and green make it too obvious what's going on in the last panel (unless you're color-blind), whereas in line art you have to make the connection yourself. And how does pink turning into green even make sense?

This strip is essentially the author's take as to Lyman's fate in the Garfield canon, in this case being killed by Odie under trigger from Garfield. The third panel in particular depicts blood in a somewhat gruesome fashion for a family-friendly webcomic, with Garfield denying having any role in having triggered Odie into killing Lyman.
