3141: No, They'll Never Stop Making Frozen Pudding Pops.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I am pretty well-aware of the infamous "pudding pops" meme on SRoMG, even getting a little winded typing all the SROMG strip numbers below. I searched the site for "frozen pudding pops" (quotes included). If it had the phrase, it was going into this strip. So, included in this strip are all of the SRoMG strips about "frozen pudding pops" as of today, July 21, 2017, as well as the original Garfield strip from November 2001.
I copied and pasted each strip into Photoshop, placed the strips in the middle of the file, keeping the respective sizes of the original strips, and set the blending mode to Multiply for all of them (and had to lower the opacity of the Pac-Man strip so that the middle of the image wouldn't appear too dark).
As an aside, I have to wonder if, back in 2009/10 (whenever he made #268), Wes White knew what he would start.
Original Square Root of Minus Garfields: #268, #332, #335, #337, #390, #398, #411, #460, #474, #478, #486, #487, #491, #510, #516, #539, #547, #558, #570, #580, #586, #590, #594, #598, #603, #613, #618, #620, #621, #622, #623, #624, #625, #723, #797, #830, #863, #901, #945, #993, #998, #1089, #1112, #1142, #1183, #1215, #1285, #1319, #1351, #1371, #1408, #1422, #1469, #1526, #1643, #1645, #1671, #1837, #1856, #1889, #1900, #1934, #1946, #1990, #2032, #2035, #2043, #2070, #2125, #2195, #2308, #2313, #2370, #2387, #2527, #2662, #2866, #2871, and #2933.
