4962: Wake Up, Cat Up, Cat Out There

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Video game joke, nothing to see here, move on - they can't all be experimental French literature or impenetrable and unfunny music references, you know. Inspired by (only the title of) SRoMG #4945.
I think Jon is definitely more "distorted desires" than "rebellious spirit" but in case you disagree:
{Jon tugs on his red gloves while two enemies explode in the background behind him. Text down the side of the screen reads "THE SHOW'S OVER"}

Jon {with delight}: The Polka Palace!
{The Security Level of the Polka Palace rises to 100%. Shadow Jon is visible, holding an accordion and sporting a demented grin}

4963: A Best Punchline

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Browsing a Garfield fan club page on Facebook, I read a comment from a friend of mine, proposing a better ending dialogue for the original Garfield strip from 2021-11-14. So I decided to take the new ending dialogue proposed by my friend and insert it in the same strip.

4965: IDK what to call it, but I'm just gonna say it has a tennis ball in it.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
When I saw that scene in BFDIA [Battle For Dream Island Again -Ed] 4 (the part where Tennis Ball calls Book "well-read" and goes "Hyuck! Hyuck!"), I was inspired to make an edit of the original Garfield strip (1993-12-10) in which TB would "warm up to it" by acting crazy.

Jon: Hey TB, I know you don't want to go to the farm for Christmas, but warm up to it, okay?

4966: Suppenkasparfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Der Struwwelpeter is an 1845 German children's poetry book by Heinrich Hoffmann, a doctor who wrote the book as a Christmas present for his son upon not finding any other suitable books. It comprises ten illustrated poems, mostly about children. Each has a clear moral that demonstrates the disastrous consequences of misbehavior in an exaggerated way. For example, a girl named Paulinchen plays with matches and burns to death, a boy named Konrad sucks his thumbs and gets them cut off by a tailor, and the boy above, Kaspar, starves to death after not getting enough to eat.
Because soup is the only food mentioned in Kaspar's poem, many people believe that he hated it in particular and that's why he refused to eat it, but in my interpretation, Kaspar actually loved soup and was refusing all food (fasting) in hopes of losing weight because he was constantly bullied at school. (I hope to publish my rewrite of the poem where he survives soon.)
Later:
I've published my rewrite of Kaspar's poem where he survives, as well as my retellings of most of the other poems in Der Struwwelpeter. They're available in this book.
Original strips: , .
==Transcript==
{Jon brings a bowl of soup on a serving plate toward Garfield and Suppen-Kaspar from Der Struwwelpeter}
Jon: Would you like some soup, Kaspar?
Kaspar: I'd LOVE some
Kaspar: But I really shouldn't
Jon: So you WOULD like some soup?
Kaspar: Absolutely
Jon: But you don't WANT any?
Kaspar: No! No, no, NO!
{Kaspar leaves, leaving only Jon and Garfield staring at each other}
Jon {now with an empty bowl on the serving plate}: Struwwelpeter kids
Garfield {with a mouthful of soup}: They're a mystery

Ironically the day I edited/submitted this it was also the 26th of December. Jon's colors were tweaked to be similar to the 1978-1985 palette, and GIF artifacts were minimized alongside this.
One can also do this for an edit:

4972: Kissfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The recent* two weeks of Garfield strips have been a bit dark by basic standards and have focused a lot on the meaninglessness of Jon and Garfield's existence. Instead of a mushy Liz-based joke with Garfield reacting as an 8-year-old would, I wanted to allow the reader to make an assumption as to what is going on in Jon's mind in this particular situation and wanted to portray a sense of dread and defeat in Garfield, who is ashamed by not knowing what Jon means. Garfield is often better when reappropriated to existential crisis.

4975: Garfield Numerosity 1

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Based on a Numerosity segment from Sesame Street, it counts five different sets of features.
In the original script, an eye and an elephant were going be counted in along with the penny, bird, and belly button, but were replaced by the wind-up toy and cow in the final film. I however used one eye for the third feature according to the original script.

4978: I'm Gonna Miss Her

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I check in on a week's worth of Garfield for the first time in forever and I'm hit with a wall of LAME.
There is a famous/notorious one-liner, suitable for bumper stickers, that goes, in effect, "My wife told me to choose between her and fishing . . . I'm gonna miss her." Some creatively bankrupt country singer* actually tried to turn that into an entire song. I guess you do what it takes to fill out an album.
Here, some unpaid intern tries to "write what you know" to fill out a week of strips, chooses to rip off a meme, and doesn't even get an actual joke out of it. But hey, getting to write a Garfield strip is something you can tell the grandchildren about, so good for you, intern.
*Last-minute research indicates this was Brad Paisley, who is a famous country artist and presumably had some talent at some point, but my opinion on the song stands.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{A meme picture of a woman and man on their first date}
Woman: Name a book that made you cry...
Man: Algebra I, Math for the Modern World
{And now, the Arbuckle household}

Jon: "Algebra"
Garfield: And the tearjerker sequel, "Algebra 2"

{Suddenly, without warning, both the carrot and plate vanish, all while Garfield remains motionless. Jon is annoyed}
Garfield: Finished

The carrot reappeared exactly a year later in 5344: Show Don't Tell, by the same author.

497: Garfield Minus Linus Garfield

==Explanation==

4983: Andrew Garfield 5: J. K. Simmons Edition

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Do you know how hard I searched for an image of Jon reading a newspaper? Out of the thousands of published Garfield strips, there are not many strips devoted to reading the newspaper - and this is a newspaper comic strip! About a newspaper comic strip artist! Good grief, you would think newspaper reading would be more pervasive, but nope! I wasn't asking for much, just ONE PICTURE OF JON ARBUCKLE READING A NEWSPAPER! Just ONE! That's all I needed to establish the gag! I kept clicking that random button in the hopes of turning one up and finally I got my Holy Grail! A picture of Jon Arbuckle reading a newspaper for the sole purpose of making my little gag! Honestly, there has to be an easier way of finding a single solitary picture of Jon Arbuckle reading a newspaper than that, something obvious, something that really stands out, something genuinely meme-worthy. Eh, whatever, rant over, I hope you all enjoyed the strip.

4984: Burger

==Explanation==
One would, presumably, purchase a burger from an establishment with "Burger" in the name, making Jon's observation here quite trivial and lacking in information. The use of quotation marks in his speech balloon implies he thinks of the "burger" as a specialty of Binky Burger, rather than an established name for a foodstuff. The transcript implies that this is the result of a stroke.
The author note is paraphrased from the quasi-meme "You may as well [laugh/stop reading] now. It's not getting any funnier than this." 
==The author writes:==
You may as well stop reading now. It doesn't get much funnier than this.

4985: How Garfield Gets Thrown Out of a Window But It's All Just a Dream

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
So that's the memetic panel, huh? That's cartoony but, how could Garfield possibly get thrown out of the window like a solid object such as a vase and etc.? So how's about we retcon it into just a dream Garfield has? First, I've removed the filler panel with Garfield, Odie, Jon and Lyman, and expanded the last panel where Garfield is thrown out of the window and edited the last panel of the May 17, 1987 strip into it. Maybe it might be seen as a bit of low effort in MS Paint but at least I've tried as best as I could. I also modified the dialogue from that panel a bit.

==Explanation==

This is a belated variant of the Pietfield strip, which was published waaay back in 2011. I figured that as long as a mashup alludes to Piet Mondrian, the art might as well be done in the painter's unique style.

498: Blindfolded

==Explanation==
In the grand tradition of swapping dialogue, the author did so with two strips with oddly similar premises (and unusually close dates for being so similar): Garfield blindfolds someone, then downs Jon's meat, buttered mashed potatoes, and peas in one go. This, however, creates a couple of oddities of its own in the first strip: Garfield implies that he will be blindfolded, yet he blindfolds Jon; and though he therefore can see, he cannot identify Jon.
==The author writes:==
I figured the best strips to go with for my first submission to Square Root of Minus Garfield would be a pair of strips I've always found odd. I refer to the strips published on 1991-06-07 and 1991-06-29, which were barely three weeks apart and featured the same basic punchline of Garfield eating Jon's food while one of the two is blindfolded, with Jon giving the same reaction both times. So I figured, what better way to mash the two than to mix their dialogue around? (Or at least Garfield's dialogue, since Jon's lines didn't need changing.)
