40: Recursive Thinking Garfield

==Explanation==
In the original strip, all Jon sees is Garfield walking back and forth, back and forth. This edit discards Garfield's math and rearranges the panels to take the repetition in a different, recursive direction.

4103: Garthang

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This was originally made around Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion release hype. Because I didn't wanna be that guy and spoil the entire thing for SRoMG, I wanted to hold out on submitting it until it was so late, not even skipping the queue would make it too early. Now that the final fest is over*, I guess I have nothing to worry about!
This technically means I am responsible for 100% of Splatoon-related SRoMG strips, unless someone submits one in the wait. In which case, I guess I'm not.

4108: Linguistics with Liz: Wingdings

==Explanation==
This strip is essentially a standard-fare "Linguistics with Liz" strip, only using the Wingdings font as opposed to a foreign language. The Wingdings in the second panel translates to what one would expect from this running gag.
As the Wingdings font itself only appears in Microsoft-distributed products, the author appears to have used similar Unicode characters in the transcript for the benefit of users of products that don't include the actual Wingdings font; it is currently unknown just how accurate the author was at this due to a later site recoding effort turning that line into mojibake.

410: Deep Throat Diet Check

==Explanation==
Sufficiently explained in the author's note.
==The author writes==
I was fiddling with the Garfield Randomiser a while ago and came up with this sequence and this showed up. I think it makes some sense!
I could think of several reasons for Garfield's attitude: 1 - Garfield is trying to make Jon disgusted by all the semi-digested food in his stomach. 2 - He's decided to let Jon know what he's been eating, in case he gets sick or something like that. 3 - An excuse Garfield is using to hide the fact that he can't close his mouth any more. 4 - Garfield wants to humiliate Jon, showing that, no matter how much money he spends on food, it will always end up in his stomach.
In any of these cases, it seems Garfield's mouth connects directly to his stomach.

4110: Linguisticless Liz

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Reading SRoMG #3910: "Enough is Enough, Take Two"'s commentary reminded me in a vague, conceptual sort of way of something that happened with YouTube Poops over time. Some very early or early-styled poops, sometimes labelled "SpaDinner" or the like, relied on a very limited set of resources, including the infamous Zelda and Mario CD-I games' cutscenes, along with the episode "Mama Luigi" of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. These sources became derided among fans of the media form, and essentially their very use could sometimes be grounds to consider a video a low-effort, low-quality affair. After this, some more talented and/or experienced YTPers came up with the idea of a style of video which used these sources but distorted and over-edited them to the point of being surreal, deeply interesting trips of nonsense - and did indeed require quite a bit of effort.
All of that is to say, while there is an extremely low minimum amount of effort required to make a "pudding pops" or "Linguistics with Liz" or whatever other source strip(s) become(s) a fad in the future, that doesn't mean you can't make something impressive, or at least unusual, with those very same strips - as this entry is intended to demonstrate. Is it very funny? Probably not. But it's Something.

----
==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Like many of the active contributors here, I am well aware of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the world's response to the spread of the pathogen behind it. I decided to edit an extremely new strip (by SRoMG standards) to make it about the virus, removing Garfield because he was irrelevant to the exchange I thought up before I started working on it.
I can see more people submitting pandemic-themed comics to SRoMG, which could involve matters like panic-buying, toilet paper, panic-buying toilet paper, etc., etc. Maybe they could be shoved into the Specials page or a separate COVID-19 page or a stickied topic in the IWC Forums' Square Root of Minus Garfield section! Oh, also, stay safe, stay at home, don't touch your face, and don't forget to wash your hands!

A parody of the back cover of Grateful Dead's Europe '72 album. When I was a kid, my family had this album, and as I would look through the album covers just to admire the artwork, this was one of my favorites. I still haven't had a chance to listen to it unfortunately.
Anyway, yeah, I didn't copy the rainbow hair too well, I basically cheated for the checkerboard shirt, and I forgot to uncover Garfield's ears. But it gets the concept across.

:The strip this page is about has had its title subject to mojibake errors. These errors are currently being replicated, as the strip's intended title, and by extension this article's as well, is currently unknown due to the mojibake.
----
==Explanation==
This strip replaces the donut from the original Garfield strip with what is openly stated to be a bottle of poison; interestingly, the cookie retained from the original strip could be interpreted as either chocolate chip or raisin, both of which would also be poisonous to a cat such as Garfield. A fourth panel is added which apparently shows the initial effects of Garfield consuming both the cookie and the entire bottle of poison.
The author's notes comically misses the point, focusing specifically on the glass that the bottle of poison is made of; while the glass is unlikely to be good for Garfield's system, he is more likely to survive that than either the cookie or the poison proper.
==The author writes:==
That can't be healthy. I mean, eating an entire bottle made of glass? Geez, Garfield!

4129: Family-Unfriendly Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Bonus challenge accepted.
I thought of the "arsenic" line pretty quickly as a way to make the original strip even darker, but it didn't quite mesh with the dialogue of the first two panels. First, arsenic isn't a cologne; second, "helpless" implies that someone is still alive. Luckily, I was able to rewrite the first panel to use "fragrance" instead, and there just happens to be a very useful idiom in English, which normally means "impress someone", that I was able to have Garfield interpret literally. Thus, the format and structure of the original joke is preserved almost perfectly, for a much more family-unfriendly version of the strip.
Additional trivia: Having created and submitted this strip the day after the original was posted, I have broken my own speed record that was set by the submission immediately preceding this strip, "Garfield in Doubled Half Time" in Haiku. If only I could show this kind of speed and work ethic in more important areas of my life. >_>
