268: Garfield Linus Garfield

==Explanation==
This comic has two jokes: its title is an easy pun on Garfield Minus Garfield, and it fits the original strip's dialogue - if the world is, indeed, constantly changing, then what's stopping Garfield from changing into Linus from Peanuts?
==The author writes:==
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: {reading newspaper while Garfield sits nearby} The world is constantly changing. 
{Garfield is replaced by Linus from Peanuts.} 
Garfield: {reappearing} They haven't stopped making frozen pudding pops, have they?
==Trivia==
* This was the first in the soon-to-be-notorious "Garfield [something that sounds like "minus"] Garfield" series (AKA "pudding pops").

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Having previously added horror elements to a Garfield strip, I thought I should try my hand at suspense.

Garfield: {Reading a letter} "Dear Mr. Garfield, I have given your dog a lethal dose of stimulants. If you want him to survive"
{Garfield throws away the letter, as Odie looks ready to explode}
Garfield: I'm not interested in being in a suspense movie. Nice knowing you, Odie.

2691: Bibs and Bullets

==Explanation==
In the original, the food was made of "gunk" and had no bullets flying from it. In this one, however, it's made of gun, and thus quite naturally is shooting.
The author's comment makes a pun on the double meaning of "fire": to discharge a weapon, and to terminate one's employment, as should happen should one use gun as an ingredient in cat food. Or any food.
It also makes a reference to the meme originating from CSI: Miami, in which the character played by David Caruso takes off his sunglasses just before the pun in his one-liner.
The author then makes a reference to the "Constantly changing"/"something that sounds or is spelled even a little bit like 'minus'"/"Pudding pops" phenomenon, saying that he won't be surprised if this sparks something similar.
The title is a pun on "Babes and Bullets", a parody of noir detectives found in Garfield: His Nine Lives. Oddly, no bibs are featured in this comic, and they are probably only mentioned in the title for the sake of the pun, and because they're related to food.
==The author writes:==
Someone at the factory should have been... {glasses} ...fired.
(Also, if this spawns a series of strips in which the cat food is made of something that sounds a little bit like and/or is spelled similarly to "gunk", I will... not be surprised.)
Original strips: , (The "BANG! BANG!").
==Transcript==
{Garfield is eating cat food discontentedly.}</br>
SFX: BANG! BANG!</br>
{Two bullets zing out of the food. Garfield checks the box. This is a safe thing to do.}</br>

{Garfield leaves the food, tossing the box behind him. This is also a safe thing to do.}</br>
Garfield: I suspected as much.
==Trivia==
This strip was originally published as "Bibs and Bullet". This has since been corrected.

2694: Depressed Luigi (Not Actual)

==Explanation==
Garfield was flailing his arms and startling Odie, after the dog gave him a bone to cure his depression. This edit removes the bone, and Odie shows Garfield a picture of Depressed Luigi, who can barely be seen on the laptop.
The author's request in the author's notes was eventually granted in the form of 3451: Depressed Luigi (Actual).
==The author writes:==
First of all, Depressed Luigi is a scrapped beta element in Luigi's Mansion, in the beta, if you ran out of time, Mario will be gone forever, and Luigi is left depressed, SCARY!! Can someone do a remake of this comic, but with the actual picture, because he really scares the pants off of me.

2697: Banana Man, Japanese Style, in Japanese

==Explanation==
This strip translates 2683: Bananaman, Japanese Style's dialogue, and by extension the original Garfield strip's as well, into Japanese to fit in with the Japanese advertising theme of #2683, and by extension this strip. It is difficult to discern how accurate the translation was due to most of the transcript having fallen victim to mojibake errors.

2699: Pet Sounds

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
From what I understand, the original Japanese version of Fire Emblem Fates, a video game for the Nintendo 3DS, had a minigame wherein you could pet your human characters. This was removed from the Western releases of the game, prompting a number of Fire Emblem fans to boycott this game and start petitions to Nintendo to add the minigame back (though they phrased their complaints in terms of poor localization of the game).
Maybe Jon is one of those people.

269: Morbid Garfield

==Explanation==
In the original, the salad was described as "healthy" by the person on TV, the ingredients were lettuce, carrots, tomatoes... and squirrel. Garfield then said he likes organic food. In this edit, the salad is "fleshy", being made of flesh, flesh, fleshes, and flesh. Here, Garfield says he likes fleshy food; perhaps, to him, nothing tastes as good. (Except lasagna. Maybe with flesh.)

26: Polar Coordinate Transform Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip has been converted to a polar coordinate system - a coordinate system where each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a fixed point (the origin) and an angle relative to a fixed direction. The result makes a perfect circle. (This particular strip was used because DMM believed that the original made sense no matter what panel you started at.)

2701: I Like Indiana and Indiana Likes Me

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This was an idea which was originally proposed on the forums by manyhills. I had a plush Garfield and Odie during my childhood so I pulled them from storage for the first time in ages and prepared them for the photo. To make the crook in Garfield's hand, I took a wire hanger, bent it at the top into a curve, and wrapped it around his hand very tightly. To create the cloth that Garfield's wrapped around, I actually utilized two pieces of felt (since I didn't have a whole one) and placed one on each side. I then scattered papers all over the corner of the room and stacked a few notebooks on top of each other to have something to prop Garfield against. After tweaking Odie's neck into the proper position, I then shot the photo and imported it to GIMP where I did the final touch-up work by converting it to black-and-white and giving it the appearance of an old-timey photo. Et voilÃ !

2704: The Most Divisive Strip of Square Root Of Minus Garfield Ever!

==Explanation==
This strip replaces Jon's jar of frosting with Marmite, and Garfield eats the Marmite anyway, despite claiming that he prefers Vegemite. Both are popular brands of yeast extract-derived spread in their respective countries; Marmite is a British yeast extract currently made and sold by Unilever's UK branch (alongside Bovril), while Vegemite was invented in Australia, becoming popular in the 1950s after lagging in sales behind Marmite for years since its introduction, and is currently sold by locally-based Bega Cheese
(US-based Mondelēz International owned Vegemite at the time this comic ran). In many circles, whichever of these two spreads is "better" is hotly debated; however, they are also considered to have a very strong "love it or hate it" taste, thus making the argument have at least one more side that finds both of these spreads "disgusting". The author (as his notes below explain) remained neutral, having never tasted either of them.
The editor's note refers to Unilever halting sales of their products in Tesco stores, partly due to the pound sterling's declining value, which in turn was brought on by Brexit (the dispute has since been resolved).
==The author writes==
I'm neutral on the whole Marmite/Vegemite thing, having never tasted either, which is, by all accounts, the only way to be neutral on the issue.
Original strip: .
[Ed: This submission has become inadvertently topical.]
==Transcript==
Jon: I have a jar of Marmite and two spoons! 
{Both proceed to eat Marmite straight from the jar.} 
Garfield: I prefer Vegemite, but Marmite will do in a pinch.

2709: Ragfield, as presented from that different artist who tried to invade earlier, way back in comic 2425!

==Explanation==
Back in #2425, the author redrew the first two Garfield comics. The first reaction was the hope that it was intentionally bad; the second was evidence that it was intentional. The author semi-blamed the program used. Another commentor called it "an interesting awful", and "worth including". Finally, the author foreshadowed this comic.
Here, the author transposed the "G" and "R" in Garfield's name, and blacked out the characters; while it is described as scribbling over the characters, it looks more like a filled polygon shape was employed.
==The author writes:==
Because of the reactions from my last comic, I decided to make a comic that is less terribly drawn, by using the original comic and scribbling over it! I hope you enjoy this one more than you enjoyed the previous one.
I also attempted to move around the letters in the comic. This has surprisingly good results.

270: RPGarfield

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield, as "Evil Roy Gato", did his "daily evil deed" by pushing Odie off the table and blaming the mustache, not that he even feigns remorse. Here, he claims to roll 20 to push Odie off the table, and says he loves tabletop RPG.
Role-Playing Games, or RPGs, are games in which you play the role of a character, either one provided or one you build within the game's limitations. A tabletop RPG, also called a pen-and-paper RPG, is one that requires players to keep track of things and reference rules and things in books. It has the advantage of allowing more in the way of imagination, however, which holds a large amount of attraction for some people. Of course, Garfield probably says "tabletop" here because that's where he's standing.
In some forms of the tabletop RPG, when a player wants to perform certain actions, he must roll a die, often 20-sided, add the appropriate stat modifier (probably STR, or Strength here) and possibly an additional bonus if he's proficient in a particular skill (here, probably Athletics). If the resulting number exceeds a certain minimum number -- which is larger if the action is supposed to be harder -- then the player succeeds in the action. Here, Garfield says he rolled a 20; this is highly likely to be a success all on its own.

2710: Anything But Johnny Test!

==Explanation==
This strip tweaks Garfield's complaint about what's on the television at the Arbuckle farm; in the original, Garfield's complaint was due to there being only three channels on offer, a common way to describe the television landscape in decades past (as in the big three American commercial networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC from a production standpoint, with PBS being often ignored; other countries may have also had relatable setups, such as the British trifecta of BBC One, BBC Two, and ITV), but rare in reality even when the original strip first ran (by which time Fox, UPN, and The WB had become established in America and even many smaller markets having access to at least Fox among them, and even the British landscape saw Channel 4 and Channel 5 having debuted by then). This strip changes Garfield's complaint to the television at the farm showing non-stop Johnny Test reruns, in a clear jab at that particular television program.
