2848: Blending Since '78

==Explanation==
This strip essentially fuses the blender gag (the blender taken from an uncredited ) with the very first Garfield strip, and also gives the blender some sentience by giving it dialogue.
==The author writes:==
Yes, I know it doesn't make sense for the blender to be saying "Blend me" but this was all I could think of for that last line. Also, Garfield just... exists in this one because I couldn't be bothered to erase him from it entirely. I suppose I'm following in the fat cat's footsteps.
Original strip: .

{Jon, at his drawing board with Garfield, has a blender on his face}
Jon: Hi, there... I'm Jon Arbuckle. I'm a cartoonist, and I have a blender on my face.
Blender: Hi, there. I am Blender. I'm a blender and this is my cartoonist, Jon.
Jon: Our only thought is to entertain you.
Blender: Blend me.

284: Cats of the Old Republic

==Explanation==
In this edit, the author changes the last panel's dialogue to resemble a dialogue tree, such as might be seen in a role-playing video game (hence the reference to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic in the title and author comments), or in one of the Terminator films (hence the link to the film franchise's page on TV Tropes).
==The author writes:==
I got this idea while reading No. 190: Garfield of the Old Republic.
My guess is that >99% of the readers have used or seen (Terminator!) a dialogue tree before, but just in case:

2853: Spot The Difference: Auto-Correlation Edition

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Here we see the results of two different full Garfield strips when auto-correlated. One of them is the infamous 2013 birthday strip, which is pretty close to copy and paste in all three panels. The other is from the 1989 Halloween special and doesn't even have a ledge in common between the three panels. Guess which auto-correlation corresponds to which.
To those among you who have been wondering about the efficiency of the cross-correlation algorithm described in my previous entry: after all, multiplying the pixels of one image (N) with the corresponding of the other and doing that for every possible shift (also N), we get a runtime of O(NÂ²), which isn't good. Okay, it's still polynomial, but for large pictures, it's obviously unfeasible, as N itself usually grows quadratically, too.
Fortunately, maths has a solution for us: Fourier transformations, which we should know from SRoMG #43. It turns out that, due to some freaky maths reasons, a convolution in real space is a multiplication in Fourier space. A convolution is an operation very similar to the cross-correlation, in fact it can be described as "cross-correlation, except you turn one of the pictures on its head beforehand". Even if it might seem counter-intuitive, convolutions are actually more common in mathematics than cross-correlations, but important to us now is: Fourier transformations can be done pretty quickly with the right algorithm, in O(N log(N)) time. So we just need to Fourier transform both images, multiply them, then transform them back (the "turn picture on head" difference between convolution and cross-correlation turns into a sign difference in Fourier space, so we don't need additional time for that, either). All in all, O(N log (N)), an improvement over the "stupid" algorithm. It's also how I calculated all these pictures, and it didn't take more than one minute for each on my home computer.

{An image in two halves. The top half is mostly black, with a white central spot and some clearly-defined whitish lines running horizontally and vertically. The bottom half has those same whitish lines but is overall much whiter, with three irregularly shaped grey patches roughly where the panels of a Garfield strip would fall.}

2858: Quicker Temper

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Jon is going out, and the women will be hysterical over him. Jon asks Garfield what he thinks of his attire. Garfield looks at Jon's outfit and says that it's hysterical. Garfield also thinks it could use some alteration. Garfield ticks Jon's tie into Jon's mouth and then adds some vents in his sleeves. Garfield tells the readers that a smart cat knows just how far to go without crossing over the line. Then Garfield puts a more rakish tilt on the hat. Garfield is now thrown out of a window.

285: Gallagherfield

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield compared aspects of Arlene's appearance to lasagna ingredients; here, he quotes "Digsy's Dinner", appropriately ending with "lasagna", Garfield's trademark favorite food. Arlene originally called him "Valentino"; here, she calls him "Noel", which, together with the title, is a reference to Noel Gallagher, formerly of the band Oasis, and chief songwriter on the album in which the song was included, Definitely Maybe.
==The author writes:==
While thinking about "Garklife", I remembered reading about the Blur vs. Oasis wars of way back when, and suddenly thought about Digsy's Dinner. The rest followed naturally.

Garfield: What a life it would be if you would come to mine for tea.</br>

2863: Forgot I Could Walk

==Explanation==
This strip shows two original strips, almost a month apart, in which Garfield is shown walking on his hind feet, followed by Jon saying cats can't do that. The two strips are a study in contrasts: where the earlier one has Garfield just walking like that as though it's the most normal thing in the world, the later has him undertake it as though he were embarking on a new journey; where the earlier one has Jon matter-of-factly telling Garfield cats can't do that, the later one seems to have him yelling in alarm. Additionally, Garfield comes out of this "knowledge" much more gracefully in the first one by walking on his forelegs instead, whereas in the second strip, he flops on his face. The author employs sarcasm through his narration, possibly due to the fact that they are so close together, Jim Davis shouldn't have forgotten that he did this already.
The narration also makes a reference to the 1997 animated film Cats Don't Dance.
The title is a play on the trope name Forgot I Could Fly.

2866: The Final Pudding Pops Joke

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Garfield's reason for agreeing with Jon's assessment of the times is that he noticed they're low on corn chips. 
In this strip, he noticed that they stopped making frozen pudding pops, which makes Jon shocked. The author claims that this is the final pudding pops joke; while it's true that strips that strictly follow the meme of taking that one strip and changing the middle panel to something that sounds even a little bit like "minus" will be trickled out very slowly, they may never stop until they're outright rejected. And as this author is not the one making that decision...

2868: Dilbert stopped making pudding pops

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Here's hoping that this is original enough to make it into the queue (and that it has enough to do with Garfield).
Original Dilbert: 2006-10-11.
==Transcript==
Dogbert: {to audience} A disturbing number of you have requested the return of pudding pops.
Dogbert: {to audience} Pudding pop is one-dimensional. There is nothing clever or insightful about him. He is simply a meme.

Pudding Pop: THEY LOVE ME!!!

The original Dilbert strip credit did not link to the corresponding strip; even if it had, said link would've gone dead in the early parts of 2023 due to Dilbert being dropped by its syndicate over its author's controversies. The strip in question has been archived here.

2869: Garfield's Seeming Arithmophobia

==Explanation==
This strip takes an original Garfield strip represented twice in 2809: Square Root of Multiplied Garfield, then replaces Odie, his girlfriend, and Garfield's reaction to them with a multiplication problem; Garfield reacts to the multiplication problem the same way as in the original Garfield strip, essentially implying him to be scared of that particular operation of mathematics.
The author's notes makes mention of the authors hoping that this strip actually ending up published after #2809, as this strip was designed as a follow-up to that one; there have been a few instances of strips intended to be follow-ups to earlier-submitted strips getting published before the earlier-submitted strips, most notably DanielBT's "Manga Garfield" trilogy seeing what was intended to be the middle installment published after what was intended to be the finale.
==The author writes:==
After I made Square Root of Multiplied Garfield (hopefully this gets published after that one) I decided I'd make a strip involving the most common one used in there: the one where Odie has a girlfriend... who we never see. Of course, given it's multiplication, and math jokes are this site's forte (just look at our name!) I couldn't really resist here.
