2636: Garfield Plus Correct Hyphenation II

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Unhyphenated common compound nouns don't magically grow a hyphen just because they're positioned as a modifier directly before the noun they modify, Jon. Sheesh. No wonder it took you nearly thirty years to get a girlfriend.

2639: Naughty Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Because the real Garfield wouldn't obey the sign. He wouldn't find loopholes to abuse. He wouldn't toe the line. He probably wouldn't even disobey and then smart-talk his way out of trouble. He would blatantly and purposefully disregard the sign.

263: Garfield Shrink & Re-enlarge, Part 3

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
qvaak wrote in the forums:
The process would be as follows: 1. A Garfield Sunday strip is sent to the first participant. He squeezes the strip into a three panel strip. 2. The three panel strip is sent to the second participant. He squeezes it into a single panel funny picture. 3. The funny picture is sent to the third participant, who expands the picture into a three panel strip. 4. The fourth participant expands the three panel strip into a Sunday strip.
Rules: 1. Everybody will be told what the original strip was, so that they can avoid it as much as they can. We cannot hope the participants don't remember the strip or that they would not run into it by accident, but the less the better. No artwork or dialogue may be taken straight from the original. This does not concern the first participant, of course. 2. Other than that every method is allowed. You can edit existing artwork or copy/paste new art from other Garfield strips. You can rewrite dialogue or add new dialogue. Etc. 3. The goal of edits should be to carry the most essential parts of the story and the gag from one strip format to another.
This experiment is based on my experiments already published: #127, #113, #109. They are a fine proof that the challenge should be manageable. Not that my ways should be yours; the truncating and expanding can certainly be achieved by many different tricks.
Rule three might seem strange, but my aim for this experiment is to play on information loss and confabulation that slips into creation when edited and re-edited enough. If everyone would make their own gag somehow based on material given to them, information loss and confabulation would not so much slip, but crash in.

2642: Consistency

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield had been locked up in an asylum after acting uncharacteristically nice; here, it's presumably because of the excess of pudding pops comics.
The author's note refers to the novel/film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which ends with the rambunctious mental hospital patient Randle McMurphy being sent in for electroshock therapy and rendered a vegetable; the narrator, Native American "Chief" Bromden, ends up smothering him with a pillow.
==The author writes:==
This was shortly before a Native American man came in and smothered him to death.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Wikipedia on the band in question. I'm not a Rush fan, so I just used the first two songs suggested by Google's autosuggest; I also don't read music, and thus have no idea if the musical notation I use here is at all appropriate for these songs.

2648: Painfully Posh and Vivaciously Verbose Cartoonist Jon Arbuckle and Feline Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
You will of course notice, as should be obvious and eminent, that the original comic has been scaled from the high-resolution original as provided on Garfield.com to an even higher resolution. The intent of this was due to the fact that it is difficult to incorporate the humorous effect that I have intended with the ludicrous verbosity of Jon Arbuckle and feline Garfield with the limited space as provided in the thought bubbles, without making severe alterations to the comic's structure. At the same time, I did not wish to make the comic difficult to read and digest by exponentially increasing the resolution of this image to a point that it would be not comfortable for casual viewing on computers with monitors of standard resolution. The result of what I have come up with, I feel, is a fitting compromise between both extremes in order to achieve my intended result. With this being said, I hope that this derivative art is able to inspire further derivations from the able and ready author base of Square Root of Minus Garfield, a submission-driven webcomic featured on Mezzacotta.net, a website hosted by brilliant Australian physicist and Comic Irregular David Morgan-Mar, with assistance from regular contributor and computer science fiend Manyhills.

==Transcript==
Jon: It is with great pleasure that I bid you welcome to our comic strip in this, the year of 1978, the 19th of June. I would like to introduce myself; I am an artist - to be specific, a creator of a sequence of drawings arranged to humorous effect. The feline of orange hue to which I point is Garfield, this comic's titular familiar.
Garfield: Indeed, Jon is correct on all fronts. I am the titular orange feline of this comic strip, and to further articulate the point, the man to my left with the brown hair and aqua blue shirt is my cartoonist, figuratively and literally, Jon Arbuckle.
Jon: Friends and neighbors, you are in for quite a treat. As a heartfelt gesture to our readers, we declare our sole and solitary purpose is to entertain you with our humorous antics.
Garfield: Enough of the pussyfooting. It's time for my tea.

264: JPEGarfield

==Explanation==
Saving an image in .jpeg format generally saves space at the cost of reducing the image's quality. This quality reduction is applied to the original comic, where Garfield believes he is being saved from a dreadful Monday only to be taken to the vet, and exaggerated to the point where it becomes almost unreadable.
==The author writes:==
Garfield falls prey to the horrors of JPEG compression.
Original strip: .

Garfield: I hate Mondays. I can't shake this awful feeling that something dreadful is going to happen to me.

{Jon and Garfield are sitting in a field of flowers on a hill, with a barn behind them in the background. Everything is colored weirdly in what looks like different shades of vomit. The sky is absent; it has seemingly been replaced by green static. Like when the signal goes out on a CRT TV, but it's green. Garfield, who is colored a pinkish-barf color, removes the piece of wheat of his mouth to spit out a mysterious black substance.}

2651: Galfierd

==Explanation==
The author thought it would be "pretty funny" to put this Garfield comic into Engrish. 
Engrish is a slang term for the misuse of corruption of the English language by Native Speakers of Asian languages.
The author tells you what the ripest source of Engrish is. It's video games, of course. So he redid a recent comic using the Garfield sprites from #21: NESfield and the dialogue from the original strip by generating it using Google Translate to translate this comic from English to Japanese to English to Japanese to English. The author likes how it turned out. 
So, in the original strip, Jon is about to throw himself a surprise party, and he hopes he doesn't suspect anything. Garfield says, "No chance of that."
But, in this strip, Jon is now talking about a surprise party for Garfield, and he hopes that Garfield does not expect anything. Garfield gets a dramatic line that was worthy of Obi-Wan Kenobi that says, "We do not have that chance."

2655: There must be a higher Category Bo Mot ja palauttaa

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The title is "We need to go deeper" translated via this same method.
Naturally, with #2651 and #2652 both involving poor translations, we must go deeper. This uses the same technique as #2652, via shoving it through several languages in Google Translate, but this time I did it approximately 11-12 times, instead of the 2 used there.
This, obviously, seems to have completely ruined the entire strip; almost none of the dialog remains, with really only one word seemingly untouched through it all. Whether or not it remains funny is up to you.
[Ed: The original strips claims it's Bridge but it looks more like Twenty-Eight to me.]
