5195: Still Garf And Roll To Me

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
My fifth grade class had to perform a parachute routine to this song way back when. They made me sit out cause I was in Special Ed.
Original strip: 0000-00-00.
==Transcript==
Jon: What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
Garfield: Can't ya tell that your tie's too wide?
Classic Garfield: Maybe I should buy some old tab collars
Modern Garfield: Welcome back to the age of jive

(Jon: Never mind)
Garfield: Are ya gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Honest Ed: Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
Honest Ed: Your best bet's a true baby blue continental
Garfield {narrating as Jon punches Honest Ed for some reason}: Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk,
Garfield: It's still Rock n Roll to me.
Jon: Oh...
Garfield: It doesn't matter what they say in the papers
Garfield: Cause it's always been the same old scene
Jon: There's a new band in town
Garfield: But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine
Garfield: Aimed at your average teen
Garfield: How about a pair of pink sidewinders and a bright orange pair of pants?
Garfield: You could really be a Beau Brummel baby if you just give it half a chance
{Garfield is thrown out the window}
Garfield: Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers
(Jon: I LIKED that ringtone!)
Garfield: You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers
Garfield: Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways, it's still Rock n Roll to me

Jon: Have you heard about the new fashion, honey?
Jon: All you need are looks and a whole lotta money
Garfield: It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways, it's still Rock n Roll to me
Garfield: Everybody's talkin' bout the new sound, funny, but it's still Rock n Roll to me
==Trivia==
None of the actual strips were correctly credited; the only date credited is the non-existent 0000-00-00. As the erroneous date was the only date credited, it was retained even after a number of other strips bearing that error had it corrected, one of only two strips still bearing that erroneous date (the other being 293: i).

5196: Garf tools

==Explanation==
In the original, Jon preceded this panel by opining how cute it is when cats bat a ball of yarn around, and followed this panel by rethinking his use of the term "cute".
Here, the described panels and the color have been removed, and the remaining panel's aspect ratio has been changed. A caption was added: "Garf tools." This is all a reference to a strip from The Far Side, captioned "Cow tools". This strip was infamously confusing to many readers, including The Far Side cartoonist Gary Larson's own mother. Reaction to "Cow tools" prompted him to put out a press statement in which he explained himself. This one comic got so many people talking about, and this curious about The Far Side that its readership expanded significantly. Said strip currently has a Wikipedia page and is a TV Tropes trope namer.

5197: Garfield, Bear Eater

==Explanation==
This idea came about from detailed observation of the running gag made from other remixes of the same source strip...notably how they tended to retain the penguin as a key focus. The author was thus inspired to take a stab at a similar idea...but in this case, the penguin was the first thing to go, and the North Pole setting was the first thing to be definitively retained. The author's notes tend to explain the rest of the idea.
==The author writes:==
The original strip made the classic North Pole penguin mixup. Quite a few Square Root contributions relocated the penguin to its native South Pole and sent Garfield there to eat it.
But what if Garfield stuck to his original itinerary of the North Pole... but ended up eating something more geographically appropriate for that location? Polar bears are somewhat rare north of 88° N (two degrees south of the North Pole), but are not completely unheard of, meaning Garfield could reasonably have eaten one at that location. Behold, a bear-eating cat! The alteration to Garfield's first line basically wrote itself from there.
Naturally, Garfield's third line had to have him making a far more outlandish claim of bear-eating. So, in an attempt to try to pull one over on Nermal, why not have him claim to eat a constellation? Technically he's eating stars at this point rather than actual bears, but since "ursa" means bear, it still fits the obvious-lie theme of the third panel — after all, if Nermal could figure out Garfield couldn't really eat a pterodactyl, velociraptor, archaeopteryx, dodo, or Stephens Island Wren, I'm sure Nermal would be smart enough to figure out Ursa Major wasn't actually a space-dwelling bear...
Original Comic: .
==Transcript==
Garfield: Yep, I've eaten a lot of bears in my time
Nermal: Really?
Garfield: Went to the North Pole once and ate a polar bear
Nermal: Wow!
Garfield: Went into space and ate Ursa Major, too
Nermal: Hey! Wait a minute!
==Trivia==
The second sentence of the first line of author's notes was initially cut off after the word "root" during the publishing process due to a coding bug; that bug has since been fixed.

5198: It Ain't Much (of a Translation)

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I like those 'IDK' [potentially NSFW] memes, so now Garfield is in on it! If you're wondering what Odie is actually saying, I translated "The Glamorous Life" into Dutch, hence the title.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Garfield: I shall now translate whatever Odie says
Odie: ZE DRAAGT EEN LANGE BONTJAS VAN NERTS OOK IN DE ZOMER IEDEREEN KENT HET VAN DE TERUGHOUDENDE KLEINE KNIPOOG HET MEISJE HEEFT VEEL AAN HAAR HOOFD ZE HEEFT GROTE GEDACHTEN, GROTE DROMEN EN EEN GROTE BRUINE MERCEDES SEPAN WAT IK DENK DIT MEISJE ZE WIL ECHT VERLIEFD ZIJN OP EEN MAN ZE WIL HET GLAMOUREUZE LEVEN LEIDEN ZE HEEFT DE AANRAKING VAN EEN MAN NIET NODIG ZE WIL HET GLAMOUREUZE LEVEN LEIDEN ZONDER LIEFDE IS HET NIET VEEL ZE ZAG HEM STAAN IN HET GEMARKEERDE GEDEELTE ALS JE HET MOET VRAGEN, KUN JE HET JE NIET VEROORLOVEN LINGERIE ZE GOOIDE HEM BROOD EN ZEI LAAT ME SCHREEUWEN WAT KON HIJ ZEGGEN IN HET DONKER?

5199: Learning with Garfield

==Explanation==
This is based on Adult Swim's failed TV pilot, Learning with Pibby. The reason why Pibby failed is because David Zaslav was ruling Warner Bros. Discovery, and that the Pibby creator, Dodge Greenley had a big contract with Nickelodeon
==The author writes:==
I did this because nobody has ever done a Learning with Pibby strip.
Original strips: , .
==Transcript==
Jon {running towards Garfield, looking panicked}: THE DARKNESS IS COMING!!!
Pibby {to Jon and Garfield}: You guys need to evacuate! This isn't a safe place...
{Garfield gets corrupted by the darkness}
Pibby {to Jon}: Oh, geez! Garfield's corrupted! Get out before you get corrupted, too!

51: Dark Side of the Lasagne

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon left the room and found his bow ties gone, for Garfield was burning them.
This edit gives the scenario a darker turn, as instead of bow ties burning, it's Odie, whose blood Jon has found on his bowl.
The title is likely a reference to the ultra-famous Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon.
==The author writes:==
Garfield has been around for so long, and has eaten so many chemicals, been affected by so many strange events, that surely he's likely to suddenly ... crack?
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: Garfield, you make a lovely fire.
Garfield: I do make a lovely fire.
Jon: Well, I gotta go get ready for my date. You enjoy your lovely fire.
Garfield: I'll enjoy my lovely fire.
Jon: Hey! Why is Odie's bowl covered in blood?
Garfield: He makes a lovely fire.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Environmental storytelling is the method of conveying narrative information not through direct text but through objects arranged in (you may want to sit down for this next bit) an environment: a physical environment, like the mise en scène of a theme park, or (more usually) a virtual environment, as in the world of a video game.
Alternatively, to quote games designer Ben Esposito's definition, "in game design, "environmental storytelling" is the art of placing skulls near a toilet".
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Jon is looking at an empty fishbowl, surrounded by splashes of water. Garfield looks on smugly}

5209: A Rather Moot Point at This Juncture

==Explanation==
The title is a line spoken by the spider that Garfield swatted in 2007-03-14. Presumably, one of the mutant spiders has decided to take revenge on Garfield for his spider-crushing habit.
The giant spider's line here is similar to Garfield's line in 3997: Nothing Unusual Here.
Aside from complementing the surrealism of the comic, the shaky retracing of the original strip was probably done so that the line-art of the giant spider would fit in.
The author note suggests a similarity between the events of this comic and the assassination of James A. Garfield.
==The author writes:==
Due to this unfortunate loss, Garfield now stars Jon's new pet tarantula, Chester Arthur. Continue business as usual.

==Transcript==
Garfield: Jon! Jon! The TV just said that giant mutant spiders are crushing the city!!

5210: Seurfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
A follow-up to the "Gardrian", ""Vincent Van Garf" and "Garfinsky" installments. Okay, so this time, the act of "painting" mentioned in the strip isn't one of the fine arts... Nevertheless (and no offense to Georges Seurat), out of all the masters who have unwittingly contributed to this series, this style is the one that's most likely to approximate how a cat might redecorate a kitchen.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Garfield: While people sleep, cats are busy

There is no source strip or date to this, because it's fully computer generated. I got access to some free uses of the DALL-E image processing AI. One of the prompts I gave it was "Garfield comic panel", hoping to make a few and put them together; instead of a panel, it gave full strips (restricted to the AI's square image format, of course). This was the closest to being comprehensible, and I liked the name "GAIDFFLLAID?".
