4050: Garf N Ors

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
There's a popular Garfield and Friends review series called "Garf Gab" on YouTube and Dailymotion. In that series, the reviewer, Wyatt Duncan, has a rather strong hatred for the "and friends" bit of the show, U.S. Acres, also known as Orson's Farm. While watching that series, I began to think about Garfield actually crossing over with Orson in a comic. Thus, this was created.
By the way, no, Orson did not die after this comic. He just got shipped to Abu Dhabi with Nermal.
Original U.S. Acres strip: 1988-04-21.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Orson the Pig is standing on a table, bored. Garfield is also there, equally bored}
Orson: Don't ruin today
{Garfield gives a smirk to Orson}
Garfield: Okay
{Garfield turns and walks away, looking back at Orson with a naughty grin}
Garfield: See you tomorrow
{Orson gives a worried look to the audience}
{...}
{The very next day, "Have you seen me?" images of Orson begin to appear on milk cartons}
==Trivia==
The U.S. Acres strip credit is unlinked; even if it had been linked, such a link would have likely no longer worked as intended due to either the garfield.com site takedown or GoComics dropping U.S. Acres, both of which are likely to have happened while this strip was in the queue (the former the day before this strip debuted, the latter two months prior). Regardless, the original U.S. Acres strip in question has been preserved on the Garfield wiki on Fandom here.

4053: Hey, Jon, Garfield Eats Houseplants

==Explanation==
Jon has had Garfield as a pet for a month and eight days shy of ten years as of this strip. Garfield's insistence upon at least attempting to eat houseplants -- as well as his larger unwillingness to change behaviors that annoy or cause injury to Jon -- is well-documented, even given that period. So for Jon to not only continue to buy houseplants (only occasionally making purchases that hurt Garfield if -- or rather, when -- he tries to eat them), but take someone else's prized houseplant into his care in the vain hope that Garfield will not do anything to damage it is incredibly naïve.

4059: Garfield Plus an Even MORE Spicy Pepper

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Since the publication of SRoMG #1940: Garfield Plus an Even Spicier Pepper, Ed Currie, who created the Carolina Reaper, created Pepper X, a pepper that he claims is twice as spicy. Though unconfirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records, this would mean that Pepper X is 3.18 million units on the Scoville scale.
I would've had Garfield eat a Dragon's Breath pepper, as it is hotter than the Carolina Reaper also, but it was unseated from its title only months after it claimed it. So in the interest of being current...

405: A Good Meal

==Explanation==
The racist content in this strip is the implication that the Chinese are among the groups of people who don't hold cats and dogs as being above being eaten, and continue to eat them even where such things are looked down upon. The post-publication note says such a thing wouldn't be published if it were submitted now, but notes that the strip should remain as a record of the mistake made by creating and publishing it in the first place.
But what if this had occurred? Depending on how soon Jon felt like going out for Chinese food, Garfield and Odie might have been rescued... or it may have been too late, with the added possibilities of Jon either discovering or never realizing their fate.
==The author writes==
In the real version, they were going into a pet store, where Jon later ended up buying them back. Imagine the look of surprise on Jon's face, were this twisted version to continue along similar lines...
[Note added after publication: I would choose not to publish this strip now due to racist content. I leave it here as historical record, as I am a very strong believer in cataloguing and pointing out mistakes, rather than removing them and pretending they never happened.]

Kind of inspired by SRoMG #2065, I wanted to go beyond what MS Paint shows for its automatic transformation/approximations for a Garfield strip into the 16-colors format, but I wanted to fully translate the strip into that color, making it kinda look like it came from the MS version of Chip's Challenge.

4061: Scooby

==Explanation==
This strip pokes fun at the Square Root of Minus Garfield strip approval process.
==The author writes:==
Shaggy and Scooby had no idea what they were in for when they agreed to become SRoMG admins. They probably should not have let the Scooby Snacks do the talking.
Anyway, I watched the episode of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! on which this trip was based, and I felt like this one scene could use the SRoMG treatment. This scene, to be exact*. And Scrappy finally has a decent job!
Also consider this a little tribute to the original Shaggy himself, Casey Kasem. (Speaking of voices, was it really a good idea to hire one half of Garfunkel and Oates as Velma Dinkley? I mean, really.)

You, Fred, want us, Shaggy and Scooby, to filter through a bunch of desecrated Garfield strips {Shaggy's slideshow shows a panel from the first SRoMG strip} all based on one joke? {He's referring to Garfield Minus Garfield.}
Fred: Well, I would probably word it differently, but...
Shaggy {displaying an ad for the webcomic, which depicts Garfield with a "âˆšâˆ’"}: So, like, what you're saying is that two guys with no experience with this sort of thing... {next panel} Should look through piles of Photoshopped Garfields to see which ones make the cut and, like, which don't?
Fred: You could've gone through at least fifty by now.
Shaggy: We have Scrappy for that.

4063: Colourist is being a bit lazy

==Explanation==
This strip and its author's notes makes fun of coloring errors that have plagued this strip from time to time, no matter which archive one looks at; the author's notes takes a few examples of prior Square Root of Minus Garfield strips--in particular, 273: Night Garfield, 355: Blue Mouse Group, 983: The colourist - unaware or more aware than us all?, and 1300: Falling Garfield Fixed--going out of their way to fix those errors. An editor's note after the author's notes proper makes mention of differences between the garfield.com archive (which had infamously been taken down within the month prior to this strip being published, but was presumably still up at time of submission) and the archive hosted on the now-busted images.ucomics.com domain (its secure-domain mirror, picayune.uclick.com, is still available); #273 and #355's original strips saw late corrections to the garfield.com versions prior to the archive's takedown and thus differences still persist, #983's original strip was apparently always correct on garfield.com but not on other archives, and #1300's original strip at present has no discernable differences between the archives.
This strip's corresponding original Garfield strip does not show any signs of the large amount of gray objects being an actual coloring error; it is less likely to be, as the original Garfield strip is a Sunday strip and thus colorization choices would likely not have been applied as an afterthought unlike with weekday strips, though differences between archives still exist due to differences in treatment in color between archives (the former garfield.com archive for this strips corresponding original Garfield strip has brighter colors than other archives, presumably due to differences in color treatment).
==The author writes:==
The colourist has made mess ups multiple times; sometimes we've fixed them and displayed them on SRoMG*. However, in this comic, it was just annoying laziness rather than comic ruining. It's definitely disappointing that Jim actually put effort into making this comic visually interesting, before the colourist just decided to make everything chrome...

4066: They Should've Named Him "Spot"

==Explanation==
The original was a Sunday strip. In it, Garfield and Odie were running through the house, culminating in a crash that turned out to have involved the lamp. Here, only the first, fourth, and fifth panels were used, and Garfield has been removed. The implication is that Odie urinated in the house. The title is taken from the punchline of the strip for August 15, 1978, in which it was canon that he urinated on the floor.

I don't think this needs any further context.

4069: Did Somebody Say McDonald's?

==Explanation==
This strip takes the premise of the original strip and makes it so that it's the McDonald's logo coming up toward Garfield up close; the author's notes explain the reasoning. This strip's title is that of an actual McDonald's advertising campaign; it was the North American English-language slogan between 1997 and 2000.
The author's notes makes mention of McDonald's at one point selling Garfield mugs, and Garfield did indeed appear in commercials advertising them; this promotion happened in 1987 (incorrect attribution of it happening in 1978 tends to appear a lot around the Internet due to a character copyright being mistaken for manufacture date), and the mugs are nowadays infamous for containing excessive amounts of lead and cadmium in their paint.
==The author writes:==
I think what gave me this idea is that the bird, in the first two panels, is drawn as the letter "M", very similar to that which McDonald's uses as its logo. Heck, had it not been for the fact that Garfield rarely if ever features product placement, this could have worked as an actual Garfield strip (though I think the punchline of the actual strip works well too).
Ironically, at some point Garfield mugs were actually available at McDonald's. Garfield even appeared in a commercial or two.
Original strip: .

406: Garfield Minus Garfield Plus Garfield's Dialogue

==Explanation==
Mostly sufficiently explained; it's possible that the choice of strip is due to Jon mentioning thought and Odie not being able to see Garfield. If not, it's a good coincidence.
==The author writes==
The central idea of Silent Garfield is that if Jon owns a cat named Garfield, the cat isn't thinking or saying anything; he's just sitting there, listening to his owner talk. Garfield Minus Garfield is based on the idea that Jon doesn't own a cat at all (or, by extension, have any interaction with any other living being). The implication in both is that everything Garfield "says" is a figment of Jon's imagination, and we are seeing what is actually happening.
But what about the idea between the two extremes? If Jon doesn't own a cat, but hears the cat talking, where does the dialogue come from? One could argue that Jon is suffering from auditory hallucinations inherent in schizophrenia. But most schizophrenics do not have visual hallucinations. If he only hears Garfield, how is he looking at the cat? Clearly, he must see a cat, and hear it. But in Silent Garfield, we can only see it and can't hear it. Here, we cannot see the cat, but we can hear his hallucinated dialogue.
Incidentally, writing and rereading this author's note makes me think that I've spent way too much time in college.

Jon: I thought Odie was chasing you around the tree out back.
