5352: Rec(Garfield, Garfield)

==Explanation==
Some scientific calculators have functions named Rec() and Pol(), which convert a complex number from polar to rectangular form, and vice versa. The title uses "Rec(Garfield, Garfield)" to refer to a complex number whose real and imaginary part are both Garfield, though this is not the proper usage of Rec(), as Rec() itself does not return a complex number, but rather interprets the two input numbers as a complex number written in polar form, and returns the coordinates of the implied complex number in rectangular form. A proper name for this comic could be "Garfield Plus (i Times Garfield)".
The author used the "random" button on SRoMG to get a random number, n, then combined the nth strip of Garfield with the nth strip of Square Root of Minus Garfield. SRoMG has less strips than Garfield, which is why it was used to generate n.
==The author writes:==
I took an nth SRoMG strip and combined it with an nth Garfield strip, where n was decided with the "Random" button on SRoMG and of course it turned out to be a Pudding Pops strip.
sluha.pri.ee includes the number of each strip, though you have to navigate by date, so I just found the 613th strip (1980-02-21) by trial and error. Determining what date is a certain amount of days after another date is probably a feature of the Doomsday method, but... look. I'm making Garfield edits here. I don't have time for such frivolous non-sense.
Pol(Garfield, Garfield) will be left as an exercise to the reader.

5354: Spider Abuse Extension

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
In the Garfield from the Trash Bin: Rescued Rejects & Outrageous Outtakes book, a picture of Garfield visiting a spider is noted. It seems to be a scrapped ending of the 2001 strip, so I hacked together the ending using a Feb 2001 strip and 2016 strip for base pose and hands holding the magazine. Admittedly, the abrupt shot of the spider alone in a full body cast works better.

5355: Finger

==Explanation==
Jon originally videotaped how his entire date went on TV last night, and he got unamused to see his date slashing his tires. Garfield thinks that she's waving.
The punchline changes it to Jon telling Garfield she was waving, with only one finger, as Garfield pointed out.

5362: Pooffield

==Explanation==
The author gained inspiration to create this strip while on a catch-up binge of reading Garfield and Pearls Before Swine roughly two months after his mother's death. Upon catching the Pearls Before Swine strip in question, the author saw the setup as an ideal counter to the Garfield in 2053 running gag (well, as ideal a counter that can be done with the author's usual lame premises); from there, the author sought a Garfield strip from roughly a similar timeframe to drop the premise and much of the key dialogue into, and whipped it up from there. Unlike the Pearls Before Swine strip, Jon, Garfield, and Jim Davis each have a line, unlike where Rat had two lines, Stephan Pastis had one line, and Goat was silent.
This strip serves as a counter to Garfield in 2053 by bringing up the possibility that the Garfield comic strip does not become a franchise zombie upon Jim Davis's death and indeed will end either before or as a result of Jim's death. Note that the assumption presented here of the Garfield cast going "poof" upon Jim's death is hypothetical, much in the same fashion that the premise of the Garfield in 2053 running gag is also a hypothetical; all potential counters to the Garfield in 2053 running gag made during Jim's lifetime would have to deal in hypotheticals, as they would deal in details that cannot become solidified as fact until Jim's death. Unlike Garfield in 2053, however, this strip makes no assumptions that Jim's death--essentially the point where the Garfield cast goes "poof" as hypothesized by this strip--will come before a certain timeframe; Jim's death cannot be accurately predicted until it actually happens. (The Garfield in 2053 gag assumes Jim will have for certain died by 2053; although that assumption is a likely possibility, it is as of present not a certainty--and thus still a hypothetical--as Jim still being alive by then is still within the realm of possibility; Jim would be aged 107-108 at the time if indeed he is still alive come 2053.)
The author's note brings up the day of the week the original Garfield strip ran on; the author couldn't resist putting the usual quip of Garfield not being a fan of Mondays into the product based on the script, despite the fact that the Garfield strip actually ran on a Friday; the Pearls Before Swine strip had the stated day be a Tuesday, which was indeed the day of the week it ran on.
Although not the last such strip to run (a few of this author's strips created before this one have yet to run), this strip was the last time the author used 600-pixel wide material to make a Square Root of Minus Garfield strip based around a singular base strip; the author started using higher-quality material afterward.

Just because he isn't in the PewDiePie stratosphere of hundreds of millions doesn't mean he hasn't built a connection of solid friends, acquaintances and admirers, even if it's only a handful. People are still people, and that makes these connections all the more valuable and meaningful. When Garfield makes his crack, Jon begs to differ!

==Explanation==
As it was presented originally, the comic was simply Jon walking back and forth between three panels, with Garfield watching.

(The original site was accompanied by a snippet of the song itself.)

5370: Garfate

==Explanation==
This strip turns a picture of Saber from Fate/Stay Night, the game that began the Fate series of visual novels, into a strip panel, then uses two panels from the credited original Garfield strip to portray Garfield as mocking the series, possibly by a perceived invocation of the I Am Not Shazam trope involving Garfield calling Saber "Fate".
This strip debuted on, for most of the world, the date after a remastered version of Fate/Stay Night was announced for upcoming release on PC and Nintendo Switch complete with the game's first ever release in western territories; it is presumed this strip was made long before this point, but drawn into the buffer in conjunction with the announcement. The announcement first made the rounds at roughly 1:45 PM UTC on 2024-01-30, with this strip debuting at 9:10 AM UTC the following day (9:10 AM is the time, not affected by daylight saving time anywhere, new strips of mezzacotta features typically go live). A small portion of the world saw the strip debut on the same day as the announcement; time zones between UTC -9:30 westward toward UTC -12 saw both announcement and strip appear on 2024-01-30 (the latter at 11:40 PM UTC -9:30), while time zones between UTC +10:30 eastward toward UTC +14 saw both announcement and strip appear on 2024-01-31 (the announcement at roughly 12:15 AM UTC +10:30). It is unknown which of these time situations is true where within Australia the Comics Irregulars are headquartered, as daylight saving time was in effect in the southern states at the time; the states and territory that observe daylight saving time (UTC +10:30 in South Australia; UTC +11 in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory) had already begun 2024-01-31 at the time of the announcement, but the states and territory not observing daylight saving time (UTC +8 in Western Australia; UTC +9:30 in the Northern Territory; UTC +10 in Queensland) were still on 2024-01-30 at the time of the announcement.
The original version of Fate/Stay Night is a very much not-safe-for-work release; the new remastered version is, however, based on cleaner versions of the game previously released on Playstation 2 and Playstation Vita, with the most work-unsafe content already removed.
Any views concerning Fate/Stay Night conveyed within the jabs portrayed in the strip are the author's own, and do not reflect the views of Square Root of Minus Garfield or the views of this very wiki.

5373: Thorfield Ragnorak

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
My wife and I will often joke with each other with the "Because that's what heroes do" meme from Thor: Ragnarok for things that are completely mundane, or during narrated recaps on TV or audiobooks, where every sentence is "someone did something" and I follow up each sentence with the meme.
I wondered if SRoMG had used that meme at all and found there were no published comics. Then I did a search for "Thor" and there was only one published comic, more focused on Thor's cape. Doing a quick search of Garfield comics for the phrase "why did", it turns out the first time Jon asks Garfield this question is at the end of a week where the storyline has Garfield looking for a Sludge Monster and putting on a sugar bowl as a helmet. Needless to say it was easy to go from there and change his fork and helmet into Thor's accoutrements.

{Thorfield with winged helmet and Mjölnir appears surprised}
