2473: Scrambled TV

==Explanation==
This strip takes three original Garfield strips (the 2012 one, in actuality, was recreated using the assets of the 2002 strips to get around the issue of differing backgrounds) and rotates their panels so that each line includes one panel from each of the original strips, thus creating new narratives that appear to make little sense. The first line depicts a murder mystery where the murderer is a moth, someone asks for the moth not to be pictured, then Garfield bringing up a noodle incident involving someone named Roberta. The second line depicts someone named Bob winning an ugly baby contest, with Bob apparently crawling onto the describer's neck, something Garfield believes cannot be improved by reality. The third line depicts Sherlock Holmes observing a caterpillar apparently turning into a human girl named Roberta Saconski, only for Holmes to quickly forget her name and remember the name "Bob", with Garfield noting how the years are catching up with Holmes.

2476: Garflub 3: The First Garflub

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
It occurred to me that, based on the formula of Garfield strips involving Jon not being able to read Garfield's thoughts, and instead responding only to his body language (or lack thereof), there was no reason Jon should take a pause for Garfield to "think" his greeting to the readers. This is how I imagine the first "take" of the seminal Garfield strip would go.
As you can see, it did not quite get off the ground sans hitch.

Jon: Hi, there... I'm Jon. I'm a cartoonist, and this is my cat, Garfield.

In the original Garfield strip, Jon tells Garfield that it's not good to chew his nails. Garfield holds up Odie's hand to see that he's chewing on Odie's nails.
Here, Jon has been replaced by the Orange Ball.

2479: Underfield

==Explanation==
In the original comic, Garfield responded to Jon by boasting of his own ability to shed (presumably thinking Jon was impersonating him).
Here, he instead makes a non-sequitur reference to the massively popular indie RPG Undertale. The game revolves around the dichotomy between humans and monsters (that is, non-humans of various types - skeletons, robots, ghosts, etc.) - before the events of the game proper, a war between the two races ended with the monsters sealed underground. As the game nears its end, it's revealed that the power of seven human souls (represented as single-colored hearts, as seen here) can permanently break the barrier between the underground and the surface - and the king of the monsters already has six, with the (human) player character serving as the last one he needs. (Incidentally, said character's soul is the traditionally-colored red heart).
However, it could also be referencing another part of the game. (Because of the spoilers, the explanation will be written in white, immediately after this sentence.) After defeating what appears to be the final boss (the aforementioned king, Asgore), another character (an evil flower named Flowey) abruptly kills him and steals the souls for himself. Given that both he and Garfield are malevolent entities, it's entirely possible that this was the intended reference all along.
Of course, the author's inspiration for this edit was this Tumblr post by "aquacycle" (who has since changed URLs to "scuttlebugjamboree") - a poorly-drawn picture of Garfield (in black and white, the same style Undertale uses for battles) proclaiming the exact same thing as he does in the final panel here. (It's all just a non-sequitur, of course, as is Tumblr's typical brand of humor.)
==The author writes:==
Based on a similar post on Tumblr from aquacycle. Also because Undertale and Garfield make little sense when mashed together.

247: Oh Snap!

==Explanation==
In the original, it was the woman who was the computer programmer, and Jon who asked for a date. Garfield's remark indicated that he didn't miss a beat.
Here, Jon claims to be a computer programmer (he may as well; how often does his last known profession come up?) and it's the woman who asks for a date. Garfield then calls the writing "unrealistic", based on the idea that a computer programmer would have been too busy learning how to program to work on things like social skills and hygiene. The author jokes that a computer programmer who doesn't fit this stereotype will be so occupied with a partner as to not take the time to complain.
==The author writes:==
I came up with this idea before remembering the likely audience. Thankfully anyone with evidence to the contrary will be too busy necking to complain.

2481: Underfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Undertale is a pretty darn popular game by now; I'm surprised it hasn't been referenced in a SRoMG strip yet. Maybe the references are just still stuck in the buffer.
There are blue flowers in the game called Echo Flowers; as the name implies, they echo whatever they hear over and over. When I saw #1590 in the archive, and the strip it was based on, this version practically wrote itself.
I could've gone with a Flowey reference instead, but that would've been significantly more work; I'd have to dig out the Garfield font from my font library (assuming it's still there), recolour the flower, possibly add a Flowey face... besides, it's so obvious someone probably would've beat me to it.

2482: Miiverse

==Explanation==
This strip essentially replaces the second panel of the 2001 original Garfield strip with a post from Nintendo's now-defunct social media network Miiverse with the panel's dialogue, with Jon's avatar being taken from the 2016 original Garfield strip to replace the Mii avatar originally there.
No link to the original Miiverse post was ever present in the transcript or its author's notes; even if the post had been linked, said link would've gone dead in the late parts of 2017 when Miiverse was discontinued.
==The author writes:==
Surprised that as of the time I'm submitting this, that nobody has made this joke.

2483: Spot The Difference With Garfield 8

==Explanation==
This is one in a series of SRoMG submissions, which highlight two Garfield strips that recycle the same basic joke. Here, the joke is that Garfield doesn't tell his age for one reason or another, leading the other to presume that he's old and simply doesn't want to admit it.

2484: Square Root of Garfield Plus Drawception

==Explanation==
As explained in Nathanial's comments, the comic is made up of the visual part of a Drawception game. The first panel in particular is a reference to the satirical video Garfielf, which is made up of intentionally poor drawings.
Panel	Artist 	Description 	Descriptor
1 	Draeren 	Garfield the cat 	TheEmbodimentOfKarma
2 	Bytor 	Garfield enters the vaporwave zone	Camwood
3 	Andrea Nowlin 	bear 	_xXSPODERMANXx_
4 	Band Child 	Bear 	shadow9542
5 	elephantboyq 	Annoyed brown bear 	Wlcky
6 	LuceInTheSkyWithGateKeys	Bear hates winter 	Cdawg
7 	Beeginey 	Evil black bear HATES SNOW 	The Xtreme Vocaloid
==The author writes:==
Drawception is like the Telephone Game, but with art; one person writes a sentence, and someone draws something based off of it, and someone describes it, and so on until the last panel (the max is 24). I used the prompt "A typical Garfield comic" and waited for something great to happen, and something great did happen; Garfield became a bear.
Original Drawception game: 2015-12-31.
==Transcript==
{In the first panel, Garfield is seen savagely chowing down on his cat food.}
{In the second panel, Garfield smiles absentmindedly as he begins moving at a fast speed, entering the 'vaporwave zone'.}
{In the third panel, Garfield has been reduced to a simple outline of his face, void of all his most recognizable features.}
{In the fourth panel, a bear floats in Garfield's place, not showing any care for what has happened.}
{In the fifth panel, the bear seems relatively content, if not a bit bored.}
{The bear stands in front of its cave and grows a bit angry in the sixth panel, crossing its arms and looking to the side as a way to show disdain towards the audience.}
{Finally, the bear faces the audience with its arms stretched out and eyes glowing red with anger.}
Bear: I'M A BEAR! I HATE SNOW!

2485: A man with a fork in a world of soup

==Explanation==
The original three-panel comic had Garfield awake and standing in the third panel, being unable to sleep through food analogies. Here, the third panel is a beat panel before Jon voices his realization that Garfield is dead.
The title comes from a quote by Noel Gallagher, of Oasis at the time, about his brother Liam, who had formed it. This was a few months before an altercation between them led Noel to leave Oasis and form Noel Gallagher's High flying Birds.
The fuller quote is "He’s rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup."
==The author writes:==
This one seemed kind of obvious.

248: Catchless Garfield

==Explanation==
This edit removes the sudden udder from Garfield's back, which is just as well, as we should have been able to see it from the slightly different angles presented in the first two. Thus, Garfield goes from being paranoid and unable to feel a peculiar mass on his back to just plain old paranoid.

2491: (Slightly) Less Humor, More Story: Shedding Edition

==Explanation==
Like 227: Less Humour, More Story! and 2003: 25th Birthday Special: Less Humour, More Story!: 2003 Edition, this edit removes one panel each from a group of strips in a multi-strip storyline. However, unlike those, and like 754: Less Story, More Humour, all strips retain their ultimate panels. The fourth strip has no panels removed, so, to compensate, the fifth gets its first two panels cut.

Really, this should be self-explanatory. I just cropped out some jokes/filler panels from the shedding saga, and made it into 12 panels.

I always thought Garfield's violent throttling of Jon in the original strip was too extreme for a mere wake-up call. Changing just one word reveals to us Garfield's true intentions all along.

2494: Jon's Instrumentality

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
A long explanation for this one, because most people won't understand it otherwise. In the movie End of Evangelion, the motion picture finale to the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, a famous (some might say infamous) scene occurs near the climax, where everyone on Earth turns into the primordial soup of life, LCL, in a process called Instrumentality. They see a vision of their most loved one embracing them, before promptly turning into the soup. (Yes, it's just as weird as it sounds.) One character, though (Shigeru Aoba, for those who care), doesn't see anybody before turning into LCL, and it's explained in the supplementary materials for the film that it's because he was a loner in life. I thought Jon was in the same predicament, thus this strip. (Of course, there is Liz, but I always thought she dated him out of sympathy, not love.)

249: garfield minus.

==Explanation==
The author makes reference to a webcomic called minus., in which we follow a little girl as she does various things both natural and supernatural. This can be somewhat horrifying to think about if you know what some children are willing to do even without powers like hers.
In the original strip, Garfield merely thought-spoke his reason (well, one of them) behind not eating mice; in this, he is heavily implied to have turned Jon into a mouse. This is not unlike the minus. strip in which Minus, having purchased a balloon which soon bursts, throws a rock at the vendor's balloon, wildly altering its trajectory so that it hits all of them. When he yells at her, she turns him into a balloon and has him pop.
==The author writes:==
You may already familiar with minus., but if you're not, it's a comic starring a quiet little girl with the power to do pretty much anything she wants on a whim, which basically means: do not tease her, and do not scold her, lest you die a strange death by Disproportionate Retribution.
So now we grant these powers to Garfield. Let's see what happens...
