2530: Disaster Days with Comedic Ending

==Explanation==
 Lubaf's original idea was to use panels from three different strips, based on their dates being the dates of different disasters. The first panel was from the Challenger disaster, the third panel was from the beginning of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, and the second panel was the premiere of Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakuel. This author felt a little rearranging was warranted, because you'd really have to have a low opinion of the movie to place it in the same league as disasters which actually claimed lives (as opposed to, at worst, disappointing and/or disgusting movie-goers). The rearrangement orders the panels in accordance with the comedy trope Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking, in which you put the least serious one last. (He also used the correct date on all three, as opposed the the original SRoMG strip, where one panel was from the wrong date... a mistake Lubaf left in so his strip would have something in common with the disasters (namely, poor quality control).)
Additionally, the author of this strip made a pun on the trope name by using the name of the U.S. Acres/Orson's Farm character "Orson"; following that, he made an additional version of the strip in which he used a panel from that comic for the Deepwater Horizon date, though the strip the panel came from first ran not long after the Challenger disaster. This had the effect of mixing the dates even more.
==The author writes:==
While I respect Lubaf's decision to assemble the comic from panels arranged in chronological order, I feel the idea could use a little...
...Orson, Murder, and Jaywalking.
Of course, if I really want Orson, Murder, and Jaywalking -- and willing to mix up the order a bit more -- then perhaps it should look more... like this:

==Trivia==
The link to the U.S. Acres/Orson's Farm strip went dead with the removal of its comic strip archive from the garfield.com site. Although GoComics offered U.S. Acres/Orson's Farm in the past, that strip has since been removed from that site as well, leaving the link to the U.S. Acres/Orson's Farm strip hopelessly dead at least for the time being; nonetheless, the strip in question has been preserved on the Garfield wiki on Fandom here.

2531: Das Neue Rathaus

==Explanation==
In the original strip, the mouse with a flag of cheese on it declares this house property of the empire of mice and walks away while still holding the flag. Jon Arbuckle calls for Garfield but Garfield shushes him because he can't let the mice hear Jon. 
In this strip, "The Empire of Mice" has been changed into "The Order of Rodentia". In taxonomy, "Rodentia" is indeed an order, the one including mice.
The title is taken from this page on Wikipedia.

2533: Rangerfield

==Explanation==
Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers is sort of an update of the old Chip & Dale series. Where Chip & Dale took place in a world of anthropomorphic animals such as Donald Duck, CDRR, as it is often abbreviated to, takes place in a human-dominated world where animals generally do not speak to the humans, and small animals in particular, can't be properly understood by them without assistance. This series focuses on "a small, but efficient, battalion of do-gooders devoted to helping those in trouble." (Would you like to see their news clipping?) Their cases often start out too small for the police to bother with, but turn out to be tied into some mysterious happening that they are looking into.
The character in the first comic is Dale, the oldest friend of fellow chipmunk Chip (not shown in either comic). He is the more fun-oriented of the two, hence his use here. The original chipmunk liked to roll in mustard, prompting Garfield to wonder if this was a sting operation; here, Dale is only concerned if Garfield is related to Fat Cat, one of the major villains of the series.
The character in the second comic is Monterey "Monty" Jack, friend of the late (probably) Geegaw Hackwrench, father of Gadget (also not in either comic). He also appears to go back a ways with Zipper, a fly (geddit? geddit? Also, not in either comic). He has an intense cheese addiction, which tends to induce "cheese attacks" (in which he attempts to get to and eat all the cheese within his zone of perception) that often get the group -- or just him -- into or out of trouble. Thus, here, he's consumed all the cheese in the Arbuckle refrigerator's cheese drawer; unusually for him, he's left little I.O.U.s for the cheese's owner to find. He has a stereotypically Australian accent, and uses terms such as "croickey", possibly a euphemistic alteration of "Christ". He also has an intense dislike of cats, though this may have softened a bit by the end of "Catteries Not Included".
"Rescue Rangers, away!" is the group's catchphrase for departing to work on a case.
An "I.O.U." is an informal written statement indicating that its writer intends to pay a debt incurred, or at least make someone think they intend to pay the debt. Rather than being a pure acronym, it is a homophone for what it means: "I owe you."
==The author writes:==
I wanted to give a shout-out to Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, but I came up with two different ideas on how to do it. So, instead of only using one and discarding the other, I compromised.

2534: Spoot

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield registered this level of surprise at seeing Snoopy, of Charles Schulz's Peanuts fame. Here, the image on Jon's shirt is of Twilight Sparkle, one of the main characters of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Wearing such a shirt would mark Jon as a "brony" (i.e., a fan of the show, though some people have a more restrictive definition), for better or for worse... and often, unfortunately, worse, in the eyes of many people who will assume things about him (generally to do with sexuality) and not be persuaded otherwise by facts.
Oddly, the title calls attention to the sound effect, present in the original comic, rather than the changed content.

2536: In The Wrong Strip Again

==Explanation==
This strip imagines Garfield experiencing an "out-of-strip moment" as the title and his last line in the strip implies. This situation portrays a recolored Jon as if he were indeed his rich, macho alter-ego Stefano, with Stefano's dialogue implying him to be preparing for a high-class date; Garfield concludes he's in the wrong strip, as he still remembers the actual Jon.
==The author writes:==

2538: Pure imagination

==Explanation==
A rather simple edit, this one replaces a condescending dog with an image of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka in the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

253: Garfloraled, Part 1

==Explanation==
The author made a series of three strips in which Garfield, originally his normal orange with black stripes, had the coloration of the chair, and vice versa. In the original, Garfield sneezes due to the floral print, as if it produced pollen; here, he sneezes because of cat dander, an allergen often misattributed to the hair itself.
The author's note also mentions a die-rolling program, which was programmed to recognize die rolls in the form xdy+z, where x is the number of dice (in this case, 1), y is the number of sides (30, 12, and 30 again), and z is the modifier (1977 for the first one, and no modifiers for the others). This was done back when the linked searchable archive was on nfshost, and only went up to sometime in 2007.
==The author writes:==
A funny (eh, to me) story about how I came to choose this strip. I was using a die-rolling program to select a date to put into the search: 1d30+1977, 1d12, and, based on the 1d12 result, 1d30. Well, when I got the result for the 1d30, I inadvertently ignored the result, and used the 30 instead. But I immediately had an idea for it, from which sprang three other ideas, so I went with it.
In all three of the ones I sent based on it, Garfield's pattern and the pattern of the chair are transposed. We see one consequence here.

2544: Garfield, With Only One Word Changed

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I considered changing Garfield's line in the last panel to "wait a second...", but I thought the idea that Jon attempts to murder Garfield every morning, but Garfield foils him by sleeping in, was, oddly, even funnier than the implication that Jon pulled one over on Garfield verbally. It certainly conforms to the Standard Garfield Joke Logic Standard much more closely.
Discussion question: ignoring pure re-framing, such as found in "Garfield Minus Humour" or "Identity Function Garfield", is this the smallest change to a Garfield strip that changes the joke, or does "Subtly Less Subtle Garfield", or some other strip, hold that title?
Original strip: .

2545: Meme Eater

==Explanation==
The strip combines three commonly-used Garfield strips.
The first, the January 13, 1996 strip involving Garfield telling Nermal about birds he's eaten, has been edited multiple times to correct various errors on Garfield's part.
The second, the infamous "pudding pops" strip, has mostly been used to make puns on Garfield Minus Garfield by editing the middle panel to replace Garfield. Some edits have made reference to the waning production of pudding pops, hence Garfield mentioning going back in time to eat one here.
The third, the "donut wars" strip, has had the signs indicating that the donut is Jon's and that Garfield ate it edited in various ways.

2549: My Reaction to Garfield Chickens Out Coming Out

==Explanation==
This strip essentially takes many panels involving Garfield dancing and weaved together a narrative involving the wait for Garfield Chickens Out: His 61st Book (which collects the original Garfield strips between 2013-06-30 and 2014-01-25); as the dancing tapers off, Garfield asks where the book is, after which a copy of the book is tossed at Garfield.
This strip was first published the day after Garfield Chickens Out: His 61st Book was first published; it is likely this strip was created and planned in advance, as upcoming Garfield strip compilation books tend to have their release dates known for awhile in advance.

254: Almost Everywhere Zero Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The no.80 strip doesn't fully utilise (or alternatively does, just doesn't mention it) the definition of the Zero Function. So I decided to take product of the identity function and the characteristic function of the Sierpinski Carpet. In other words, every point belonging to the Sierpinski Carpet retains its original colour, while others points will be black. Since the Sierpinski Carpet is a fractal, it has measure zero, making the function zero almost everywhere.
The tragic lack of infinite-resolution bitmaps make an accurate depiction impossible, so I decided to compromise, and follow through only the first 3 steps of the construction of the Sierpinski Carpet. Of course, a pitch-black rectangle very much like no.80 would be a more accurate depiction of the function; I think my version illustrates the concept more nicely, and has the added benefit of not being a blatant repost with a fancy, long-winded alternative description.
The original strip is the same as in no.80: .

It is presumed that the 2001 and 2011 original Garfield strips were not meant to be formally credited as strip credits. This is likely due to a quirk in the transition between the old and current strip crediting systems; the process used to make the transition looked through the entire author's notes, rather than just the portion corresponding to the old strip crediting system, for links to Garfield strips and duly listed them as strip credits.
