2175: Square Root Of Minus Sunim Fo Toor Erauqs

==Explanation==
This title is a palindrome to the site right there.
In the original comic, Garfield tells Jon to smell his breath. 
In this version of the strip, Garfield's line has been replaced by a palindrome. The palindrome in question comes from "Weird Al" Yankovic's song "Bob", previously used for the palindromes in #33: Garfield's D-Leif Rag.
==The author writes:==
I was looking up palindromes and one that contained the word lasagna caught my eye. I said to no one in particular, "I should turn this into a SRoMG." So I did. I guess you really can do anything you put your mind to.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: I had planned to have some of that lasagna tonight.
Jon: But no! You ate the entire thing!
Jon: You are so selfish!
Garfield: Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog.

2178: Garflub

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
It happens to the best of actors. You're on the stage, the cameras are rolling, it's your turn to deliver dialogue... and your mind goes blank. There are those who can ad-lib convincingly, but as we've seen previously, Garfield isn't one of them. And as in that strip, Jon has little patience for his fellow actor's shortcomings.
Actually, I didn't remember the existence of #1637 when I made this. I just saw the original and thought, "Hmm, that looks like a blown take."

2179: Exty Six

==Explanation==
The original strip's year was 2009. Here, the author turned the date into 20X6 and replaced Jon's head with that of Stinkoman, a character from the 20X6 era in the Homestar Runner universe.
The 20X6 era had its birth in said universe in the Strong Bad email "japanese cartoon", which satirizes stereotypical anime, as well as video games that take place in a time of obviously advanced technology which may take an unknown period of time to develop, if it ever does; thus, the creators of these media choose to give a year with the last or second-to-last digit -- or both -- replaced with "X".
At least in the Homestar Runner universe, the "X" part of the year is pronounced "exty", applying the "-ty" suffix commonly used in multiplying single-digit numbers by 10. (Granted that "1" is not done that way, and that other numbers -- 2, 3, 4 (in spelling, anyway), and 5 -- undergo more changes than that.)
==The author writes:==
By way of explanation.

217: Talking Scale Minus Garfield... ?

==Explanation==
In a take on the Garfield Minus Garfield approach, the scale initially acts as though Garfield is standing on it. When it realizes no one is on it, it defaults to what it says before being stepped on in the original strip.
==The author writes:==
The original strip is from . 
One would think, in a world without Garfield, that various beings would adjust their behaviour accordingly. And then, there is the talking scale.
Is it malfunctioning? Is it pining for days of obese cats that are perhaps long past, or even non-existent? Does it know something we don't? Or is it possessed?
==Transcript==
{A weight scale is alone. Garfield is nowhere to be seen}
Scale: Augh get-it-off-me get-it-off-me.
Scale: ?
Scale: Hello, I'm RX-2, your talking scale. If you step on me, I'll tell you your weight.

2180: Smashfield

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon asks Liz if she would like to go out; to his surprise, Liz says that she'd be content just ordering pizza and staying home with him, Garfield and Odie. In this version, Liz's dialogue is edited so that she says that she'd be happy just playing Super Smash Bros. Super Smash Bros. is a crossover fighting game series published by Nintendo; the author of this strip created another Super Smash Bros.-related strip twenty strips before.
==The author writes:==
Because Smash Bros. is Serious Business!
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: What do you want to do for New Year's Eve, Liz? How about dinner and dancing?</br> 
Liz (petting Odie): I think I'd be happy just playing Super Smash Bros. with you, Garfield, and Odie.</br>

2181: Binky Cereal: Binky Puffs Rule

==Explanation==
To follow up from the original Garfield strip's car horn and the Square Root of Minus Garfield strip's yelling, this cereal sings a song sung by a different Binky; appropriately, one that shares its name with a supporting character (usually) in the animated PBS show Arthur. The author's notes explain everything handily, but what's worth noting is that the next episode, "Meet Binky" (which, given that each episode is 11 minutes long, would normally air immediately after "Binky Rules") reveals that said band is actually holographic. Also worth noting is that the song in question is actually "Matalii ja Mustii" by the Finnish band Värttinä, and the translated lyrics are... saucy, to say the least.
As for the rest of the description, many Square Root of Minus Garfield strips (including some of Nyperold's) utilize a font called "Garfield", which is sort of similar to the font used in real Garfield strips. One problem, however, is that the font is pure black (or whatever color you choose to make it), whereas the real strips' default lettering is made up of shades of gray, as well. It's fairly noticeable, particularly when a strip uses both. (It's even more noticeable when the author doesn't bother to add spaces so the text settles into the balloons like they would in the real strip, instead leaving it left-justified.) Copying and pasting letters from the same strip or surrounding ones can have its own issues, but is generally less conspicuous.
==The author writes:==
So, Sloublues supports the inclusion of more Binky, eh?
Back in Season 3 of Arthur, there was an episode called "Binky Rules". In it, graffiti was discovered bearing the titular statement; this was, of course, suspected to be the work of Tough Customer leader Binky Barnes. After an investigation on the part of both the Holmesian Fern and the private-eye-esque Buster, the culprit was found to be none other than employees of a radio station promoting a band called... Binky, whose music had been playing at different times throughout the episode.
Naturally, the cereal is singing, well, that song.
(Also, I replaced the Garfield font with letters from Garfield strips. Honestly, while the font is more convenient, it does stick out like a sore thumb, so I like to go the extra mile these days.)

{after Jon leaves, Garfield looks from behind the box, a look of mischief present}
Garfield: (now has an expression of scheming as he rubs his paws together) First I think I'll eat it;s tender little leaves, then I'll pick my teeth with it's stems, followed by stomping the rest of the plant out of existence.

2184: Damm, I'm mad

==Explanation==
This strip was inspired by this topic on the Irregular Webcomc! forums; the author's notes make a reference as to how Lubaf ends posts on the forums, with what's here stated as "changes his nick constantly" differing with each post.
==The author writes:==
In the forum discussion of #2175, Luc "changes his nick constantly" French issued the following challenge:
:"A truly palindromic strip of sqrt(-Garfield). That is, all of: A) mirrored in the middle, B) making sense as is, and C)featuring dialogue (as we've had mirrored strips before)."
Here it is. The difficult part is the "making sense". Most palindromes make no sense on their own, so I had to provide a context in which the non-sequiturish nature of the dialogue at least appears plausible.
We have to assume that Jon is trying to find a punchline for one of his cartoons, and is bouncing some ideas off Garfield. As we can see, Garfield is more a pacing kind of thinker, while Jon looks for inspiration in a book of country lore.

218: Garfield Music

==Explanation==
Sufficiently explained in the author's note.
==The author writes:==
We talk a lot about rhythm as we discuss comics. It might be a good idea to analyse comics via musical notation! Maybe. Notation aimed for percussive instruments would be much more natural than the standard one I used, but we of course want the familiar look. It's more fun.
I can't do music, and I don't know the notation either. ...Well, some Wikipedia reading later I know much more. Enough to deliver an idea.
I reserved the diatonic scale for the main characters (in arbitrary order): G is for Garfield, A for Jon Arbuckle, D for Odie the Dog, C for Nermal the World's Cutest Kitten. Flattened notes are for other characters, without fixed designations (not that it makes any difference in such a short piece). I used Db for dogs, Bb for bats and high Gb for generic statists.
I trust this would sound horrible.
I had no notation software and felt I should manage well enough without. I used Inkscape as machinery and Wikimedia Commons as a provider of building blocks ( of which are ).

2190: Detente Flowers

==Explanation==
The original strip had Jon showing Garfield his squirting flower, prompting Garfield to show his "clawing paw", presumably to talk Jon out of possibly squirting him with the flower.
Here, the strip swaps the first two panels, resulting in Garfield showing his claw before Jon stops him by showing his flower.
"Detente", to answer the author's question, means the easing of hostility or strained relations.
==The author writes:==
A strip that somehow still makes sense the other way around. I don't even understand "detente"'s usage here. 
Original strip: .

2193: All You Need is Me

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon asked Garfield what the world needs more of. Garfield answered "me!" Jon answered "love!" and Garfield said "The world loving me!". 
This strip flips around and exaggerates the premise of the 2015 original strip, here Jon asked Garfield what the world needs more of. Jon answered "Me!" And suddenly Garfield turned into another Jon. Elements from a 1982 strip were brought in to punctuate the strip.
Unknown to the author and other SRoMG readers at the time, this strip wound up being the unwitting instigator of doom as far as a Square Root of Minus Garfield running gag would be concerned--this innocuously remixed strip proved to be the progenitor of a trend of so-called "lazy edits" designed to lampoon lazy edits. The author of 2290: Duplifield would credit this Square Root of Minus Garfield strip in their own remix of the premise and challenged others to create a trend of subsequently "lazier" edits; three different strips after that--4160: One Even Better/Worse (dispensing with the joke's setup), 4704: One-downsmanship (dispensing with the effort), and 4897: Going deeper into lack of effort (dispensing with the text aesthetics)--would all claim to be the ultimate culmination of the trend, but the actual culmination of the trend ended up proving to be 4898: nothing dispensing with a strip altogether; #4160 inspired several other branches of the trend, including a branch that came after #4898.

2194: Bigger

==Explanation==
This strip exaggerates the 1993 original Garfield strip's key joke; in this case, with the aid of a panel from the 1999 original Garfield strip, the refrigerator Garfield was looking at has now become bigger than even the entire planet Earth, and can be seen from the moon.

==Trivia==
The version of the strip credits corresponding to the old crediting system was hit with a mojibake error in a later site recoding effort; it has not been recreated here due to the current crediting system not including the mojibake on top of the inclusion of two different crediting systems usually being redundant.
*The mojibake in the old crediting system is superficial; the underlying link worked until the unsecured "images.ucomics.com" domain busted for unrelated reasons.

2195: Garfield plus the Drawing Game

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This is a result of a game my family plays called the Drawing Game. It's like Telephone: first someone writes down something that can be drawn, and passes it to the next person, who draws whatever that is. Then, the second person passes the drawing to another person, who tries to guess what that is, and then passes their guess to the next person, who draws the guess.
As you can see, the strip did not translate well, when the third person didn't describe it, and the fourth person having no drawing ability. Although, the fourth person did come up with an actual strip to draw.
