367: ASCIIfield

==Explanation==
This strip was inspired by #224; however, instead of a hexadecimal representation of the data that, if opened as the right file type by the right program, would yield a picture of one strip, this strip attempts to draw a different strip in very simple ASCII art.
ASCII is a character encoding standard that tells programs to display a certain typing character when given certain data. While this is typically done in the service of text-based information, ASCII art attempts to present us with pictures using the more limited forms provided by ASCII characters.
==The author writes:==
This is a bad (hand-made) ASCII art version of 2002-04-18. I got the idea from strip number 224. I chose the date because it was the date of my first kiss (with a girl I no longer like). Bittersweet memories.

3681: The Seven-Year Pitch

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
By some reckonings*, the University of Queensland in Brisbane is host to the longest continuously running science experiment in the world, Thomas Parnell's pitch drop experiment - a demonstration that pitch/bitumen/asphalt is, at room temperature, not a solid but an extremely viscous liquid.
*I will note that even a University source feels the need to put "experiment" in inverted commas

3682: Waluigi Occasionally Nails It

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This strip is a self-parody of one webcomic, and it's also a parody of a strip from a different webcomic, and the strip being parodied is itself a self-parody of that webcomic. *insert sound of minds being blown*
This one took a long time to make, probably the second-longest next to my Ballet Saga strip. It wasn't until after I was all done that I asked myself the question, "should the miniature panels reflected in Waluigi's eyes be mirrored?" After a couple seconds' deliberation (because I was sick of working on it), I decided not to mirror them, because:
#I don't know enough about eyes to know if things reflected in them actually are mirrored;
#Closely inspecting the original strip shows that Kirby isn't mirrored; and
#It's Waluigi. Who knows if the laws of physics apply to him.
I wanted to do something somewhat clever with the arbitrary numbering in the original, so I added up the numerical value of each letter in Waluigi's name, got 82, and managed to get Manyhills to post this on an appropriate day.

{Close-up of Waluigi's eyes. His left pupil is replaced with the first panel of the "pudding pops" strip; his right with the last panel}
Waluigi: hmm
Waluigi: Another pun based on the word "minus." Real funny.
==Trivia==
The credits to other Square Root of Minus Garfield strips mistakenly lists "2010-04-16", the date of 332: Garfield Linus Garfield, Part 2, twice. The first link leads to that strip as intended; the second link leads to 335: Garfield Linux Garfield and as a result should have read "2010-04-19".

3683: Garfield, Revealed and Garfield, Concealed

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Many of Garfield's best gags are visual reveals. The characters talk a bit, and then the camera frame zooms out and we see what they're talking about, punchline! Or maybe we're taken off-guard by the punchline at the same time as Garfield. Here are a couple strips that are adjusted to a fixed frame, one where the reveal happens prematurely and one where it never happens.
I think they have their own kind of charm. In the first, we're left scratching our heads to why there are ladders balanced on Garfield. Fleas, not ladders, are the punchline. The second leaves us wondering what Jon could possibly be doing off-screen. Garfield seems somehow more sinister. What horrible trouble could Jon have gotten himself into, which Garfield is standing by idly and mocking?
Also, the reason they're both from 2014 is totally not that I bookmarked some strips for this idea and put it off for four years. I would never do that.

3685: Don't Kid Yourself

==Explanation==
This strip explains how the age gate that was in place on garfield.com at the time this strip was initially made worked; the age gate had three options, "I am a dog", "I am a human KID", and "I am a human ADULT", stating that access would be denied to dogs. Only the last of those three, the human adult option, allowed the user to access the main garfield.com website; the first of those options, the dog option, brought up an "Access Denied" panel and an option to try again. This strip explains what happened when someone clicked the human kid option, namely that it automatically redirected the user to the website's children's section, Professor Garfield, and placed a cookie in the user's settings that would remember the selection made at the age gate to automatically bring the user back to the children's section every subsequent visit to the site.
The garfield.com website was dismantled on 2020-06-19, including the Professor Garfield section; only the main domain was redirected to the Nickelodeon website, with the Professor Garfield section's domain breaking completely. Archives of the garfield.com site taken as late as 2020-06-15 preserve the age gate, but archives from what turned out to be the website's final three days do not include the age gate, implying that the age gate may have been dismantled a few days before the site itself.
==The author writes:==
One thing I absolutely hate about the Garfield site is: if you click "I am a human KID" when it asks if you're a dog, it instantly sends you to the Professor Garfield site every time you try to visit the actual site. [It places a cookie named 'age-gated' in the user's browser, in case you were wondering. -Ed]

3688: 364 Days

==Explanation==
Why is there no strip, just a calendar for January 2001 with the 22nd missing?
Well, in the Garfield strip for the missing day, Jon said that today was neither a good day nor a bad day, so Garfield concluded that it wasn't a day at all. This inspired the author to edit a calendar so that that date wasn't there.

Nothing has been changed.

3689: Seventeen

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
We all know Odie isn't smart enough to answer questions, either with the long 'Good dog/bad dog' answer or even the correct 'Two'. Therefore I present to you Odie's TRUE answer. I think Garfield's expression fits better here too.
Of course it's also possible that Odie is in fact a deep thinker and that his original answer was emblematic of something more profound. Truly are there not only two kinds of people, those who do good and those who do bad? In that case I present to you another possible answer Odie may have given, one that links to the first shown here.
One that which asks 'What is the meaning of "kind"?' Are we not all the same, where it matters? Is there not just one 'kind' of person? Is not everything else mere detail or belief? In that case Odie might question the question itself. By 'kind' does not the asker mean 'denomination'?

3690: Garfield Improved

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
So, the backstory behind this is that I went to GoComics at exactly 1:10 AM EST (when the site updates) and saw this boring strip. I then realized that it would have been better if Jon had actually sung something. Then multitudes of ideas for something better than today's **** filled my mind. Despite me losing the Garfield font, I immediately went to work making new strips.
It's a sad, sad day in Garfield history when ANYTHING you make out of the original strip is better than the real thing. Unless you write a strip that's completely gibberish. But that would be stupid... on second thought, perhaps maybe that's not such a bad idea.
Original strip: .

{Garfield is sitting on the table, something no cat should ever be allowed to do}
Jon: Garfield, guess what? I'm saved!
{Garfield slaps Jon hard}

Jon: Garfield, where do your leg stripes go when you stand up?

Strip 3:
Jon: Well, Garfield, the world's constantly changing, and--
{you ought to know by now what happens}
SFX: SMACK!
Jon: Why did you do that?!
Garfield: Shut up right freakin' now, or else this strip will never ever get published.
Strip 4:
Jon {singing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", with poorly-drawn music notes indicating that he is indeed singing}: Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
SFX: SMACK!
Jon: You broke my cheekbone, you Queen hater!
Garfield: You're doing it wrong. Like this. {he continues the song, though it's debatable over whether Jon can hear it or not} Caught in a landslide, no escape from re-al-i-ty.

3693: Disney Owns Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I realize that by submitting this, I might be indirectly starting up that "Mouse declares Jon's house property of [INSERT CORPORATION HERE]" meme (in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of "slush pile" featuring strips like that), but it had to be done. It's a common joke that Disney owns... well, let's just say quite a lot of things.
Ironically, this was made BEFORE Disney purchased 20th Century FOX - which also distributed Garfield: The Movie and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. Which means that Disney DOES, in a way, own Garfield. Sort of. Okay, maybe it doesn't.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to worry that Disney might stick a Family Guy ride in the parks somewhere...

{Then Jon encounters Dumbo and the Seven Dwarfs}
{Then he encounters Aladdin, Jasmine, and the Cheshire Cat}
{Then he encounters Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too. He isn't too fazed by this}

3695: Do I Look Like I Ate A Television?

==Explanation==
The image on the television in the original strip was that of a clown. This edit replaces it with a frame from one of the many animations featured on classic Sesame Street. In it, a television has been eaten, for certain values of "eaten" that apparently don't involve chewing it to bits and swallowing those bits. Three monsters are questioned: "Are you the monster that ate the television?" Two of them are not shaped like televisions, and thus are right to ask, as the title of this strip does: "Do I look like I ate a television?" The third monster, as seen in this edit, is television-shaped, and when he opens his mouth, there it is, displaying a wind-up toy bear playing cymbals. Thus, there's a television in the mouth of a monster on the television in the mouth of Odie.

3696: Fixed Coloring Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip fixes a coloring error around Garfield's mouth in the third panel so as to make his colors consistent across all three panels. The error on the original Garfield strip consistently appears across all archives that use the same colors as the presentation that was on garfield.com prior to its takedown, namely the Garfield wiki on Fandom (sourced from garfield.com itself) and the secure-domain mirror of the former "images.ucomics.com" domain; GoComics's tendency to use their own colorization schemes actually played to its advantage in this instance, as the version seen on GoComics does not feature the error (and presumably never did as long as this particular colorization scheme was employed for this particular strip).

As a scream sound effect in the Garfield universe, "YAAAHH!" is as ubiquitous and obvious in its reuse as the Wilhelm Scream is in ours.

This was inspired by John Wallace's sprite rips from the Garfield video game, most of the sprites come from that strip, and the mouse is an enemy character from the same game. Jon's speech had to be cut down to fit into a text box, but I think that this stunted speech fits in well with how video game scripts of the era usually read.
