5652: Temperate

==Explanation==
This strip essentially reverses the premise of a Square Root of Minus Garfield running gag involving the strips quoted in the author's note, as well as the unmentioned 3015: Unprovoked; those strips formed the running gag storyline that ultimately came to be known as the "Defenestration of Muncie". The running gag in question involved Jon tossing Garfield out the window at earlier and earlier points in the conversation--in #2858 after the second panel, in #3014 after the first panel, in #3015 after Jon's statement in the first panel before Garfield can react, and in #3935 before the conversation could even begin. This strip, on the other hand, not only has whatever parts of the conversation that played out on 1981-03-29 play out unimpeded, but actually lets Garfield get a final word in before walking away unharmed (thanks to an asset from 1981-03-15) without even being tossed out the window at all.
==The author writes:==
After seeing #2858, #3014, and #3935, I decided to do the other way around. Somehow, this feel like it is more in line with Jon.

{Garfield shreds some holes in Jon's sleeves and stuffs Jon's tie in his mouth}
Garfield: A smart cat knows just how far to go without crossing over the line
Garfield: Perhaps a more rakish tilt to the hat
{Garfield pulls down on Jon's hat, covering his eyes}
Garfield: Good luck
{Garfield walks away without any conflict}

Garfield was dreaming about the action scenes in those movies, which seem intentionally designed to make the audience vomit with their wild cinematography.

The links in the author's notes currently lead nowhere on Square Root of Minus Garfield itself, and unless hovered over look like there aren't even any links there; this was reported to the Square Root of Minus Garfield bug reports thread on the Irregular Webcomic! forums, and the links on this wiki have been reconstructed to presumably what the strip's author intended.

5656: It's a small world after all

==Explanation==
In the original, Jon thinks it's a small world, and when Garfield walked in, Jon added that it compared to Garfield.
This version uses dialogue from the 2009 strip to the third panel. Jon now says that Garfield's eaten a large portion of the world and Garfield says he would like some baked Alaska for dessert. Jon's eyes also moved to Garfield's side.
==The author writes:==
The world is constantly changing since there's no sign of a frozen pudding pop for dessert.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
There are no author notes for this strip, and you're not reading them. The strip itself wasn't submitted to the site either, so I have no idea where you're getting all this semantic content from. Unless some of the information here is intentionally incorrect - but who would ever do something like that?
BONUS STRIP: More stereotypes = more fun
I submitted this strip, then realised Jon's hair can be cropped, copied, and rotated to produce the perfect stereotypical student goatee - eat viola, here he is in all his now be-bearded glory(?).
With thanks to SRoMG #2302 for the nicely-saturated version of the original strip.

5663: Orson Calling Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Alright, so the idea for this strip came from me looking back at SRoMG #1942 and having this very deep sinking feeling that we're approaching the 10th anniversary of Robin Williams' death*. His is significant to me, because it was the first celebrity death that really affected me deeply. At the time, I was 14, and having seen Aladdin, Jumanji, Flubber, Mork & Mindy, and his appearance on Whose Line is it Anyway? growing up, all of which I enjoyed greatly, his death was truly the first real moment of my life that I consider to be sobering. It was out of nowhere too, as I was checking my Twitter timeline on my iPod when I saw a tweet pop up from WBIR, one of the local TV stations in my area, breaking the news that he had passed, and I remember telling my parents, and they were just shocked, as was everybody. I knew that his death had a lot more weight than I knew at the time, and it was honestly one of those events that truly blindsided everybody.
So, I guess I felt like I should commemorate 10 years of being without him by making a small tribute strip, and I figured that the best way to help commemorate him was to make a lame pun. Blame my tendency to mix up names for that one, but at least it gave me an appropriate picture of Orson the Pig, that has a weird hand because the original screenshot featured Orson pushing a cart of stuff, and I couldn't remove the cart well without removing the hand. Oh well, as the strip says, we miss you everyday, Robin. Nanu Nanu!

5664: Garfield Madlibs

==Explanation==
The link leading to the inspiration prior Square Root of Minus Garfield strip misspells the title of the strip in question; #5302's title is actually spelled Garfward Jonbles.
==The author writes:==
After seeing SRoMG #5302 "Garfwad Jonbles", I decided to test out if my younger sister could be better at writing Garfield comics than Jim Davis. I edited out the words from the original strip and showed it to her, asking her to fill in the dialogue. Garfield Madlibs! Unfortunately for my time, she asked me to edit in pictures for two of Garfield's thought bubbles, but overall a successful experiment. Maybe Jim Davis could learn something? Or not.

5668: Ketchup Gets Up

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Way, wayyyyy back in the day, before either myself or Garfield made our way onto the World Wide Web, if you wanted to read old Garfield comics, you had to look at the original horizontal B&W strip collection books. And in B&W, both the champagne and the ketchup were grey halftone pattens. This stuck in my little autistic brain for decades, and now with the strips in color and editing software at my disposal, my big autistic brain is unleashing this mashup on the masses.

5672: Jon's cooked, or, ol' lightning wit strikes again

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This comic irrationally annoys me. I don't usually let my suspension of disbelief wane to CinemaSins levels, but the fact that Jon is talking about roasting a turkey that's evidently already thoroughly cooked and prepared dealt a blow to it. So I decided to fix it, and I wouldn't put it above Jon to not realize that the turkey he bought was already cooked until he got home and took a closer look at it.

5673: It's Since Been a Long Time Ago

==Explanation==
This strip is an allusion to the controversies that ultimately resulted in the end of Dilbert as a syndicated newspaper comic strip. The character of The Professor from Doraemon knows the reason why, but Garfield asks him not to tell the Square Root of Minus Garfield readership; Dilbert was dropped by its syndicate and many of the newspapers that had been carrying the strip over racist comments made by its creator Scott Adams, and was ultimately relaunched as the webcomic Dilbert Reborn after the last newspapers still carrying Dilbert carried the last strip sent to the syndicate prior to the syndicate dropping the strip.
The way the strip is set up implies that the author considers Dilbert Reborn to be Fanon Discontinuity, with Dilbert implied to have been fired after the events of the final Dilbert newspaper strip, presumably due to actions similar to those of Scott Adams.
This explanation links to the final Dilbert strip on the basis that the Dilbert fanbase consisted of a wide assortment of innocent people with a wide variety of viewpoints, including those that did not share Scott Adams's viewpoints, and to consider the possibility of the character of Dilbert himself as being distinct from his cartoonist (similar to the author's notes of iToons #682: Not the Brightest Bulbs Out There); the inclusion of said final strip in this explanation is in no way intended to reflect the views of Square Root of Minus Garfield itself, this very wiki, or anybody contributing to this very explanation (the user who created this very wiki article, for example, does not agree with Scott Adams's viewpoints).

5674: A Joke 17 Years in the Making

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Trawling for strip ideas, I decided to do something I haven't done in a while and look at the most recently published strip (at the time of writing). I was then astonished to find that it was published on the exact same date, 17 years later, of a very similar strip that had become a running gag on SRoMG. In 5 minutes, I had done what was necessary. Perhaps, in the leadup to Halloween, Garfield reminisces on his own horror production on its 17th anniversary. It could also be an indicator that Garfield recycles its jokes on a very regular basis.
