3342: Â¡Garfield Manos Garfield!

:The strip this page is about has had its title subject to mojibake errors. These errors are currently being replicated, as the strip's intended title, and by extension this article's as well, is currently unknown due to the mojibake.
----
==Explanation==
The original Garfield strip has a Spanish version of this comic.
Here, they've been mashed up, and Garfield's been replaced by a hand.
==The author writes:==
Original strip: (and ).
==Transcript==
Jon {reading newspaper while Garfield sits nearby}: El mundo siempre està cambiando
{Garfield turns into a hand}
Garfield {reappearing}: No han dejado de hacer budines helados, ¿no?
==Trivia==
This strip's title and transcript were hit with mojibake errors in a later site recoding effort. The original transcript unaffected by mojibake has been preserved on this very wiki as this article existed prior to the recoding effort; however, the original title unaffected by mojibake is currently lost to the public due to the recoding effort and this very article's title initially not including any of the punctuation from the strip's actual title and no correction effort being attempted until after the recoding effort had corrupted the title.

3345: Blunt cat the fifth Behind the Scenes: Tryouts

==Explanation==
In The Original Garfield Strip, Garfield Stands In Front Of A Purple Dog That Growls And Barks. Then The Dog Smiles. Garfield Was On The Edge Of His Feet.
Here, The Purple Dog Is Partly coloured Orange, and there's a piece of music sheet on the corner Of The Panel. The purple dog says "ordinances". But in the second panel, the backdrop is a highly pixelated mess of cars. Garfield doesn't change or respond. The dog he starts to roar, his eyes are blurred out for some reason, some of his whole body is distorted. The dog starts to read, "On The Origin Of Species, Thi- and some of the text is covered with Brian Quinn's face.
In the third panel, the dog is now messed up by a thing called Photoshop's Clone Tool. The Dog Asks Garfield, "Has Make Cut?" With different text. Garfield says that he'll think about it.

3346: Small Talk Except I Made It Funnier

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Jon, Garfield and Odie are all having a small talk. Here, Garfield wishes Jon good morning, Odie says "HAI JON" which is a reference to LolCats and another Garfield strip where Odie talked in , and Jon started making animal sounds. Garfield and Odie walk away while laughing while Jon laughs too. Jon goes "LOL" at the viewer which is actually a text message.
==The author writes:==
P.S. Odie saying "HAI JON" is a reference to LolCats and another Garfield strip .

3347: Censored Garfield: Goat Edition

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, the word that this edit has placed a censor bar over was "pants". Like the rest of the Square Root of Minus Garfield strips that contain "Censor", whether as "Censored" or "Censorship" or some other form of the word, this strip shows what happens when unnecessary censoring is employed: the reader's mind assumes there was something that might be considered to warrant censoring, and fills in something that the rest of the work suggests.
In this case, it seems to be suggesting Jon's... organ. This idea is further cemented by three of Garfield's alternative punchlines, all rejected in favor of the original.
==The author writes:==
I came up with several alternate punchlines for this strip, such as...
*Garfield: Before the third date?
*Garfield: It looks like a frozen pudding pop.
*Garfield: It doesn't seem to be bitten off
and
*Garfield: Did you play Battletoads?
I decided to keep it simple and stick with the original punchline. 
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: Bad date, Garfield
Jon: We went to a petting zoo...
Jon: And a goat ate my [censored]
Garfield: Nice teddy bear boxers

3348: Sign Change

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Garfield watched a family move into a house. A new sign nearby says "I Love My Dogs". Jon asks Garfield what he thinks of the new neighbors. Garfield, who doesn't like dogs, says it's not looking good, as it indicates that not only do they have a general affinity for dogs, but also that they own multiple dogs; their presence will be definite rather than merely theoretical.
In this strip, the sign has been changed to "We Eat Cats". As Garfield is a cat, this is cause for concern on his part.
The author, feeling generous at the time of sending, also submitted a second strip to be published along with it; this strip was a negative of his edit.
==The author writes:==
Another in a series of strips experimenting in the smallest possible changes that change the resulting strip. And, because I'm feeling generous, here's a second strip that really delivers on a sign change: 
Original strip: .

3349: Seinfield

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Jon told Garfield that he's a vicious attack cat, and he demands Garfield to attack the funnily dressed dummy on the table. Garfield bares his teeth, and leaps toward the dummy, telling the dummy that his mother wears combat boots. The author doesn't understand what that's even supposed to mean. It can be that she's unwomanly, a sort of slang or something. Jim Davis lived in his own world while creating that original comic.
The author has replaced it with an insult from Seinfield: The Comeback.
==The author writes:==
Originally Garfield says/thinks: "your mother wears combat boots". I don't understand what that's even supposed to mean? Is it saying she is unwomanly? Some sort of slang for something? It's hard to tell... some days it seems like Jim Davis lives in his own world.
 
Anyway, I replaced that with an insult that actually makes sense, and is better.

334: Shedding

3352: Iambic pizzameter

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Seeing strip #3261 I thought Garfield could use a little more rhyme in his replies. I was tempted to make a strip using 'Iambic pizzameter', but I'm too lazy for that.
As a side note, this is a Hawaiian pizza; whatever your feelings on pineapple, do note that he has his with butter, horseradish, anchovy paste, lard and toaster crumbs. (Anyone who gets that reference gets a cookie. With pineapple.)

3353: 1984field

==Explanation==

Just a bit of surrealist humor. Originally, I was gonna have Garfield say "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" at the end, but I never did that because I thought it'd be funnier (and possibly more stupid) if he just deflated for no reason.

3355: The Checkers Speech

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
If anything, Garfield's representation of draughts got even less accurate over this twelve-year span - the board is still too small and the pieces have still somehow ended up on different-coloured squares (!), but in the later strip the board isn't even square.
And for that matter, how can Jon do a double move that only results in the capture of one biscuit?
This whole web of lies is falling apart at the seams.
Er, do webs have seams?

3357: Your Lotto Numbers Are...

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Explanation: after I discovered the "Best and Worst Strips of Various Authors" thread on the forum, I asked for my best and worst. Lubaf delivered. Because of his picks having a pattern (they included a randomized placement of 1, 4, and 7), I decided to poke around for strips on the site that followed that pattern. I then hodge-podged them into a new strip.
I also included what I personally thought was my worst strip as commentary.

3360: Etymology of Minus Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
After discovering this strip, I immediately decided to learn about the origins of yarn.
Unfortunately, the closest thing I could find was the earliest root of the English word "yarn" that meant "yarn" in its language. That language would be Proto-Germanic. Unfortunately for that, it can only be reconstructed with what we know...

3367: Whadda

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon and Garfield walk to an abandoned house this night, and Garfield finds a tombstone that says "GARFIELD: R.I.P, 6-19-78, 10-30-82, with a flower on it.
Here, Garfield sees a tombstone that reads "Here Lies Squidward's Hopes and Dreams" which is from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode called "One Krabs Trash". In it, Mr. Krabs sees Squidward crying as he walks up to a tombstone, putting flowers on it, and leaving. When he sees what's written on the tombstone, Mr. Krabs remarks, "What a baby."

336: TV Moth

==Explanation==
Two strips, each featuring Garfield watching television, were combined.
One is about the winner of an ugly baby pageant. In the original, it was Roberta Saconski, and the final panel had a plea for no pictures to be taken, and a doubt of Garfield's that Roberta will be asked to the prom.
The other show is about an emerging caterpillar turning out to be an Amazonian vampire moth, which proceeds to bite the naturalist's neck.
This edit makes it seem as though someone entered the vampire moth into an ugly baby pageant. It is unknown whether one would qualify; on the one hand, it's an adult moth and not a caterpillar, but on the other, its average lifespan may be under the period of time chosen as the cutoff, based on human development.
As a side note, the originals each had Garfield's legs in a single position throughout, but because they were different from each other, Garfield seems to draw his legs back to himself in the second panel.
==The author writes:==
A simple remix, not mathematical unfortunately.

3370: Purrpendicular Lines

==Explanation==
In the original, "ninety degrees" referred to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. (About 32 degrees Celsius, for those who need it converted.) Here, the panel has been isolated, with all dialogue making it clearly the temperature stripped away. The border was probably completely removed, then added again on the bottom and right only. An arc was also added, with 90° typed nearby.
An angle of 90° is called a right angle, and is the defining angle of rectangles (including squares), and the kind of angle for which a right triangle is named; the author's note makes a pun between that meaning and the meaning of "correct".
==The author writes:==
Jon is absolutely right.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Garfield is lying down. Unusually, only the bottom of the panel and the right of the panel have borders. Near the corner is an arc, and near the arc, it says "90°".}</br>
