3596: It

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Context: In the Wii U game Paper Mario: Color Splash, in the Dark Bloo Inn, there is a miniboss. A Shy Guy comes up to a Koopa, a Spike, and a Sledge Bro (known as 'Shady Sledge'), holding something invisible, which they only refer to as 'it'. After you defeat Shady Sledge, he says, "If only I coulda sat on 'it'... just once..." before dying. The rest of them run away, leaving 'it' behind. You then pick it up, go back into the hotel, into a room, and hit it with your hammer, to reveal that 'it' is Yoshi.
The original 3rd panel had Garfield saying, "Nope. "it" is just an "it"." Plus Yoshi is my favorite character, so I just had to do this.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: Garfield! Come and get it!
Garfield: Come and get "it", he says
Garfield {walking over}: Exactly what is an "it"? Is "it" a hamburger? Is "it" cat food?
{Upon arriving, Garfield sees smiling Jon and a paper Yoshi in a bowl}

3597: Shaven and Shaking

==Explanation==
in the original 5-30, Odie seemed to have all his hair, despite having been shorn the day before. Here, he's been flesh-colored to indicate that Garfield shaved him all the way down, as implied by Jon's yell in 5-29.

{Garfield turns his head to watch him flee past him.}</br>
Garfield: Did I mention I shaved Odie?</br>
Caption: The next day...</br>
{Jon is standing by The Ledge. Odie, still shorn from yesterday, is on The Ledge, but pretty much in front of Jon. Garfield is behind Odie, lying dully as he watches dutifully, per Jon's instruction, here following.}</br>
Jon: Watch this, Garfield.</br>
Jon: Shake, Odie!</br>
{Odie holds up a paw. Jon shakes it.}</br>
Jon: Isn't that great?!</br>
{Garfield, having done his duty, loses what little interest he had.}</br>
Garfield: Big deal. Get me a pen and I'll give you an autograph.

359: Noirfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Film noir is a genre of film, mostly from the 1930s-50s, involving criminals, hard luck, smoking and unhappy endings. Many film noirs were lower-budget productions, and hence, cheaper black-and-white film was used; the results could sometimes produce beautiful imagery that is still striking today.
Immediately upon seeing this original strip, I thought of a still from the Wikipedia article on film noir. The image, from The Big Combo, shows two figures, a man and a woman, seen in silhouette against a cloud of white smoke in an alley. The rest followed naturally.

35: Garfield 1 Gold Foil Embossed Collector's Edition

:This article's title is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is 35: Garfield #1 Gold Foil Embossed Collector's Edition.
----
==Explanation==
This strip refers to the practice of Combination Embossing (that is, layering on a print in such a way that the card is shaped like the image meant to be conveyed) trading cards and then spraying metallic substances (frequently, gold or silver) to make them more "desirable". See, for example, this page about a 1965 set of such cards.
==The author writes:==
Curiously, despite the typical webcomic author's endless imagination for Filler Strip ideas, very few webcomics have used this particular variety of filler episode - the most notable among those few being Sluggy Freelance and 8-Bit Theater.

The writing on the paper is from DELTARUNE, by Toby Fox.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Garfield {walking on Jon's old cartoonist set}: Hmmm, Jon's drawing board. Hmmm, some paper. Hmmm, some ink
Writing: Once upon a time, a legend was whispered among the shadows. It was a legend of HOPE, and it was a legend of DREAMS. It was a legend of LIGHT, and it was a legend of DARK. This is the legend of DELTA RUNE.
Writing: For millennia, LIGHT and DARK have lived in balance, bringing peace to the WORLD. But if that harmony were to shatter... a terrible calamity would occur. The sky will run black with terror, and the land will crack with fear. Then, her heart pounding, the EARTH will draw from her final breath. Only then, with shining hope, three HEROES would appear at WORLD'S edge. A HUMAN, a MONSTER, and a PRINCE FROM THE DARK.
Writing: Only they can seal the fountains and banish the ANGEL'S HEAVEN. Only then will balance be restored, and the WORLD saved from destruction. Today, the FOUNTAIN of DARKNESS-the geyser that gives land form-Stands tall at the center of the kingdom.
Writing: But recently, another fountain has appeared among the horizon, and with it, the balance of LIGHT and DARK begins to shift...
Jon {entering the room}: Hey, Garfield.
{Jon picks up Garfield's paper, covered with pawprints and ink}
Jon: What's this?

Thought this Sunday comic (the 1989 one) could have been a cool meme and it was a shame it was never made into a SRoMG.
Because the ending is in 2 panels I had to delete the panel with the shadow of Garfield. It was hell to reorganize the strip to look authentic; even had to put a black panel to hide the emptiness due to the gasp panel being too short!
Anyway, happy 2019 everyone! (Even tho I bet this will be posted somewhere around June or smtg...)

3609: The Alien Horror Theater

==Explanation==
This strip essentially re-frames the latter two panels of the 2015-12-02 strip as a horror feature as opposed to a science fiction one; as such, it places the 2015 panels between the first and third panels of 2006-10-28, recoloring the background of the 2015 strip to match the 2006 one for good measure.

3610: Garfield's Science Fiction Theaters

==Explanation==
This strip's premise is that of a simple panel swap between two different strips, in this case the two original Garfield strips that began with Garfield opening a "science fiction theater" program.

3611: Garfield Hyness Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip made it through the queue somewhat fast for a "constantly changing"/"pudding pops" strip in the era of the low-priority queue; it debuted eight days short of a year after the release of Kirby Star Allies. This speed may have been aided by it being the first, and as of this writing only, contribution of this particular author.

3612: Meadow

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I had a lot of trouble thinking about what Garfield should be saying in the last panel. He could say "You could frolic in the lobby", but that wouldn't make much sense. He could say "You could tiptoe through the tulips", as a call-back to #852 Tulip Tiptoe. He could say "Milk", because Garfield is the exact same in all three panels. I decided to just remove Garfield from the comic. I think it's funnier this way.

3613: Garcon

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
When I saw the source for SRoMG #3519, I couldn't help but notice that the 'pudding' was the exact same color as Garfield. If Odie could be in a yellow pudding it seemed very likely to me that Garfield could be in an orange one.
How did this come about? Simple; Garfield is on record as noting he'd gladly suffer an amputation to lose weight (as opposed to dieting. See for example ) and Jon has finally taken him up on this. Also it's in Garfield's will to be turned into a pudding pop for some reason.
How is Garfield hearing without ears? Same way Jon hears thoughts.

A sequel to my first comic, #2681. It's strange how, in both that comic and this one, Garfield does the thing the very next day. Not only that, but he actually exaggerates it. (For example, seeing = staring, walking = walking vertically.) This happens both times. It must've been intentional.

3618: Japanfield v2

==Explanation==
This strip takes 2403: Japanfield and restacks the panels to more resemble a Japanese newspaper comic strip, which are typically read in vertical format; Japanese-originated newspaper comic strips rarely get published in the west due to their very nature, as supplemental material typically seen to the side would not make sense to reformat in a western format.
Sadly, this strip's author made a critical blunder: based on how Japanese is typically read right-to-left as opposed to left-to-right in western languages, they restacked the strip from bottom to top--which is not how Japanese is read in print (Japanese is only reversed horizontally in print from a western perspective, vertically it is read top-to-bottom much like in the west). This blunder was ultimately addressed in 5548: Japanfield v2.5, which properly stacks the panels from top-to-bottom to match Japanese newspaper comic strips.

361: For Science!

==Explanation==
This edit rewrites the dialogue of several panels, creating the story of Jon conducting an experiment involving Nermal, possibly throwing him through a door, with Garfield as Jon's assistant. Jon's data is plotted on an unlabeled graph using a repeated picture of Nermal as the dot; this provides an opportunity for the author to use the term "Nermal curve", a pun on "normal curve", another word for a normal distribution or bell curve, in the transcript.
The author's note links to the TV Tropes trope page For Science!, as well as the Wikipedia article on the central limit theorem. Jon's lunch is probably a reference: chicken, lettuce, tomato; central limit theorem.
