2227: Garfield in 2053, Part %%SYNTAX ERROR%%

== Explanation ==
The author's notes already explain this sufficiently enough, though it should be noted that the dialogue used is from xkcd #78: "Garfield".
== The author writes ==
I've noticed that the "2053" series of comics mainly make fun of Garfield's stagnation.
Not once have I seen one that takes advantage of supposed setting of the year 2053.
So, naturally, I made a strip implying the world ended in said year.

2228: Garfield Plus Donkey Kong

==Explanation==
Note: Most of the links in this section are NSFW. Take caution if you're reading this from a public venue.
This is the infamous "dong repair" strip, edited so that the "ding" is replaced with "Ohh, banana". In the 1997 Nintendo game Donkey Kong 64, the general objective of the game was to collect Golden Bananas (akin to Mario 64's stars); whenever one was revealed, a soundbite saying "Oh, banana!" would play. The whole "dong" bit is a reference to an internet meme - someone on 4chan edited the box art of said game, ransom note style, such that it read "Expand Dong". Many other imitators soon followed, and soon the character was irrevocably associated with the word "dong".
The description mentions BonziBUDDY, an infamous program that ostensibly acted as an all-purpose Internet helper, represented on-screen by a purple gorilla. It was introduced in 1999 (without the gorilla character) and was discontinued in 2004 after multiple complaints labelled it adware and/or spyware, or just generally finding it useless and annoying. In 2014, the character became a meme after Twitch streamer Joel (of the video game streaming website Vinesauce) held a "Windows XP Destruction" -- that is, taking a virtual copy of Windows XP, pumping it full of viruses, and generally reminiscing about the Internet of the early 2000's -- in which BonziBUDDY featured prominently. Tying in with the above meme, when the program asked for a nickname, Joel chose to enter "Expand Dong". Once the video became viral, Joel soon grew very weary of BonziBUDDY, which is why the author chose not to use the character for this edit.
==The author writes:==
I had to. Also, in terms of Monkey-based memes SRoMG could contribute to, it could be worse. It could be BonziBUDDY. Which, funny enough, the person responsible (Vinesauce's Joel) regrets letting become a meme. And so, out of respect, I didn't do that.
...You don't get a prize of you e-mail him that I did that, nor do you get one if you tell the main streamer Vinny that, either.

2230: Grump Out!

==Explanation==
In the original, Jon tells a grumpy Garfield to cheer up, which he dutifully does (the punchline being Garfield asking "Now what?"). This edit reverses it so that Jon inexplicably commands Garfield to ruin his own mood, something which understandably irritates Garfield.
==The author writes:==
Well, this was certainly an obvious edit.

==Trivia==
*The remnants of the old strip crediting system miscredit the strip as the original Garfield strip used for this strip; the current strip crediting system (the one recreated for this very wiki page) credits the correct date, presumably after a post-recoding correction to the credit.
*Additionally, a bad piece of code within the remnants of the old crediting system is causing the "Original strip:" text associated with the current crediting system to act as if there was a busted link associated with it; that error has not been recreated for this wiki.

2233: Garfield Randomizer Lost In Translation Minus Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Three of my four favorite Garfield parody sites are Garfield Minus Garfield, Garfield Lost In Translation, and the various Garfield Randomizers (I don't think I have to tell you what the fourth is). SRoMG authors have made randomized Garfield Minus Garfield comics and Lost In Translation Garfield Minus Garfield comics so I figured I might as well combine all three concepts.
I used Random.org to get the comics and panels to use, Bing to translate the dialogue, and Photoshop to do everything else.

2235: Square Root of Minus Garfield: The Abridged Series

The puppet's original name is Hondo, but changing one letter in the name gives us Honda.

Tristan in Japan was known as Hirohito Honda.

2238: Garfield Entertainment System

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I've been reading SRoMG for a long time, but this is my first actual submission. I took a video game-related strip and turned it into an 8-bit comic. Although there are already 8-bit Garfield sprites (and a few comics in a similar style), this one is directly drawn over the original art. I even used a genuine NES palette, and included details like the signature and copyright information. I originally planned to do the whole series of video game strips, but it was more work than I expected. So there's only one strip instead. Sorry.
(Ed: I think this one synergises well with 2234.)

2244: Crooked

Jon: Thanks for your help!
Garfield: I do what I can.
==Trivia==
Although neither this strip, nor the earlier 2081: Panel Adjustment, nor that strip's inspiration 665: Lean on Me were cited as potential inspiration, iToons 418: Spinal Cord Futures makes use of a similar setup applied to a 9 Chickweed Lane original strip.

2245: Garfield's Actual Theme Song

==Explanation==
This strip essentially involves Garfield singing a few lines from the second and most prolific opening theme of Garfield and Friends (the "most prolific" part coming from this particular theme replacing the first theme on syndicated prints, and replacing the third theme on all prints other than those that went out over its first-run network of CBS), followed by Garfield proudly stating it to be his theme song. This strip implies its author tends to prefer that particular theme song over other Garfield television theme songs; it does not reflect the preferences of Square Root of Minus Garfield as a whole, as it is likely that other fans could prefer the first theme to Garfield and Friends, or to lesser extent songs such as the third theme to Garfield and Friends and the theme to The Garfield Show.
==The author writes:==
This was one of those strips where I saw it, I immediately came up with a SRMG take on it, and I said to myself, "Ok, now I have to do it".

2249: Gum

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The joke of the original is ruined because Garfield says he stepped on gum in the second panel, making the events of the third panel predictable. By moving the statement to the third panel, the joke is somewhat restored. It would be even better if Garfield mentioned the gum in a fourth panel, but law apparently requires that Jim Davis makes Mon-Sat Garfield strips with a strict 3 panels.

This strip is essentially a role reversal of the setup of the 2013 original Garfield strip; whereas that strip had Garfield warn about the dangers of expired milk before showing Jon having drank some, this strip has Jon warn about the dangers of expired cat treats before showing Garfield having eaten one. This strip also serves as a sequel to 2139: Expired, as that strip depicts Garfield in the process of eating cat treats without knowing the expiration date.

2255: Not So Grump?

==Explanation==
Game Grumps is a YouTube video game playthrough series that started in 2012 and began immensely popular shortly thereafter. The series was originally hosted by Internet comedians Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson and Jon "JonTron" Jafari; the latter left in mid-2013, being replaced by fellow Internet comedian and musician Dan Avidan. One mainstay of the series is a short intro preceding each episode, wherein caricatures of the hosts (Arin and Jon/Dan) declare that they are "Grump" and "Not So Grump", respectively. 
Thus, when Lubaf made a strip featuring both the odd line "Grump out, Garfield!" and Jon being mentioned by name, no less than three separate people made Game Grumps-related edits. The first two follow the same pattern - Jafari's caricature replaces Arbuckle, and Garfield "grumps out" by becoming Arin Hanson (i.e. "Grump", as mentioned before). The last one has Garfield instead become Jafari, and his final response is instead "Ech" - the written form of an odd, phlegm-y noise that is sort of a catchphrase of his.
==The author writes:==

2256: DeepDreamfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
It began in the middle of June, when Google's research blog posted an article about Inceptionism, a method of visualising what an artificial neural network was going through as it analysed images. This was soon turned into DeepDream, a code tool to allow any image to be converted into something that Google's neural network produces when it searches for similarities to the vast number of images in its training database.
The next logical step is of course to apply it to Garfield.
