462: Garfield Plus Beats in the Beat Panel

==Explanation==
The original strip had a non-specific reference to video games. This edit places three video game characters named Beat (each from separate games) in the beat panel - an easy visual pun.
From top to bottom:
* The small bird is Beat from the Mega Man series (debuting in the fifth game).
* The guy with the skull cap is Beat from The World Ends With You.
* The small, big-eyed child is Beat from Eternal Sonata.
(Incidentally, both Mega Man and Eternal Sonata have various characters named after musical concepts.)
==The author writes:==

Jon: Guys! I'm back from my date! Did you miss me?

4643: The Ultimate Science Fair

==Explanation==
This strip depicts Garfield appearing to watch an episode of Sonic X about Chris Thorndyke entering Shadow the Hedgehog and a Chaos Emerald into a science fair, apparently to demonstrate Chaos Control. The Sonic X episode itself is completely fictional, and makes a few errors in how its lore is presented. Although Sonic and a number of other characters from the franchise did come to Chris's world from a different world in the Sonic X continuity, not once is that world in that series ever called Mobius--that term originated from Western-specific lore from the franchise's earlier days, and had been largely discarded by Sega of America by the time the first Sonic Adventure (Shadow first appeared in its sequel) rolled around in favor of faithfully translating the original Japanese continuity (in which the setting is a version of our own planet Earth), with only Sonic the Comic from the UK and the Archie Sonic comics from the US still using the term "Mobius" by the time Sonic X first hit Japanese airwaves (and the only continuity to reuse the term since then, and the first time by a new work since Sonic Underground, is that of the live-action film series. Even in Sonic X, Shadow did not originate from Sonic's world, he originated from the same world Chris did with the same backstory he had from Sonic Adventure 2, although Shadow did eventually travel to Sonic's world at the end of the original 52-episode run (the later Metarex saga, which takes place in the deep space around Sonic's world, was made later and primarily for international consumption). The third line stated through the television is, however, indeed a paraphrasing of one of Shadow's lines from Sonic Adventure 2, accurately describing the Chaos Emerald he was holding at the time.

4646: Garfield & Friendship Games: Garfield's Lemon Zest

==Explanation==
Lemon Zest is a character in the film My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Friendship Games. She attends Crystal Prep Academy, rival to Canterlot High, the school featured in the prior two Equestria Girls movies.
Here, the author has taken the fact that Garfield said "zest" -- if only in the title panel -- and used it to put Lemon Zest in a Square Root of Minus Garfield strip. She has been edited to be a quart low on color, implying that a Lemon Zest contains a gallon of color.
The title also refers to the animated series Garfield & Friends.

4657: Ask a Cat

==Explanation==
In the original strip, someone wrote to Ask a Dog with a question about cats. This is, arguably,[weasel words] a strange question to write to a dog about, and only ends up getting answered in the original strip because Garfield is Odie's translator.
Here, Odie doesn't need Garfield as a translator, and the question is more sensibly addressed to Ask a Cat. Odie informs the sender that he is of the species Canis familiaris (i.e. he is a dog, not a cat) and that the postal address for Ask a Cat has moved. Presumably, mail for Ask a Cat was once sent to the current postal address of Ask a Dog, and the sender had yet to realize this.
==The author writes:==
Original strip: .

{Odie is holding a sheet of paper}
Odie: "Dear Ask a Cat, why do cats have nine lives?"
