2663: Jon Is Un-Funnie; or, Garfield Minus Any Respect for the Classics

==Explanation==
This edit simply replaces Jon's tacky beach outfit in the original with Doug Funnie's signature outfit (a green sweater-vest with a white undershirt and khaki shorts); however, this comes at the cost of slightly ruining the joke. The overall tone is, in a way, similar to #2395; unlike that strip, however, the author is simply suggesting that Garfield check out
some TV shows from past decades (for example, the aforementioned Doug) that he might have missed out on. Finally, the title contains a pun on Doug Funnie's surname.
==The author writes==
Garfield really needs to take a look at what the kids watched back then. He'll see that they were some pretty great shows.

2664: Bod-acious

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The "dad bod" is the latest, hot thing for us middle-aged people. Supposedly, women go nuts over it because it reminds them of their fathers. I personally think itâ€™s just a magazine/internet fad. All it does is get a bunch of older guys hoping that they don't have to go to the gym anymore. The only thing that could make the "dad bod" hot and sexy is a big, fat bank account.

{Arlene walks by in shock looking at Garfield letting his stomach flop down}
Garfield: Why do I keep reading all those articles in "GQ"?

2665: Garfield's Ballet Saga

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I always thought it was strange for such a fat, lazy slob (you don't think he heard me say that, do you?) to be so enthusiastic about such a high-energy art as ballet. I searched through my Garfield books to find as many mentions of ballet as I could, and came up with my longest strip yet, with a cohesive narrative, even! I'm sure that I must have missed a few ballet mentions though, so feel free to remix this strip if you find any that I missed.
Title image from here.

{Garfield is asleep and spinning in place on one foot, which grabs Jon's attention away from his newspaper. Jon is startled. Garfield dances a moment longer and then resumes a normal catnapping posture.}
Garfield: Z Z Z Z Z Z
Jon: I've never seen Garfield do ballet before.
{The next morning, Jon in his pajamas approaches Garfield}
Jon: You were sleepwalking last night. Doing ballet moves.
Garfield: I've always wanted to be a ballerina.
{Jon presents Garfield with a pair of pink toe shoes}
Jon: I think it's good for you to have a hobby! Here, try these.
Garfield: Ballet shoes!
{Garfield puts on the shoes and starts dancing}
Garfield: For a dweeb, Jon can be pretty cool sometimes. What a nice gift. This is great!
{Some time later}
Jon: I know I said it was good for Garfield to have a hobby.
{Garfield and Odie are now both in full ballet dress and dancing their cares away}
Jon: However, I'm getting sick of "Swan Lake."

Black: You do not see anyone, but after a second of casual looking you spot a large snowball hurling towards you
Black: It hits you before you can react

2669: Doge

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield comic, Garfield sees a sign that says Beware of Log and Garfield notices a log. In this edit, the sign says Beware of Doge instead and Garfield notices a Doge.
The Doge is an internet meme that became popular in 2013. The meme typically consists of a picture of a Shiba Inu accompanied by multicolored text in Comic Sans font in the foreground. The text, representing a kind of internal monologue, is deliberately written in a form of broken English.
==The author writes:==

Doge: much beware, wow, very scare

266: Mirror Universe Garfield

==Explanation==
A Mirror Universe is primarily defined as one in which all characters have the opposite morality. Because of the perception of at least certain types of beards, male characters who are evil in such a universe often have those kinds of beards.
In the Next Generation episode "Darmok", the crew encounters a race of aliens who all speak completely in allusions to their history and mythology, so if you don't already know it, their statements like "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" can be quite impenetrable, even with the Universal Translator. (Incidentally, "when the rain fell" appears nowhere in the episode; the closest phrase is "Shaka, when the walls fell.")
Picard and the farmer are here played by Jon's father and brother.
==The author writes:==
Sadly Star Trek TNG never ventured into the Mirror Universe, so I addressed this problem.
In the Mirror Universe, Picard stayed at the family vineyards in France, and never went INto SPACE! As a result his Enterprise is the family business. Welcome to the exciting episode of... Mirror Darmok!
Garfield is here because... Everything Is Better With Garfield! Also note that Picard has a goatee but it cannot be seen here.

2672: Spoon

==Explanation==
The original Garfield comic had these six panels right side up and a close up of Garfield's face right side up. Garfield made several faces, right side up. Jon says A-HEM because he wants the spoon back for the soup because he is eating soup and crackers.
This edit corrects the orientation of Garfield's face, as the image seen in a spoon would indeed be flipped, as stated in the author's note. The note goes on to question Jim Davis' experience with looking at his own image in a spoon, as his art seems to suggest that he didn't know this.
==The author writes:==
The side of the spoon Garfield is looking at should be viewing his face upside down. Had Jim never looked into a spoon at the time?

Immediately after seeing this strip, I realized that it had to be pointed out: Garfield saying that he can't eat food is just plain uncanny after years of food jokes.

2676: Garfield Plus More Plausible Thief

==Explanation==
This strip makes use of a notable meme/internet trend wherein dogs are "punished" by posing with signs indicating their crimes while their owner photographs them.
In this case, Odie is substituted with a dog who had stolen a sandwich, thus validating Garfield's theory.
==The author writes:==
I thought Odie was a poor choice to back up Garfield's claim. Here, I substitute an identified thief... of sandwiches.

2677: Garfield in 2053: Breakdown

== Explanation ==
As the title of the strip implies, Garfield is shown to be finally losing it after decades of staleness. As the author's notes explain, this is theoretically someone on the staff actually putting effort in this strip in 2053 - an admission of how stale the strip has become.
== The author writes ==
I'd like to think of this of someone in the Paws staff in 2053, decided to make a strip about how much Garfield missed his past experiences, oh by the way, I drew the entire strip and used the Garfield font.

2678: The End of Garfield, in 2053

== Explanation ==
Immediately following #2677, David Morgan-Mar has crafted a theoretical end to Garfield, 75 years to the day of its debut -- of course, his notes are sarcastic, since the "2053" strips' purpose is to satirize Garfield's stagnation. They mention "Early Installment Weirdness", where a work originally differs from what one is used to.
What the annotation didn't note that this strip is actually based on #2417 by MadDogBV, minus the "Thanks for reading!" message in place of the date and Jim Davis' signature. They both mention U.S. Acres, which ended in 1989. Evidently, it could never quite reach the same fervor as Garfield.
== The author writes ==
After a long and successful run, the cybernetic organism known as Jim Davis finally decided to pull the plug on his comic strip in the year 2053.
The strip evolved a lot in the intervening 75 years, from the early installment weirdness in which each comic presented a different and never-seen-before series of panels, in which Garfield interacted with other characters, as seen from an anonymous third-party observer's point of view, to the present much-beloved and much-emulated comic format in which Garfield stoically informs the audience directly of his latest hilarious exploits in a meaningfully direct one-on-one narrative.
Despite its never-higher popularity, Davis decided to end the strip on a high, rather than let it decline.

267: Garfloraled, Part 3

==Explanation==
This is the last in a series of three strips in which Garfield, originally his normal orange with black stripes, had the coloration of the chair, and vice versa. In the original, Garfield sneezes due to the floral print, as if it produced pollen; here, he sneezes, and it rains on him.
The author combined his idea with the concept in another Garfield strip, in which Jon reads that "If a cat sneezes, it is a sign of rain"; Garfield then sneezes, and it rains on Jon. You could say that the reskinning is completely superfluous now, but he is covered in floral print, so maybe it needs the rain...?
==The author writes:==
And here's one, taking an idea from . And here marks the end of me editing this strip.

2680: Rilke's Panther

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Garfield in the Rough had a rather unusual aberration - a realistic portrayal of a panther in an otherwise cartoony TV special. Unlike the majority of bullies, tricksters and frauds on the TV show, the Panther was simply a force of nature that couldn't be dealt with by clever talk or convoluted schemes. Your only and best bet for survival would be to avoid as much contact as possible, and woe betide anybody who'd be brave/hardy enough to go up against a fearsome beast without convenient dei ex machina nearby.
This is actually a combination of various differing translations of the German poem, which I personally felt made for the biggest impact. Another comic adaption had the "image" in the animal's head as being surrounded by dense jungle, further heightening the tragic imprisonment.
Inspiration for this obviously came from the poem's usage in the movie Awakenings, starring Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams.
Original strip: the Garfield in the Rough comic book.
==Transcript==
Panther: ROAR
His gaze from passing by the bars
Panther: RRRRRR
Is so weary, he can retain no more.
SFX: Crack!
To him, it is as if there were a thousand bars
Jon: Ahhhhhh!
SFX: HONNNNK!
And past those thousand bars, no world.
SFX: Slash!
As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a center
in which a mighty will stands paralyzed.
Only at times, the pupils' curtain lifts,
and quietly, an image moves inside,
races down through the tensed, arrested muscles,
reaches the heart, and dies.
Garfield: Nice touch

2681: Garfield is Wrong

==Explanation==
This strip pokes fun at Garfield's loose continuity, notably compiling the last panel of one strip and the first panel of the following day's strip showing an outcome a casual reader unaware of Garfield gags might not presume to have been possible at the time the original Garfield strips ran.
==The author writes:==
This is my first submitted SRoMG comic. So, that's great. I guess can be considered a sequel to #2296. I just found it weird, how Garfield says Jon will never be seen again, but in the very next comic, Jon is not just being seen, but he's actually being STARED AT by Garfield. I wonder if this was done on purpose.

==Explanation==
This strip replaces Garfield with Banana Man, a character used in Japanese advertising for Dole bananas.

2684: I Want To Dance

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The idea for this game from an episode of VeggieTales (A Christian kids' show about vegetables that teaches life lessons) named "A Snoodle's Tale", released mid-2004. Its secondary story is "Dr. Jiggle and Mr. Sly", a parody of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" with a little disco thrown in.
In that segment, Dr. Jiggle (Jimmy Gourd) performs a short musical number while the two detectives Mr. Butterbun (Scooter the Scottish Carrot) and Mr. Poole (Larry the Cucumber) are basically frozen the entire time. When they finally move again, Mr. Butterbun says the line Garfield says above.
Dr. Jiggle's short musical number is called "I Want To Dance", so that's what the title is.
Also, in levels of seriousness (usually), Garfield is representative of Mr. Butterbun and Odie is representative of Mr. Poole.
