3257: 50 Ways to Say Goodbye

==Explanation ==
The comic is a parody of the song 50 ways to say goodbye where the singer must come up with lies about how someone died. The comic takes strips from the original comic (and some from the sromg comics) to show how Garfield died.

==Author writes==
I happened to know that killing off Garfield was a recurring gag in SRoMG. I also happened to know that setting Garfield panels to song lyrics was another recurring thing in SRoMG. I stumbled upon these lyrics on TV Tropes (more specifically the quotes page for The Many Deaths Of You). So I strung it all together (after weeks of procrastination, that is).
Original song: "50 Ways to Say Goodbye" by Train.
Original strips and Square Root of Minus Garfield strips: see annotations on individual panels (links are in transcript).
