279: Vertical Garfield

==Explanation==
The author's note has a concise explanation of what he did, but a couple of things stand out:
* For the panels with borders on them, their leftmost and rightmost columns are seen as dark bands, since the borders are uninterrupted bands of dark coloration. The top lines aren't seen, since they're diluted with the colors within the panel. However, it may be possible to detect that they are making the colors within slightly darker.
* The columns of orange readily betray the presence of Garfield. Jon's presence might be guessed by the light blue bands.
==The author writes:==
Composited by taking all of the pixels in a single pixel vertical row and averaging the colours.

27: Garfield Meets Zeus

==Explanation==
In ancient Greek religion, Zeus was the head of Mount Olympus and the ruler of all other gods. In modern times, he's often depicted throwing lightning bolts at people (like Garfield here). The whole joke, of course, is that "dog" and "god" are easily switched around.
==The author writes:==
The number of "Beware of Dog"-sign jokes in the Garfield archives is staggering. I decided getting the obvious joke out of the way would be fun.

Garfield: {severely damaged, and with smoke coming off him} That sign was somewhat understated.

2803: Nixon

==Explanation==
This strip takes an original Garfield strip involving Jon mistaking a toilet paper roll for Garfield's Christmas list and slaps the face of Richard Nixon onto Garfield's body, then rewords the dialogue to turn Garfield's Christmas list into Nixon's list of major political opponents. The initial list, linked to within the author's notes, consisted of just twenty names, although a much longer version of the list better fit for being alluded to in this strip came later. The author's notes also makes an allusion to the 18½-minute gap on one of Nixon's audio tapes that ultimately became part of the Watergate scandal that ultimately brought down the Nixon administration, culminating in Nixon's resignation; it is unknown just how one could potentially create the half-pixel necessary to literally complete an 18½-pixel gap.
==The author writes:==
By way of explanation. I'd have put more effort into panel 3, but then I realized an eighteen-and-a-half pixel gap would be the perfect way to end the strip.

2804: A rather chilly, yet relatively normal morning in the Arbuckle household, with no horror or monophobia at all

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield still finds himself chilly, but feels an eerie sensation rather than blaming Jon messing with the thermostat. Strips following would follow Garfield as he finds the house long-abandoned, but for himself; in the end, he snaps out of his terrifying vision of being all alone -- monophobia being the fear of being alone -- to find that Jon is there, offering food.
In this edit, a previously-unknown volcano blows them all up before he can make any such discovery.
The closest known volcano to Muncie, Indiana is probably Hicks Dome, in Illinois, which is thought to have last erupted 400-345 million years ago. It's fairly close to Indiana, so an eruption could certainly have an effect on a home in Muncie, but it's unlikely to really blow them up. Besides, the author's note seems to indicate that the volcano sprung up in Muncie.
==The author writes:==
There is still no explanation as to why the house is so dark. Probably because Garfield woke up before Jon.
There is also no explanation for the volcano that suddenly sprung up in Muncie.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Garfield: {sitting up in bed wrapped in his blanket and shivering} Criminy! Why is it so freaking cold this morning?
{gets out of bed}
Garfield: Jon must have turned down the thermostat...
Garfield: I better go adjust the stupid thing. I'll beat him up later.
{He heads toward the hallway, to turn up the thermostat}
Small text in white box in bottom-right corner of panel: Then they all blew up in a volcano...the end.

2808: Wonderful Wiping

==Explanation==
In the original, Jon thought Garfield's motions were cuddling up to him, while we learned from Garfield's thoughts that his nose was wet. Here, Jon guesses that Garfield is wiping his nose on him, and is inexplicably happy about it, but Garfield's intent was cuddling.
==The author writes:==

2809: Square Root of Multiplied Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The concept here is simple; I took all strips that involved multiplication (be it in their creation or in the transcript), put them into a layered image, and set all layers to blend via Multiplication. If the strip's resolution wasn't 600×178 (the most commonly used size for these strips) it was resized to it.
The result is a mishmash of a bunch of strips; you can faintly see each of them in there. Panel 1 was surprisingly stable, as was panel 3. It really only shows because of 2731's dark pattern, and the differences in panel 2 between 2206 and 2325.
[Admin note: The strip ended up very dark because of the multiplication operation. A quick adjustment using Photoshop's levels adjustment results in the following more legible version:]
Original Square Root of Minus Garfield strips: #2206, #2251, #2325, #2731.
==Transcript==
{The strip is a mishmash of various strips, multiplied together. Some words are approximated to what they vaguely resemble.}
{Garfield is walking.}
{He stumbles upon Odie, with a strange entity. Either a girlfriend, or a clone. The multiplication makes it hard to tell.}
Garfield: Odie has a girceonend!
{Garfield leaves, looking exasperated}
Garfield: Please don't let them multiply!

280: Yoda Garfield

==Explanation==
To change the sentence structure of Jon and Garfield's dialogue, the author's intent was. Changed it to object-subject-verb, he did. Reminiscent of the speech patterns of Yoda from the Star Wars franchise, it is.
Yoda, as mentioned above, is a character from the Star Wars franchise. He is quite a few hundred years old, and wise in the ways of the Force. Like the dialogue in this comic, he tends to use object-subject-verb order, though this is not always the case.

281: Breaking the 4th Wall

==Explanation==
In the second panel, the background of Jon's house breaks away for a bit to reveal the HTML code for Square Root of Minus Garfield proper; hence, breaking the fourth wall. Garfield's final comment implies that Jon is living in the Matrix, a simulated reality from the film franchise of the same name. "Mr. Anderson" is the name of the main character Neo, who discovers the nature of the Matrix. The only person to refer to him by that name is Agent Smith, the person who leads him out of the Matrix in the first place.

2820: Et tu, Puyo Pop?

== Explanation ==
This comic is a reference to the Puyo Puyo series. The TV Tropes article quoted in the author's notes already provides an adequate explanation of the basic gameplay, though variants of that standard rule do exist. For example, Puyo Puyo 2 (The Japanese title is Puyo Puyo Tsu, tsu, in addition to being a pun on two, translating to master in Japanese) introduced the now-standard "offsetting" mechanic, where Nuisance Puyo that are in reserve have a chance to be countered and sent back to the opponent; likewise, Puyo Pop Fever introduced the titular Fever mode, where readily-prepared chains of Puyo are cleared at a rapid pace.
In the strip proper, Garfield is having trouble sleeping due to the presence of three of that series' characters - Arle, Amitie, and Ringo - who are presumably engaged in a Puyo Puyo match. The title of the strip refers to Julius Caesar's infamous final words in Shakespeare's play of the same name.
The market-based title of the Puyo Puyo series was already being phased out by the time this strip first ran. Although this strip preceded Puyo Puyo Tetris's Western release by two months, the writing had long been on the wall for the Puyo Pop title; the last time the Puyo Pop name was used was for the European Nintendo DS release of Puyo Pop Fever on June 23, 2006. Untranslated import Virtual Console releases of Puyo Puyo 2, the only western releases of full titles in the series between Fever and Puyo Tetris that weren't re-releases of reskinned versions of the original Puyo Puyo, kept the title as is; additionally, the Puyo Puyo 39! minigame from Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX, released in North America on September 8, 2015 (more than a year before this strip was released), also kept the name of the minigame as-is in western releases, the first time the Puyo Puyo name had been retained for a translated release since the obscure translated version of the 1992 arcade release of the original Puyo Puyo.
== Explanation == 
Quoth TV Tropes:
"Puyo Puyo, known as Puyo Pop outside of Japan, is a series of competitive Falling Block puzzle games originally created by Compile and currently owned by Sega. The object of the game is to flood your opponent's board with Nuisance Puyo by making chains with several multi-colored Puyo, which explode when four of the same color are connected."
I'll leave the rest to them.

2821: Blunt cat the Fifth: Send my (Finale)

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Jon Arbuckle and his cat, Garfield, are sitting silently. Jon tells Garfield that he can't think of something to say. Garfield balls up his fist and says, "Darn it, Jon!". Then he spreads his arms and asks Jon angrily how Garfield is supposed to ignore Jon.
Now, take a look at this strip. 
In the first version of this edit, Jon tells Garfield that he can think of something to say. Garfield replies with a "ĉio" ("everything" in Esperanto). Then Garfield disappears. Jon's hair and shirt have been swapped. Now Jon's hair looks green, and Jon's shirt looks brown. Jon is supposed to be thinking something, but his thought bubble turns static. 
In the second version of this edit, Jon tells Garfield that he can't do it. Garfield balls up his fist, and his nose turns yellow. In the third panel, Garfield's nose turns back to pink, and he spreads his arms, turning away from Jon while speaking German ("Ich muss die wahrheit ignorieren!", possibly meaning "I have to ignore the truth!"). The background changes into the German flag. 
In the third version of this edit, Garfield has been removed from the first two panels, and some text is in Japanese between the first and second panels reading: "翻訳者注：私は踊ることができます。" ("Translator's note: I can dance.) Jon's mouth is backwards, and the background changes into a swirl. Jon says he can anything? Jon Arbuckle disappears. Then a Windows 95 dialogue box from 1995 appears with one Garfield looking desperate in front of it and another Garfield looking behind it.
The author has a fun fact for you, Garfield never speaks English in this second version, but "Jon" doesn't count.
