233: Garfield/3

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Original strip .
I just want to point out that this strip, to quote Garfield in the original, makes no sense at all. The purpose of a joke like this, as used in many other strips, not to mention almost ubiquitously in The Simpsons, is setting up an expectation and then humorously defying it. Jon's nonsensical statement about Garfield's "pointy elbows" sets up no expectations to defy in the third panel (and, come to think of it, my cat doesn't even have elbows). And we won't even get into the "headache."
I think this strip is funnier without the humour-siphoning "punchline," personally.

2342: Square Root of Minus Skeeter

==Explanation==
Another crossover with the creator's webcomic, Skeeter! In this comic, however, two of that webcomic's characters -- the titular Skeeter and his friend, Gordon -- are sprites in a black background. This strip also dabbles in black comedy, as it involves a group of Sonic the Hedgehog sprites being mutilated on a mountain similar to the one featured in the Paramount Pictures logo (or, rather, this variant of it, as well as Garfield clones constantly exploding. With the exception of the mountain, this comic consists entirely of sprites, although the mountain has been edited into a similar fashion. Notably, this was published with the intent of also being featured on the Skeeter website itself; it was eventually released, though with a different title. Sprites from the Japan-only A Week of Garfield are featured; SRoMG #21 is a template of these sprites.
==The author writes:==
This is the first time I've ever done a sprite comic, and it sure was NOT EASY. I got the idea from a YouTube video. I also wanted to experiment a little with black comedy.
Also, I've created this comic with the intent on also publishing on the main Skeeter! website. I previously featured Skeeter! before, but this time, I wanted to do a full crossover. I LOVE crossovers.
Garfield sprites from SRoMG #21. Sources for Sonic sprites: #1, #2. Source for Paramount mountain is here. The Skeeter and Gordon sprites are my own creation.

{Skeeter and Gordon are sprite characters in a black background}
Skeeter: Hey, Gordon, check it out! We're sprites!
Gordon: Cool, ain't it? Now we can star in our own video game!
{The duo are suddenly approached by Jon Arbuckle, followed by a group of Garfield sextuplets}
Jon: Hello! Welcome to the Land of Exploding Garfields!
{Sure enough, the sixth Garfield explodes. Why else would it be called "The Land of Exploding Garfields"?}
Jon: Anyone wanna climb Hedgehog Mountain?
{The mountain in question is the Paramount mountain littered with Sonics who are obviously in pain. For Pete's sake, some are severed heads!}
Skeeter and Gordon: ...
{As they ponder, Jon continues to expect an answer as the fifth Garfield explodes, further hammering in the point that they're in the Land of Exploding Garfields}
Gordon: Yeah, we should leave. Now.
Skeeter: Way ahead of you.

2343: Existential Crisisfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Garfield, in spite of its banality, remains one of my favorite comic strips of all time, from the perspective of having basic and easily identifiable humor, as well as possessing the potential for post-modern ironic derivative humor generated from productions such as Garfield Minus Garfield (as well as strips contributed by yours truly). However, it cannot be denied that in recent years, the original strip has hit somewhat of a lull in quality. As of lately, I've become enamored by a blog known as Permanent Monday, a journal that was focused on critical analysis of the Garfield strips. One particular blog post struck a chord for me and thus has served as an inspiration for the strip as shown here (http://permanent-monday.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html). I like to think that Garfield has finally become aware of the formulaic droll of the goings-on of his life, the routines of his socially pathological owner, and the existence of his dopey dog roommate. He takes a pained, sidelong glance at the reader, and - to quote Mezzafield - "and he asks the obvious question."
Why indeed.

2344: New Super Garfield Bros.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Super Mario Bros is 30 years old this year. September 13, 3 decades ago, the mustachioed man from Donkey Kong and Mario Bros was reintroduced as the 'shroom eating', turtle stomping, flame throwing "plumber" (it's not clear if he does any actual plumbing) we know and love today. So, what better way to celebrate than to take a Garfield strip that was printed on the same day the game was released (at least in Japan, it's not clear exactly when the game was released in America) and change almost nothing but the text in the last panel? To be fair, it did take a little effort to rearrange the words (I WOULD use the Garfield font from SoStars like I did in Derpfield, but that sticks out like a sore thumb) and the word "captured" looks a little amateur-ish. But whatareyagonnado? Now that I think about it, how did Jon get Garfield into the movie theater? Someone get on that.

Original strip: Thank you, Mario! But the original strip date of this comic is in ano- Nah, I'm just kidding! .
==Transcript==
{Jon and Garfield are in a movie theater watching Teen Wolf, or something. Garfield stares into a box of popcorn, noticing all the popcorn is gone. There are some other people in the background, but they're not important.}
Princess "Peach" Toadstool {off-panel, what with her being captured by Bowser and all}: Mario, HELP!!!
{Garfield gets out of his seat.}
Jon: {not at all concerned about getting kicked out if management finds out he somehow snuck his cat into a movie theater} Where are you going? The movie isn't over yet.
{Garfield is now walking out of the theater, possibly to save the princess despite the fact that the princess specifically called out for Mario, not him. Jon is also still not concerned that Garfield is now exiting the theater in plain sight.}
Garfield: The movie is over when the princess is captured.

2345: Odie's Boyfriend

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The original SRoMG made the strip less heteronormative. This edit makes the strip more stereotyping and heteronormative.
I've also wondered about Garfield's stance on such issues. He's certainly willing to beseech God in favor of eugenics and his views on many recent developments like the Internet or healthy eating are quite caustic.

234: The Vampire Garfield Chronicles

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The Hallowe'en season has inspired me to do something a bit themed. Three panels, three different takes on Garfield as a vampire. Not really funny, unless you find mood whiplash or anime injokes hilarious. (The last panel makes more sense if you've seen the Alucard vs. Luke Valentine fight from Hellsing. If you go looking for it online, take heed: It's not for kids.)

2350: Indiana Mouse and the Repast Crusade

==Explanation==
In the original, the mouse's hat was... not incredibly different from the way it is now, but still significantly so. It was enough to make Garfield think that perhaps they were attracting a better breed of mouse. Here, the hat resembles the iconic hat worn by Indiana Jones in his series, and he thinks it means their leftover food is so old as to no longer be serviceable as food, i.e., It Belongs in a Museum, "What a Piece of Junk" meaning. The title is a pun on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where the line is first used.
Squeaking of puns, "mouse-eum".

Yes, I squandered the opportunity to have him call it a mouse-eum.

2351: Dialogue Contest - Result

==Explanation==
This strip essentially takes the "contest" started in 2335: Dialogue Contest and disappoints everyone who "entered" by essentially running the original Garfield strip unaltered, the only edit made being the addition of a fake winner credit below the strip proper. The end result of this strip implies that the material from the second panel was written in a manner not fit of a professional comic strip writer.
It is presumed that the outcome of the "contest" was scripted in advance due to running only sixteen strips after the strip where the "contest" began; production lead time would imply one could not run a proper contest in such a tight timeframe based on how long Square Root of Minus Garfield's strip queue was, then as now. It is for these reasons it is presumed the "deadline" for the "contest", as stated in #2335, was written based on the run date of the original Garfield strip, thus the scripted ending as played out in this strip was implied when that strip first ran. As it is presumed the "winner" is fictional, there likely was no Garfield wristwatch to give away.
==The author writes:==
The sequel to SRoMG #2335.
I'm not saying this strip reads like it was written by a six-year-old. I'm just saying that... okay, I am saying it reads like it was written by a six-year-old.
Nevertheless, I've always kind of liked this strip. I guess it's because for once, Garfield seems to be laughing with Jon, not at him. Whether that last panel instead represents very carefully hidden sarcasm is open to interpretation.

2357: Garfield Quest 1: The Lasagna Encounter

==Explanation==
The title and death dialog are references to the Space Quest series of games by Sierra's Two Guys from Andromeda, Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe. In them, you play space janitor Roger Wilco, who repeatedly becomes a hero only to fall back into near-anonymity between games, with only defeated (but living) foes bothering to remember him, and then only to exact revenge. The title in particular is a reference to Space Quest (Chapter) 1: The Sarien Encounter.
The series is known for its many deaths, which are accompanied by a dialog box with a death title (e.g., "Deceleration Trauma" for a fall to a hard surface), picture, and message much like the one in the comic, along with the buttons. Some to many (depending on the game) of the deaths have unique messages and , where applicable, pictures accompanying them.
Here, the death title is taken from a thought balloon which was removed from the third panel. Oddly, while the strip title refers to the first game, dialog with death messages and pictures didn't show up until Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon. They were added to the remake of The Sarien Encounter, though without death titles.

235: Moooo

==Explanation==
In the original, the denouement was exactly what you'd expect from Jon's sound effects and visual mimicry extravaganza, and Garfield's remark was pretty much what you'd expect from him: a jab at Jon's dating life. This edit switches the reality and Garfield's expectation; thus, Jon is excited about a date for which his clue to Garfield was to switch between making his fingers into horns and using his arms to approximate the shape of wings while making farm animal noises -- it is conceivable that his date might be a stereotypical Farmer's Daughter -- while Garfield had the more reasonable expectation that they were to take another road trip to Jon's parents' farm.

2361: The consequences of not having a panel border

==Explanation==
In the first original Garfield strip, Garfield's about to kick Odie off of the table, but before he does that, He talks to the readers first. He says, "with each new day, a cat's curiosity must be satisfied anew." Then Garfield kicked Odie off the table with his left foot and now Odie is off-screen. Garfield speaks to Odie, off-screen saying, "Yup, the law of gravity is still in effort."
Here, the author made the title because it has consequences of not having a panel border in this comic. Garfield's about to kick Odie off the table, but before he does that, He talks to the readers first. He says, "With each new day, a cat's curiosity must be satisfied anew." Then Garfield kicks Odie off the table with his left foot, but since there is no panel border in the second panel, Odie starts to fall right through, falling into a crate of TNT. Odie (off-screen) has been blown up in the third panel. Garfield speaks to Odie who is still off-screen, saying, "Yup, the law of gravity is still in effort." The author says it pretty much explains itself in the author's note.
