3937: Number One With A

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Frank P. Keller won an Academy Award for Best Film Editing for his work* on Bullitt (1968), probably on the strength alone of the extended car chase for which the film is almost solely remembered today. I doubt this comic will be winning any similar editing laurels.
*the second-best piece of Oscar-winning work of the 41st Awards from a film starring Steve McQueen

393: ASCIIfield Mark II

==Explanation==
The first Asciifield was very simple and monochrome. This image is in color, and gives us more detail at the expense of being larger. It also uses a strip with dialogue more obviously connected to ASCII.
ASCII is a character encoding standard that tells programs to display a certain typing character when given certain data. While this is typically done in the service of text-based information, ASCII art attempts to present us with pictures using the more limited forms provided by ASCII characters.
==The author writes==
Unfortunately, image-to-ASCII art conversion leaves out a ton of detail, and also makes text difficult to read. Oh well.
Original strip: .

Jon: Tell me, my little wahine, what do you do? I'll bet you walk along the beach all day, then go home to your little thatched hut at night, right?
Woman: I'm a computer programmer from Cleveland.
Jon: Close. How about a date?
Garfield: He didn't even blink.

3940: Garfield Minus Patience

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Not shown: panels 9-25:
"Our struggles with digital payment end here and now!" Jon screams, loud enough that people start noticing, people start paying attention. "We have been oppressed by these complex self-checkouts for too long! Conforming to a world where it takes four steps to buy a whole American snack food only contributes to the technological singularity!"
"The computers may outsmart us now, but this will change." With that, Jon rips the pinpad off its stand in an impressive feat of strength. Onlookers gawk and cheer, surprised that one completely ordinary man can be endowed with such bravery. "Humanity was born to stick together, and those siding with the machines will be outed as traitors to our species!" he quips, hoisting himself onto the scanner and holding his fresh kill skyward for all to see. "When we fight the world, we win!"
Every customer in the store is rooting for him now. Even Garfield is purring in approval!
Looking upon the faces of his furious peers, Jon has a warm feeling - a feeling that feels alien to him, yet oddly familiar, like a long-lost sibling. He feels like he... belongs...
Jon wakes up in a cold sweat, clutching his polka-dot body pillow to his chest. Another taunting dream. It's been two weeks since the incident. By "the incident", I mean, of course, that day he bought some snacks from the grocery store and it took him a minute longer than it should've.
Locked fast within a time when he can no longer comprehend the processes involved to purchase cheese doodles, Jon grapples with his greatest fear... being left behind. Not only by society, but by the world itself.
Overtaken by rage, Jon storms out of bed, and finds himself a pencil and a bit of scrap paper. He is about to draft the most important cartoon he may ever draft.
For in this time and age, he has only one weapon.
The funny pages.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Jon is standing in front of a pinpad}
Pinpad: Please swipe your card
{He swipes his card. Garfield briefly gazes to the fourth wall}
Pinpad: Would you like to donate a dollar to charity today?
{Jon taps the pinpad with an angry expression. Garfield is angry as well}
Pinpad: Enter pin
{Jon taps the pinpad several times. His and Garfield's anger grow}
Pinpad: Your total is $3.32. Is this correct?
{Jon, shocked that this transaction isn't finished yet, simply looks at the pinpad in disbelief. Garfield throws an angry glance to the viewer that resonates with us all}
Jon: ALL I WANT IS A BAG OF CHEESE DOODLES!
Garfield: DON'T WE ALL?!!
==Trivia==
There is an error in the transcript; the strip itself states the subtotal to be $3.24, but the transcript says the subtotal is $3.32.

3943: Arbuckle Haze

==Explanation==
The title, changed dialogue in the third panel, and author's note are all a reference to the song "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix. The parenthetical, however, builds on the previous statement to make a call forward to 1990-05-31, in which Liz's eyes "cast a spell" on Jon; Liz says it didn't work, as he's not a slug yet. "Whatever it Liz" is a pun on "Whatever it is".
==The author writes:==
For shame, he didn't even excuse himself to do so first. Well, whatever it Liz, that girl put a spell on him. (But he didn't turn into a slug, oddly.)
Original strip: .

Jon: I can't believe I blew a chance to give Liz a good-night kiss!
{Jon puts his head between his knees and his hand on the back of his head}
Jon: I can't believe I kissed the sky!
{Garfield leans on the arm of the chair and looks reproachfully at him}
Garfield: You're supposed to kiss her and close your eyes, not close your eyes and kiss her, you dip!

3945: Turns out putting things on tape is really hard

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
So following in the footsteps of my last submission (comic #3856), I decided to give it another go! This time around, instead of importing the raw data into a .wav file directly, I instead converted it to a bitstream. This was imported into Audacity, where every 0 was a -1 on the waveform, and every 1 was a 1 (funnily enough).
This was then dubbed onto tape, and I ripped it back onto my computer. I then converted this .wav file back into a bitstream, where every negative sample value was a 0, and every positive sample value was a 1. This bitstream was finally converted into a png using Imagemagick.
There are actual colours this time, which is an improvement! However, they are in a complete shambles, making it feel like you're having a seizure just looking at it. Weirdly, you can still make out the outlines of the original comic, so we can see that at least some of the image data was recovered. Also of note is how the colours tend to form long lines and streaks across the image, which is fairly interesting.
I'm not sure if this is better or worse than last time. I may have to look at my setup and get a better tape deck.
Original strip: .

{Jon drinks coffee with his back to Garfield, who is dancing}

Garfield: Well, I'll sure, I'll sure, I'll sure
Garfield: I'll sure, I'll sure, I'll sure, I'll sure
{Garfield looks annoyed at the turntable that, unknown to us, he has been miming to; it has started repeating}
Turntable: I'll sure, I'll sure, I'll sure, I'll sure, I'll sure, I'll sure
Turntable: I'll sure

394: Changes Everything

==Explanation==
In the original 2006 strip, Jon observes that he's going to have to change his socks more often, now that having a girlfriend has made him more aware of how things smell.
In the original 1984 strip, Jon finds that he's not as hardened to the fact that pets will be around food as he thought when Garfield retrieves his stripe from it, thus giving impetus for him to throw his food away.
Mashing them up seems to bring us back to the message of the 2006 strip, only directed at his food, perhaps saying that some of the food he used to find acceptable to eat no longer smells good enough now that there will be a woman around.

The raid boss theme (unfortunately not available to link due to copyright strikes) of Dragalia Lost begins with a rather bombastic vocal track, after a roar from the monster being fought.

3955: Milk

==Explanation==
The Garfield Fat Cat 3-Pack in question is volume 2, and presumably its colorized version based on the author's description; that volume is the one that includes Garfield Weighs In: His Fourth Book, the compilation book that includes the original strip where Garfield swore off milk.
==The author writes:==
I recently (as of making this, that is) got a Garfield Fat Cat 3-Pack as an early Christmas present, and upon seeing the 1980-08-20 strip I just knew I had to track down all the later strips where Garfield drinks or wants to drink milk. I guess these little inconsistencies should be expected in a strip going on for over 40 years, but tracking them down still amused me. Garfield's appearance in the famous '90s "Got Milk?" campaign was the icing on the cake.
Anyway, Calvin and Hobbes did a much funnier take on the subject, natch.

==Transcript==
{At the farm, Jon points to a cow's udder}

{Jon knowingly pours milk into Garfield's mouth, which is full of cereal}
Jon: Just kidding!

Garfield: How about a glass of milk?

Garfield: It is
Jon: I forgot how far cats can stretch
Garfield: Now, I think I'll get some milk out of the neighbor's refrigerator
Text: Lazy bones? Ha! My bones are growing. 'Cause I lap up fat free milk. You should, too. Calcium helps your bones grow until about age 35. After that, it helps keep them strong. Plus, nothing goes better with lasagna. Would you mind spoon feeding me?

3956: Randomly Generated Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Inspired by this YouTube video of a clip from VeggieTales. Seemed like the perfect fit for a SRoMG edit.
For those who'd rather not watch it, the clip opens with Larry the Cucumber telling Bob the Tomato about the future of entertainment - RANDOMLY GENERATED HUMOR! Larry then takes Bob to the Auto-Tainment center where they are greeted by Rusty and Ventrilomatic. Here's the complete exchange:
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
"I dunno! Why did the chicken cross the road?"
*Computer beeps*
"Weed eater."
I imagined this - "What if this was applied to Garfield? What if Jim got so lazy making strips that he just let a computer do it for him?" And low and behold - this exists. VeggieTales was right all along.
Now if you excuse me, I need a rest.

3960: I Said

==Explanation==
This strip pokes fun at the sizable amount of information, and by extension misinformation, about COVID-19 floating around shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic was formally declared in the early parts of March 11, 2020; by the later parts of that day in North American time zones, society as the world had known it prior to the pandemic would cease as the world began shutting down, accelerated by a major event that happened in Oklahoma City that evening. What was originally Pooky wearing a strange birthday hat in the original strip was overlaid with the logos of Facebook, Twitter, CNN, Fox News, NBC News, and BBC News (it is unknown how slighted Australian users were not seeing ABC News among the logos), all of which were dedicating heavy coverage to the pandemic in the days following its formal declaration as a pandemic.
Although this strip was clearly poking fun at coverage of COVID-19, the Square Root of Minus Garfield top dogs knew COVID-19 itself was a serious subject, and thus presumably accelerated this strip through the queue and attached an author's note including both serious and semi-serious requests for the readership to keep themselves safe.
==The author writes:==
yeah, COVID-19 sucks
[Guess you can add this website to this list! Stay safe, wash your hands, stay home when you can, keep your distance from other people when you can't, have some empathy for those who would lose their jobs and houses if they did the right thing, try and persuade your elderly relatives that bingo night isn't actually essential to human function and that diseases don't respectfully keep away because they're "just popping out to lend Maureen that book she wants", and, above all, submit to SRoMG. -Ed]
