2977: Well, I'll find someone that's not going Cheep-Cheep in the sales

==Explanation==
Sushie is a Cheep-Cheep from Paper Mario. According to the Super Mario Wiki, Sushie is Mario's seventh party member. She is resided in Yoshi's Village in Lavalava Island. However, according to the Yoshi children, she is very bossy. Her name is based on the famous Japanese dish.
The author likes Sushie from the Mario universe, and of all the minor characters in the Mario universe, Sushie is one of his favourites. Seeing the original strip where Jon brings Garfield a goldfish came to mind. Now Jon has a Cheep-Cheep, who wants to be named. Garfield picked the name "Sushie" for a purple Cheep-Cheep.
The title says that he'll find someone that is not going Cheep-Cheep in the sales. The reason why he thought of that title is that he will find someone who is not selling a fish in the aquarium or the water or something.
There is also a minor enemy called Sushi, but it doesn't look cute. Know why? Cause it's a shark from Mario Party 9.
==The author writes:==

2978: Even Easier Targets

==Explanation==
Taking inspiration from 2710: Anything But Johnny Test!, this strip runs two scenarios, both of them also jabs at animated television programs. The first scenario takes a shot at Teen Titans Go!, a show that has since come to define the Cartoon Network lineup (although the program would presumably never run for seven straight days on the American service, such a marathon there would presumably be broken up by the lineup of the Adult Swim block). The second scenario takes a shot at later seasons of The Simpsons, especially when they're more commonly seen than the earlier seasons that at least some fans tend to prefer.

297: Garfield versus Odie's Dark Abyss of a Soul

==Explanation==
In the base strip, Garfield got Odie to frown by frowning at him. The "melted" Garfield was a "suit" of fur which Garfield removed to make himself weigh less. These two comics were mashed together with further editing to create the story of an Odie who has the ability to melt Garfield by shining evil darkness on him.

2992: Jim Davis' Lawyers

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield comic, Garfield is standing on a field meeting a fat lazy, cat named Grafield. Grafield introduces himself saying, "Hello, I'm a fat, lazy cat!" Garfield asks Grafield what his name is. Grafield tells Garfield it's Grafield. Then Garfield tells Grafield to wait right here. And then, Garfield walks into the room where Jon Arbuckle is. Garfield tells Jon to call their lawyer.
In this Square Root of Minus Garfield edit, Jon Arbuckle has been replaced by Jim Davis' lawyers from "Strong Bad Classics!" called Porridge Maiden. Sure, they may look like Lyman, but they're still lawyers. And the author points out a reference to the Homestar Runner cartoon because he is a Homestar Runner fan. And Garfield's thought bubble "Call our lawyer" has been replaced by "Sup, Jim Davis' lawyers."

29: Circumference of Garfield

==Explanation==
In the original comic, Jon asks about the last piece of pie (which Garfield has undoubtedly eaten). In this comic, the query is about a last digit of pi, a constant equal to the circumference of any circle divided by its diameter. Pi has no last digit, and it doesn't even repeat, so you can't even call the digit before it starts repeating the "last digit"; here, the last digit we see is the 29th decimal place.
Also note that the similarly math-focused webcomic xkcd is mentioned in the description.
==The author writes:==
Between this, Garfield Minus Garfield, Garfield Plus Garfield, and Garfield Divided by Garfield, Garfield is quickly catching up to xkcd in the amount of silly mathematics jokes involved. Hopefully, we won't end up getting to "Standard Deviation of Garfield" jokes.

2: Garfield Plus Garfield

==Explanation==
The first few strips were fairly simple edits - for example, this strip simply adds another Garfield, altering the dialogue to match. The title, obviously, is the inverse of Garfield Minus Garfield, which partly inspired SRoMG. Another, more subtle change is that a typo in the original strip has been fixed (originally, the last line was written as "the the fridge").
A curious thing to note is that despite the presence of two Garfields (who are apparently a hive mind), only one is shown think-speaking.
==The author writes:==
.
==Transcript==
Jon: Garfield, all I think about is Liz...
Jon: I can't think about anything else. 
Garfields: We know what you mean...
Garfields: We can't get our minds off that ham in the fridge.

* #1275 edits this strip as a satire of syndication cuts.

3002: Garfield in Lowercase

==Explanation==
As the strip's title implies, the strip proper and the transcript are entirely in lowercase. To punctuate that joke, the author's notes proper are entirely in uppercase, with the strip's presentation itself poking fun at the usage of all-uppercase in the majority of comic strips; while there are some comic strips that make use of both uppercase and lowercase (Gasoline Alley and Phoebe and Her Unicorn being examples of using both cases), those are few and far between in comparison to those that use all-uppercase.

3005: TechnoGarfield: Let's Kick Garfield!

== Explanation ==
The title of this strip is another reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time; unlike most previous strips with Turtles in Time references in the title, the strip itself is, in fact, connected to that game in some way - this time, it's the basic plot of traveling through time, hence that game's title.
As explained below, the author had intended for this to be part of a series, but while finding this particular strip passable on its own merits, they decided to shelve the overall idea due to the oversaturation of SRoMG memes.
== The author writes ==
This was the fourth strip in a planned mini-series I had in mind. The strips would have Garfield trying to make himself younger by changing the year on his calendar, which would lead to disastrous results. After realizing SRoMG's history with memes going overboard, I quickly shelved the idea, but I still thought that this strip was pretty good on its own.
