2717: Arrested Developmentfield

==Explanation==
In this original Garfield strip, Jon is hit in the back of the head by a banana peel. Jon tells Garfield that Garfield is carrying this banana thing too far! Garfield is covered with bananas and he says "Thmile when you thay that!" 
In this Square Root of Minus Garfield strip, Garfield is replaced by Mr. Banana Grabber and he says no touching my banana!
The author tells Garfield that the world might be constantly changing, but they haven't stopped making frozen bananas. This is a reference to the frozen pudding pops strip.

2718: Insurmountable Waist-High Fence

==Explanation==
Both the Invisible Wall and the Insurmountable Waist-High Fence are common ways to force the player of a video game to stay out of certain areas, or at least to approach them the way it wants the player to. (An example of the latter use is in Paper Mario, where you can see a Star Piece in the first section of Toad Town, but you can't get it until you return from Lavalava Island with Sushie.) Where Invisible Walls block you, often without in-game explanation, Insurmountable Waist-High Fences are often a meager explanation for why you can't go that way, even if the character could jump high enough to clear it. It's basically an Invisible Wall on top of a too-short obstacle.
==The author writes:==
Hey, Garfield, meet the Invisible Wall's visible cousin, the Insurmountable Waist-High Fence!
This is one of a few strips I chose based on the repeating numbers in the date.

271: Elvield

==Explanation==
In the grand tradition of rewriting dialogue, Garfield's instruction to Nermal is turned into a parody of "Blue Suede Shoes", a song commonly associated with Elvis Presley, who did a well-known cover early in its history.
"The number that came up," by the way, refers to the random number pertaining to the day, obtained from a die-rolling program the author described using several strips earlier.
==The author writes:==
I eventually did use the number that came up, by the way. When I looked at the strip, the result was inevitable...

Garfield: {ejecting Nermal from his bed} Out!</br> 
Garfield: {singing} You can scratch up my chair, insult my ma, play with my mouse, or beat up my dog, but don't you...</br>

2720: Nope, We're Still Good

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield comic, Jon tells Garfield the world seems to be getting along without him. Garfield says okay. Garfield also says "How about now?"
Here, the speech bubble and the thought bubble have been swapped and Garfield tells Jon the world seems to be getting along without him. Not only that, Garfield's thought bubble now becomes Jon's thought bubble and now Jon thinks "How about now?"
==The author writes:==
It's kind of sad that this conversation makes just as much sense with the dialogue swapped. And now Jon can apparently hear Garfield's thoughts...

==Explanation==
In this original Garfield comic, either Garfield thought it was his imagination, or he just realized this strip was getting longer.

2722: Garfield Minus Jealousy Plus Sadness

==Explanation==
In the original comic, Garfield's "HA!" was met with anger borne of jealousy, which expressed itself as denying that sprinkles are that great; this was met with Garfield telling Jon to keep telling himself that, indicating that Garfield doesn't believe Jon believes it himself, and has to convince himself that it's the case if he wishes to feel better, as Garfield himself won't be convinced that sprinkles on vanilla ice cream aren't superior to vanilla ice cream without sprinkles.
In this edit, Jon's jealous reactions are replaced by silent sadness, with tears manifesting in the last panel, not commented upon by Garfield.
Art-wise, this was achieved by copying Jon's head to the last panel and drawing tears, and copying his eyes to the second panel and moving his pupils. Also, the speech and thought callouts in the last panel were removed.
==The author writes:==

2723: Lizfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
In this universe, Liz Field is Jon's "doctor" of some sort who takes pity on her patient's lonely life, and they fall in love. The strip becomes a heartwarming relationship comic featuring a highly eccentric man and his ever-suffering girlfriend.
The meaning of the final panel is left for you to decipher.
Technical notes: This took far longer to make than I first thought - the backgrounds had to be redrawn and there aren't many shots of Liz more than just head and shoulders, particularly in the early years before the art style evolves. The first panel is from after being rotated and given eyes from , the second from 1980-01-29 and the third from .

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I wasn't alive at the time, so I can't say from first-hand experience, but apparently the original comic confused some people when it came out. One thing led to another, and now I rule the state of Montana.

2725: Jon's Place

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield comic, Jon's mind goes to another place, a very happy place, he chooses The Polka Palace but Garfield doesn't want Jon to choose The Polka Palace because it will make him scared.
Here, Jon's mind goes to his other place, then Jon picked the cosmos, and now the background now becomes the cosmos, Garfield was able to see this and made a panicked face like he is about to run away.

2726: Unguarded Explosion

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield comic, Garfield spotted a hamburger on the table and he tosses the hamburger into his mouth, then Garfield realized it was cat food, which Jon tricked Garfield into eating.
But in this edit, what was in that hamburger has been replaced with nitro glycerin, resulting in a huge explosion.
Nitro glycerin is an explosive liquid, and a pretty powerful liquid, too; dropping a feather on it can detonate it, and it explodes faster than what the human eye can see bare. 
==The author writes:==
Anyone familiar with Wile E. Coyote cartoons know what nitroglycerin is, but for those who don't, let me explain: it's explosive liquid, and a pretty powerful liquid, too; dropping a feather on it can detonate it, and it explodes faster than what the human eye can see bare. Yeah, it's painfully inaccurate, since nitroglycerin really doesn't make explosions that big, but hey, it's Garfield, did you expect scientific accuracy?

2727: Prehistoric Garfasaurus

== Explanation ==
In the original strip, Garfield drew a mustache on Jon's photo; Jon demanded he "fix it," only for Garfield to draw a mustache on Jon himself. In this edit, Garfield actually gives in and erases the mustache; other than that, everything is the same.
The "eagle-eyed" reference in the title is one to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time; in the spirit of #2525, the title doesn't really have anything to do with the strip.
== The author writes ==
The title contains a hidden reference that only the eagle-eyed can guess. Anyone who gets it right gets a prize (Not really... :-P)

2728: Jon's Aunt Gussie turns the air blue

==Explanation==
The author thought of the idea for these original Garfield strips. The first original Garfield strip was where Jon talks to Aunt Gussie on the phone saying that Aunt Gussie would take care of Jon's cat while he's on vacation. The second original Garfield strip was where Jon talks to Liz on the phone saying if she would like to go to the movies on Friday night. The third original Garfield strip was where Jon talks to Lisa on the phone saying that he has two tickets to the Polka Joe Concert at the Bowl-O-Rama for this New Year's Eve. Then Jon hangs up the phone and realizes that he just learned three new words. The author turned it into a story where Jon talks to Aunt Gussie on the phone saying that Aunt Gussie would take care of Jon's cat while he's on vacation. Jon gets shocked and says "What?" and puts down the phone because he realized he just learned three new words. Garfield says that's it's unsuitable for a comic strip.
The title in the end "turns the air blue" means to speak a stream of bad language; to curse and swear.

Aunt Gussie learned from her past mistakes.

2731: Autocorrelated Wallpaper

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Computer-assisted image interpretation is a difficult field, since getting the computer to "see" isn't easy. One of the simplest and easiest to understand tools is the cross-correlation operation, which allows you to compare two images and see if there's something in one of them that's also in the other.
The way it works is so simple, it could even be done without a computer. To get how good the images "fit", we just multiply every pixel value of one picture with the corresponding pixel value of the other, and then sum them all up. Obviously, the more pixels have similar values, the higher the resulting number will be. We put that number into the pixel (0,0) of our result, and then fill the rest with the result of the above operation after we shift one picture with that vector in regards to the other. So we shift it down one pixel for the pixel (1,0), one to the right for (0,1), and so on. This way, we get a picture the size of our input pictures, which is brighter at spots that correspond to a shift which makes the two pictures overlap nicely.
You can see this in the above picture, which is the cross-correlation of the last frame of the 1981-05-11 comic with itself. If you go and look at the original picture, you'll see that it has a regular pattern to it, from the wallpaper. Scientists call such a pattern periodic, as you can shift it by some fixed lengths and directions, and get the same pattern again. Notice how this ties into the way the cross-correlation works: if we do the cross-correlation of a periodic pattern with itself (also called auto-correlation), we should see bright spots at places which correspond to our pattern periodicity.
And lo and behold, we do. The other spots aren't as bright as the center one (which corresponds to no shift, therefore perfect matching), because our picture isn't perfectly periodic. Not only did Jim Davis draw all those stripes by hand, so that they're not quite copies of each other, we also have the ledge, Garfield's face and his thought bubble, which don't fit in, and therefore reduce the correlation when we shift the picture. Still, a computer could interpret the auto-correlation and arrive at the result that there are periodic components to the picture we've given it.

2732: Wrong Dummy

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield comic, Jon calls Garfield an attack cat and he wants Garfield to kill the dummy beside him. Jon shouts out "KILL!" and raises his hand to the ceiling up high. Then in the third panel, Jon has been beaten up and scratched by Garfield but doesn't die in the original Garfield comic because he was the wrong dummy
However, in this edit, he does die in this edit and the gravestone reads "Jon Arbuckle - RIP - Wrong Dummy."

273: Night Garfield

==Explanation==
The "glaring error" of which the admin speaks is probably more of a colorist's error than directly Jim's fault; while Jon explicitly says it's "the middle of the night", the part of the sky that can be seen is the light blue of day in the original. This edit corrects this, turning it black.
The coloring error in question notably long affected the version on the garfield.com archive--an observation by one user on the Garfield wiki on Fandom implies it was corrected very late in the archive's existence, so late in its existence in that most archives of that archive still have the error version, with the rare corrected version being available on the aforementioned Garfield wiki (here)--and still affects the version on the secure-domain mirror on what was once the now-busted images.ucomics.com domain. The main GoComics archive, usually the subject of its own coloring criticisms, actually colors the sky somewhat realistically, more in line with the late-era corrected garfield.com version.
==The author writes:==
