2056: What's inside the Fridge?

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
CT scanners are really useful for looking inside things, like this fridge.
Building on Alien@System's CT scanner from #1770, here's what the result of scanning an entire strip looks like after it's been reconstructed again.
Instead of solving simultaneous linear equations, my program used another method to reconstruct the image from the CT data: filtered back projection. Benefit of FBP is that it's simpler and not as computationally expensive, but the tradeoff is that it doesn't have as good image quality as methods using linear algebra or iterative solving.
Conceptually back projection is very simple. Since we're working with 2D art, each projection slice is just 1D line. (Whereas in a 3D CT each projection slice would be a 2D image, exactly like a regular X-ray image.) The source data for this strip was similar to the data in #1770, each pixel column is one slice.
We start with the first slice, and then we perform the back projection. We take the slice and extend it, or "smear", across the image plane along the axis we used to take the X-ray. The end result looks something like an image with streaks running across it as the 1 pixel column got stretched.
Then we take the next slice and perform the same smearing along the angle it was taken. And the next one, and the next one, and the next one, until we've gone through all slices. At the end we average all these projections together which gives us the reconstructed view of the inside of the object we're scanning.
Now, if we did all that, we'll find that our final image is all there, but all the details are very blurry. That's because they got smeared across all the different slices. This is where the filtered part comes in. Before we do the back projection, we apply a filter to each individual slice first. This is very much just like the sharpening filter in any image processing application, only computed in much more fancier way.
If you do run a sharpen filter on a photograph, you may notice that the acutance is increased because the filter overshoots at edges. This is why grossly oversharpened images seem to have halos around things. In ordinary photograph processing this is usually undesirable, but in our case this is exactly what we want. These overshoots where the filter compensates for the changes in brightness are what will erase the halos caused by the smearing of multiple slices together.
And thus what we're left with now is an image that is quite good representation of the insides of something, taken just by external observation with X-rays.

Any readers play Spelunky? No? Aw... Anyways, the item Garfield is shown with here is the elusive, and ever useful Jetpack.
I actually thought about putting an Item Crate next to the sign in the 2nd panel, but I thought it was funny if Garfield had no real reason to have the Jetpack.

2058: Extremely Misanthropic Garfield

==Explanation==
For this strip, NES Boy changed the question from movies to television episodes, and gives Garfield the answer "The Pandorica Opens", a fifth series Doctor Who episode in which the entirety of reality is apparently destroyed at the end. At this point, there's almost nowhere to escalate the joke to.
Almost.

2059: The Other Hawaiian Flu

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Sometimes, you hit "Random" on Garfield.com, and a potential SRoMG strip smacks you in the face.
Here's Wikipedia and TV Tropes on Magnum P.I., in case you're curious.
And be thankful I didn't reach for a "Hawaii Five-Oh Flu" joke instead (although there wasn't a Hawaiian shirt wearing character in that show, from what I recall, making that joke much harder to pull off).
Original strip: .

205: Variations on a Haircut 2

:This article's title is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is 205: Variations on a Haircut #2.
----
==Explanation==
The last Variations on a Haircut strip was 198, in which Garfield erased part of Jon's head with a pencil. Here, Jon is not only rather muscled, but has relatively long hair. Possibilities:
* This Jon was already muscled, and had even longer hair, the latter of which, Garfield semi-fixed with his razor.
* This Jon was pretty much the way we remember him, but this razor somehow added hair and toned muscle.
Speaking of toned muscle, Jon's body -- in both the not-head and the hair senses -- here comes from a strip in which Garfield found he could get a lifetime supply of lasagna by pressing "1", but was disappointed to learn it was just a dream, a fact he was able to deduce from Jon's appearance.
==The author writes:==
This is the second of two strips based on the same strip ().
The new art here comes from () one of my favourite recent Garfields. I just love the way Jon looks; it's just like in a dream, when someone you know says or does something they would never really do, or looks completely different but has the same identity, and the dream sticks in your head and you can't get it out of your head for the rest of the day.
==Transcript==

2060: Overused Doooggg!

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Once upon a time, I found the original 6 doooggg! comics by the Garfield Daily Comics mobile app's randomiser feature. I planned now about a week or two ago to submit this to SRoMG, but I had been lazy and didn't feel like transcripting. Now, when I went to get the dates for the strips, I used the searcher from the Submit page and found the last one with the brown dog! Very nice call back.

2061: Garfield Margin Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip essentially takes the original Garfield strip and swaps the position of the legal lingo with the content of the strip proper; this makes the legal lingo prominent--distributor notice in the first panel (originally the lower part of the margin between the first two panels), the Garfield website's URL in the second panel (originally in the upper part of the margin between the first two panels), and the copyright notice in the third panel (originally in the margin between the latter two panels)--while the strip proper is squished into the margins at a rate of 1½ panels per margin. As the content of the strip proper is now illegible, it is unknown if any further edits were made to the strip proper before getting squished into the margins.
The Garfield website was still extant at the time this strip first ran on Square Root of Minus Garfield; it was shut down on June 19, 2020.

I've always had that weird and pointless thing about taking random pictures and saving them in microsoft's most restrictive formats. This is the first SRoMG strip saved in every bitmap format available by default on Windows 7, from top to bottom : 24 bits (no visible change from PNG as far as I can tell), 256 colours, 16 colours, and monochrome. I thought about doing it to more strips, but it ended up taking up too much space for the same result anyway.

2067: Choose Your Own Garfield Book 3: The Anti-Humour Equation!

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I tried to make all three alternative endings as unfunny as possible, although I'm afraid some humor sneaked into ending C due to the possible implication that Garfield was being sarcastic and actually wanted a trial in open court, so he could squash the judge, jury, prosecutor and various officers of the court with a rolled up newspaper.

Garfield: How's the wife and kids?
Spider: You squashed them yesterday!

B. Garfield: I would make a joke, but that would be unnecessarily mean-spirited.
C. Garfield: I can only hope he doesn't attempt to press charges against me.

2068: Banach-Tarskifield

==Explanation==
The title refers to the Banach–Tarski paradox, a theorem which states that, given certain conditions, one ball can be turned into two balls, each identical to the original. Here, the ball is a ball of yarn, apparently doubled via such a transformation, as Jon, the original source of the new ball, has been removed from the strip.
The author mentions a forum filter, a piece of software which has a list of strings to search input for and either stop the whole input or, as in this case, replace it with a different string. The most common use is to keep words considered bad from being posted publically; occasionally, a forum owner will set additional filters to keep mention of things he doesn't like off of his forum. In the author's anecdote, the filter was used for a joke; given the nature of the Banach–Tarski paradox, the owner made it so the forum's filter would produce two "Banach-Tarski"s from one. The resulting behavior of certain forumgoers was, shall we say, predictable.
==The author writes:==
One of the forums I hang out on used to have a filter that changed "Banach-Tarski" to "Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski", until people started abusing the quote feature for exponential growth.

2071: Meta-Mashupability

==Explanation==
This strip's author's notes, despite what they state about Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes, may very well have predicted some of the more common sources of remixes on what would eventually become iToons.
==The author writes:==
So how this idea came about is funny... I made a thread where I asked if there are other newspaper comics that would be able to receive the "Square Root of Minus" treatment, and it appears that this trait is quite unique to Garfield since several suggestions were somewhat more difficult to pull off. Peanuts is stated to have too many characters, Calvin and Hobbes has too complex artwork to easily execute ideas, while single-panel comics have little in a way of continuity. In addition to this, I discovered a link on DanielBT's blog on how Garfield is a very mashupable comic, which makes it very special since its several traits encourages creativity.
In summary, Garfield's combination of artwork that is simple to edit, familiarity in terms of characters and popularity, dialogue and structure independent of the the context, and structured layout makes it a very remixable comic. There could be more reasons Garfield is remixable, but these are the reasons I could think of.

2074: Catonball: Round Two

==Explanation==
Although the author stated that this strip was their first Square Root of Minus Garfield strip to be made, it was their third to run after 2047: Mad Photobomber and 2060: Overused Doooggg!.
==The author writes:==
Basically, I was looking at both Garfield and TV Tropes page for Square Root Of Minus Garfield and then I noticed 2 comics had a pool in them (and were very funny, of course), so I decided to make this for my first SRoMG strip via Gimp. I hope you all like it! Also, I used the bomb from SRoMG #298 for you trivia fans. To explain Garfield holding the Cat-onball in the second panel, he's been learning the ways of the Chopstick (and mastered it, much to Jon's dismay). Another bit of trivia is that the original strip I took the first two panels from was not originally pure white, so I had to fix it myself. It worked beautifully.
