52: Plush Garfield

==Explanation==
Like #45 before it, this strip recreates its original strip using photography. This time, however, the author himself replaces one of the characters, namely, Jon. In the notes, he points out that comic strip characters typically have strange proportions, which we generally accept in context.
==The author writes:==
Trying to get these photos to match the comic makes you realise just how out of proportion typical comic strip characters are.

Jon: Where's the lasagna?</br>
Garfield: Resting comfortably.</br>
Jon: Where's the pan?</br>
Garfield: Resting not so comfortably.

5301: Gౡrfiⵥld

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
From SRoMG #559 "Pietfield":
:The program assumes ASCII, and that out(char) will output only the 8 lowest bits; if it outputs, say, Unicode codepoints, you'd get "G<TELEGU[sic] LETTER VOCALIC LL>rfi<TIFINAGH LETTER YAZZ>ld" out.
It's pronounced /ˈɡl̩ːɹ.fi.zˤld/.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Title panel: Gౡrfiⵥld sits in a pile of leaves with the letters of Gౡrfiⵥld on 8 leaves above him}
Phone: Beedle beedle beedle
{Liz answers the phone}
Jon {on the phone}: Hi, Liz. It's Jon
Liz: Hi, Jon
Jon {on the phone}: Liz, how'd you like to— ...in a minute, Gౡrfiⵥld
Jon {on the phone}: Anyway, Liz, how'd you like to go to—...yes, Gౡrfiⵥld, I'm well aware of the time. This will only take a minute
Jon {on the phone}: So, Liz, how'd you like to go out to the—...Gౡrfiⵥld!
Jon {on the phone}: I said in a minute!! Now leave me alone, and let me talk to Li—
Jon {on the phone}: Ow! Ow! Stop!! Those are my leg hairs!! OWWWW!!
Liz: Feed your cat, Jon
==Trivia==
*The transcript was initially incomplete, as it initially ended at the start of describing the second panel due to the system being broken by a music note emoji as included by the author; the author's note also misrendered the intended output of the Unicode codepoints to the point where it read "Grfild". Apart from the emoji in the submitted transcript, which was dropped in transition as the site's transcript system does not support emojis (even though it could have been worked around with a Unicode character, ♪), both issues have since been fixed.
*The subsequent strip would also see its transcript broken by an emoji as well. The two strips' combined incidents would be lampooned and exaggerated in iToons #749: Emoji of the Ci--.

5303: Lesbian Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
SRoMG #3661 flipped Frank's gender to preserve the original joke of the strip while making Garfield gay, so I decided that I'd try it the other way, with Garfield being the one reengendered. Interestingly, the Internet seems to have already designed a female Garfield (who is also goth, for some reason), so I used that pre-existing design as the basis for "Garlynde".
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Garlynde, who looks somewhat similar to famous cartoon orange cat Garfield but sports a funkier hairstyle and heavy dark eyeshadow, spots a cat}
Garlynde: There's one cute chicky-boo!
Garlynde: She could sharpen her claws on my hassock any time
Garlynde: I wonder if she'd like to go to the big caterwauling on Elm Street tonight
Frank: Well, hello there, Garlynde
Garlynde: Oh, hi, Frank

5304: A Mildly Obscure Reference, Done Rather Obtusely

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I was looking for the most obtuse possible way to make a reference to the song "Lesbian Seagull", by Tom Wilson Weinberg, and later covered by Englebert Humperdink for the soundtrack to Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, and came up with this.
For the unaware, "Lesbian Seagull" is actually based on a real life to-do centered on actual research; one of the consequences of overuse of DDT was a decline in male, but not female, seagull populations (DDT was fat-soluble, and all bird eggs contain a certain amount of fat, meaning that female seagulls were shedding more of their DDT dosage than males). This resulted in a population of "breeding pairs" of two female seagulls (with one or the other mating with an outside male, and then returning to the nest).

5307: Arsonist Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Garfield, Black Hat and Danish somehow share quite destructive tendencies, especially when it comes to setting things on fire.
Mimics xkcd #1014, and draws inspiration from SRoMG #377.
Original xkcd strip: 2012-02-08.
Original Square Root of Minus Garfield strip: 2010-05-31.
Original strips: , , , .
==Transcript==
{The strip alternates between Garfield panels and xkcd panels. In the first panel, Jon and Garfield are facing each other}
Jon: Garfield, you can be very destructive
[Megan stands in front of a projection on a screen and points with a stick to the picture shown of a blue car with yellow head lights standing on a gray road with green grass behind. She has an audience consisting of Cueball standing in front of Black Hat who is sitting and leaning back in a chair and Danish standing behind him]
Megan: Attention, please.
Megan: This is a photo of my car as of two weeks ago.
{Garfield holds a flaming torch}
[Zoom in on Megan only, still in front of the screen, but pointing on a new projection of the same car engulfed in red and yellow flames, with lots of black smoke above the flames.]
Megan: And this is my car as I found it this morning.
Megan: Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?
{Jon and Garfield sitting with their swapped foods}
Jon: Garfield, what's wrong with this picture?
[Zoom out to all four characters in a frame-less panel, seen from the side so the screen with the color picture is seen almost from the side. It is possible to see that there are colors on the screen but not what the picture looks like. All three respond to Megan, who is standing with her pointer down; Cueball now has his hands down, Black Hat still sits straight, and Danish now has a hand to her chin.]
Cueball: The white balance, for one.
Danish: Focus is a bit too close.
Black Hat: The chromatic aberration suggests you bought your camera because it had "the most megapixels".
{Jon and Garfield are sitting in front of a lit fireplace}
Jon: Garfield, you make a lovely fire
Garfield: I do make a lovely fire
[Zoom in on Megan only, who violently swishes her pointing stick up towards the screen behind her (off panel). The other three are outside the panel to the right, and two of them makes comments. It is not possible to say which of the three speaks.]
Megan: The car is on fire!
Off panel voice 1: Maybe you should use the insurance money to get a better camera.
Off panel voice 2: Yeah.

5309: Garfield plus truly overly accurate calendar

==Explanation==
This strip "corrects" a perceived mistake from 4944: Garfield plus overly accurate calendar, by shading in the last two days on the calendar so that it properly appears to depict a 31-day month. Whether the calendar in this strip can be seen as accurate by 2004 standards depends on how one perceives the calendar; as was the case in 4944, it would appear to be correct from a Monday-to-Sunday perspective but not from a Sunday-to-Saturday one (December 1 was a Wednesday in 2004).
==The author writes:==
After strip No. 4944 left me sorely disappointed with its claim to accuracy, but not truly being accurate, I had to take it into my own hands to make it truly accurate.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Garfield is looking at the calendar}
Garfield: Calendars... they hurry all year long
Garfield: —Until December
Garfield: Then they MOSEY!
==Trivia==
This strip ran exactly a year after the strip this strip is perceived as attempting to correct.

5310: Garfield Large and In Barge

==Explanation==
Garfield Large and In Charge, which the strip title is a pun of, is the 45th book of Garfield strips, spanning from April 18, 2004 to November 13, 2004. The strip itself is untouched, but is now captioned to say "My Hobby: Snowman headhunting." This is a reference to the "My Hobby" series on xkcd, in which "Cueball" apparently had some hobby or another that often seems designed to confuse, annoy, or terrify onlookers in some clever way. This seems perfect for Garfield.
The "Barge" refers to the xkcd comic "Barge", which is itself part of the "My Hobby" series. It is the source of every letter used in the strip's caption.
==The author writes:==
I promise there's a connection with the last word in the title, if tenuous.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Jon is on the phone, and you know what that means. Well, okay, he's not pursuing a date. Or ordering food. Or talking to his mother... You know what? Let's listen in}
Jon: I'm very sorry, sir. Please apologize to little Timmy for me. It won't happen again
{Ah, an empty promise. It's not like he has much power to keep Garfield from doing things that hurt or annoy him, much less anyone else. Nevertheless, he stands at the door and looks out}
Jon: Oh, Garfield
{Garfield is standing on the front stoop and smiling. Behind him is a pile of snow shaped into spheroids and decorated with carrots and bits of coal}

There is no intended deeper meaning to this.

At least one of these statements is true.

5316: Ask an internet question...

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This is a very quickly and sloppily put-together strip, but I'm tired right now so that's as good as it's going to be. Lyman's response here is supposed to be absurd, but the joke isn't meant to be about his pronunciation* so much as it is about the nature of the argument (and the discussion which surrounds it) in the first place. Essentially - each letter in 'gif' can, in other contexts, represent the phonemes Lyman is using - so it's like the old 'ghoti' for 'fish' gag, just extended to a slightly greater degree of absurdity and brought up-to-date for the age of the IPA and the internet.
If you're not familiar with the idiom, 'Ask a [x] question, get a [x] answer', that's what the title is about. An 'internet' question would elicit an equally 'internet' answer, and that's (supposed to be) what's on display here. Questions and answers on the internet being famously relevant, reasonable, and helpful. Of course.**
And that is today's essay-length*** explanation of a joke edit of a newspaper comic strip
*I feel like I had to explain that, because otherwise someone with a very specific level of knowledge of phonetics might***** come along and read the strip as meaning 'haha, that man talks strangely, which is funny to me, specifically because I am a bad person who is only amused by making fun of others', and that's not what it's supposed to be. Lyman is doing something I do, often, to amuse myself, and that is finding ways to deliberately mispronounce words while still technically reading what's been written.
**sarcasm
***hyperbole
****There is no fourth footnote reference, and yet here's a fourth footnote! How did that happen?
*****Read: will, definitely, because this is the internet and that's just what people do here

Odie: gɪf {which for those of you who do not read IPA, can be rendered in conventional English spelling approximately 'Giff'}
Garfield: ʤɪf {which is approximately 'Jiff'}
Lyman: ɦɨ:ʍ {which is approximately 'Ghyywhf'}
{Jon is standing exactly where he was, only now his mouth is closed and his face is slightly scrunched, muppet-style, to indicate his disapproval and consternation}

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I saw #1227 and thought it made the original strip funnier, but I decided to take it up a notch or two.
First, I removed the borders to make it one long strip, as it makes no sense for it to just be the standard format. Then I tweaked both Jon's dialogue to simplify it and closed his eyes so the punchline of Garfield being taped up much to Jon's (and Odie's) obliviousness works more.
Does this make things work more? I think it does.

5325: the answer to 768

:Note: This article's title is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is 5325: the answer to #768.
----
==Explanation==
As the strip's title states, this strip essentially shows the solution to the puzzle posed in 768: Yecch!.
It is unknown how long this strip took to get through the queue, but it is highly unlikely to be the twelve and a half years implied by the editor's note; that time period more accurately describes the time period between the publishing of #768 and this strip. The author's notes proper state that the author used Paint on Windows 10, the latter of which was first available in late July 2015; by that point in time (and assuming the author's recollection is indeed correct), this very wiki's article about #768 had already been written, complete with solution. This strip's author may have been unaware this wiki even existed, thus justifying the creation of this strip; Nyperold nonetheless chewed out the author in a topic on the Irregular Webcomic! forums over not knowing the solution had long already been available.
==The author writes:==
This took me a while to figure out. also, it took me a while to do in paint on Windows 10.
