5076: Garfield Minus Sarcasm

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Like Michael Jacoby, I have a misprinted copy of The Eleventh Garfield Fat Cat 3-Pack. Once, I assumed the missing word was "no" rather than "code".
At any rate, the joke is pretty self-explanatory.

5077: Nyperold's Toaster Repair and Teacup Color Maintenance Service

==Explanation==
In the original, the toaster's lever didn't go up when the toast ejected. More aesthetically, the teacup used to get the angle right changed color in the garfield.com version of the strip. This strip fixes both.
The editor's note replaces ", linked in the Original Strip field below", pursuant to changes to garfield.com. Additionally, the parentheses below are brackets on the Square Root of Minus Garfield page, but are parentheses here because brackets would interact with the encoding on SROMG Explained in an unintended way.
==The author writes:==
NOTE: The strip used to make this strip came from the garfield.com version (archived in this Tumblr post) -Ed. The ucomics.com version has different coloring on the wall, the stripes on Jon's pajama shirt, and, most relevantly, the teacup in the second panel. It still has the issue with the toaster lever, however.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Mixing the memes together is fun!
Preview of next episode: Linus Garfield Linus.
[Ed note: I mentioned that I couldn't make this scan according to the traditional 5-7-5 syllable pattern of Anglophone haiku; Reisen U. Inaba explained that unlike me but like most Americans they pronounce "our" as two syllables, /ˈˈaʊ(ə)r/, but were kind enough to supply this alternate version for the dialectally challenged:]
Grafield: Hello, I'm a cat Garfield: Your name? Grafield: Grafield Garfield: Wait right here Garfield: Call our lawyer here

Grafield: Hello, I'm a cat
Garfield: Your name?

==Trivia==
The author made note of the title "Linus Garfield Linus" as a future idea mashing-up Square Root of Minus Garfield running gags. A strip by that title already existed as iToons #54 from more than seven years earlier.

5087: Liztrot

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I check in on a week's worth of Garfield for the first time in forever and I'm hit with a wall of LAME.
Foxtrot took care of all the "woman inflicts tofu on a household" jokes way back in the '90s. This adds nothing besides a mildly amusing app name. Does Liz seriously think Garfield will approve of tofu? Does any reader? Is this a thing among millennials or zoomers, where people presume to add apps to their significant others' phones? The writer seriously couldn't come up with anything wackier for the second or third panels?
Original Foxtrot strip: 2021-07-11.

5088: Odie Ramone

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Directly inspired by the 200-piece Garfield puzzle seen in an LGR Thrifts video, this time Jon is hanging up a painting of the Ramones on the wall. Garfield still remains the sole witness to Odie's reality-warping powers.
Shoddily finished "Ramones" text on the painting based on the "Glad To See You Go" single cover, Ramones drawing itself taken from the front cover of the Garfield puzzle box as seen in the video.

5097: Subterranean Homesick Garfield

==Explanation==
Here, Garfield obeys the sign saying "DON'T WALK ON THE GRASS" by walking in the grass, rather than on top of the grass, similar to how wall-clipping works in 2D platformers. 
The transcript notes that no dirt is visible beneath the grass. This is similar to how grass is depicted in games like Super Mario Bros. 3.
The title plays on the title of the song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" by Bob Dylan, or possibly "Subterranean Homesick Alien" by Radiohead. Here, Garfield is indeed subterranean.

5098: Garfield plus Memories

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I was playing around with removing the 'speech' from the beat panel, and stumbled across this joke. I've included, as a 'bonus' of sorts, the other three versions of the remix that I did in the process of making this one.
I'd actually found this strip and meant to make an edit of it before SRoMG #4753 came out, but then forgot about it. When I saw that edit, I remembered the ideas I'd had for this one.
You can see in the other versions that I was originally going to play more with the 'infinite loop' potential of the strip, but then I realised that the 'beat' panel line could also be used as an anti-punch-line. And then, by changing a visual detail, it could be made into an actual punch line! That's pretty nifty, I thought.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Garfield: My memory isn't what it used to be. Sometimes I forget things...
{silent beat}
Garfield: However, on the other hand...
{Garfield's eyes have now gone wide with some kind of shock or revelation, implying that he has remembered something that he had not expected to}

5099: Garfield Numerosity 5

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Based on a Numerosity segment from Sesame Street, it counts five different sets of features.
In the original version of "The Song of Five", Beautiful Day Monster, Thudge, Grover, Flute Snatcher, and Snerk appear breaking a window, making a man exclaim "Five... whatever they are". This was axed in the official YouTube release due to it being too scary. In this version, Garfield sees the four nightmare monsters from 1986-07-21 and the Nightmare Knight from Cucumber Quest.

509: Imaginary Garfield: Bath Time

==Explanation==
Another in the series of strips in which Garfield does not actually exist but Jon pretends he does, and therefore all of Garfield's thoughts actually originate with him, this time, Jon has decided to give his cat a bath. Having prepared a real tub of real soap and real water -- one wonders what he ends up doing with it, since he's not actually bathing a cat, either way -- he, knowing that his imaginary cat will not want to take a bath, he imagines him sneaking around and hiding in an attempt to avoid it. He must also maintain the pretense that he doesn't know where his cat "is", even though his imagination does.
==The author writes:==
Maintaining the fiction that Jon has a cat can be hard work.

50: Reversed Garfield

== Explanation ==
Since SRoMG strip #25 was actually almost logical and somewhat funny in its result, this strip repeats that strip's gimmick and title with a result that results in something more illogical and stranger. Similarly, the author's commentary has its sentences placed in reverse.
== The author writes: ==
That way, the result is even stranger. Only I did it with four lines instead of three. It's just like the first "Reversed Garfield."

5100: Garfield's Hot Take, Pt. 2

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Yes, yes, I know that's Lyman giving a hot take, and not Garfield. Roll with it for the time being.
Before anybody accuses me of not getting the movie, I will note that Screenrants did state that some contemporary viewers at the time were confused, as they were expecting to see a historical drama and instead got a slapstick comedy. Of course, it did also draw some negative reviews from the press as well when it first came out, although it was nowhere near as controversial as Life of Brian.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: What movie did you go see last night?
Lyman: It was called "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
Lyman: It made no sense. In the final scene, police showed up out of nowhere. And it just ended. No credits.

Jon: Not much of a plot, is it?

5102: Xorfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Xor (exclusive or) is a logical operation that returns true only when both of its inputs are different. It has the interesting property that it works as a sort of digital one-time pad: if you use xor to combine n files bit-by-bit (bitwise), you can combine the resulting file with n-1 of its sources to get the one missing source.
You can also get cool results by applying bitwise xor to image data - large blocks of colour mostly maintain their structure, but anything complex becomes a mass of brightly coloured noise. This image is the seven similar Garfield strips from the last week of October 2022 all xor'ed together after being converted into raw rgb samples with ImageMagick. Or is it?

5105: A Surprise Guest

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Ah, Wade Duck. Good old, paranoid, afraid-of-his-own-shadow Wade Duck. A major character from one of the Holy Creator James Robert Davis' non-Garfield strips known as U.S. Acres, better known for featuring the "friends" from Garfield and Friends, and voiced by the late, great Howard Morris. When I first saw this strip, I noticed a tabby cat wearing Wade's trademark inner tube, the Wade Duck life preserver, if you will (to quote a GoComics commenter), and the pool using an inverted version of said pattern. I figured, why not replace that cat with the Duck himself, just for giggles?
