4763: Jon Dylan

==Explanation==

The Electric Arbuckle controversy... in 2013. But did Jon actually hear Garfield's accusation... or did the author of this edit merely can the idea of making someone yell at Jon offscreen after finding it too much of an effort? Hmm...

4764: Standard Unit of Stupidity

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I have long struggled to find a reference unit of stupidity in the field of ideas for SRoMG strips. I think I may have come up with a good candidate for the position here. The unit I will call "Quayles", for no adequately explained reason most definitely not related to Sid Meier's Civilization in any way. (I hasten to add, I'm open to alternate suggestions for naming such a unit, aside from "Odies", which, while deprecated, are still being used to measure Dog stupidity, or "Lubafs", which I believe are better used as a unit for measuring dumb Internet aliases.)
It should be added that the Quayle is intended as a measure of stupidity in the concept of the strip, rather than any flaws in the execution.
Whether this unit can be readily converted to iToons is a question I leave up to the reader.
For reference, here are a selection of ten of my own strips, measured against this Reference Quayle, in chronological order:
Strip #	Strip Title 	# of Quayles
627 	Garfield Minus Any Kind of Artistic Talent	0.1 Quayles
1353 	Donut Wars, Continued 	2.7 Quayles
1312 	Dumbfield instead of Darkfield 	1.7 Quayles
1425 	Garfield Minus Enthusiasm 	0.5 Quayles
1764 	Baby It's Cold Inside 	3.4 Quayles
1773 	Is Everything Better With Monkeys? 	1.8 Quayles

4765: My Name Is Doog

==Explanation==
In the original, we weren't shown Garfield's thoughts in the second panel. In the original's final panel, the dog and Garfield's exchange implied that the misspelling was due to the sign being cheap; here, it's revealed that the dog's name is Doog, possibly short for Douglas, a la Doogie Howser, M.D..
==The author writes:==
When I first saw this strip, I immediately thought of a new angle on it: What if the dog's name was Doog?

4768: Garfield plus remorse

==Explanation==
The dialogue of the comic has been changed to have Jon say that the dog next door passed away. The first panel from the original comic is restored to give Garfield his dialogue back, and the final panel shows Garfield shedding a tear instead of looking happy about the dog's death like he did in the original edit.
==The author writes:==
I saw SRoMG #2430, and like the author said, I felt like it appeared Jon and Garfield were happy about the death of someone's beloved pet. So I replaced the final panel with one of Garfield shedding a tear, and the first panel with that of the original comic, as I feel having Garfield talking adds to the comic.

4770: How Will You Be Able To Tell?

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Yeah, I dunno, Garfield, I think you could kind of tell...
Side note, this entire debacle was inspired by seeing those three panels of Jon from the strip of Garfield cleaning the window (1993-09-12). I do not know what inspired me to go this route, I honestly don't, and if this does not get published, I will understand, but at the end of the day, I spent several hours making this. That is all I can confidently say.

4772: How Jon Cursing Ended Up as Background Art in Garfield Gets Real

==Explanation==
This strip is essentially a dramatization as to how a filthy Easter egg in the direct-to-video feature Garfield Gets Real potentially came to be. This Cracked article (NSFW) explains said filthy Easter egg in detail, including a clear version of the filthy edited Garfield comic--an edited version of the 2005-06-26 original strip that would have not looked out of place on Square Root of Minus Garfield if it weren't for Square Root of Minus Garfield's family-friendly scope--that got used in the Easter egg. The Easter egg is apparently not clear enough to have much of an impact on various services that offer it, and it bears family-friendly ratings of U in Britain and G in Australia; Garfield Gets Real is not rated by the United States's MPAA, is presented as G-rated on The Roku Channel, and is presented as TV-G on Tubi, with neither Roku nor Tubi having appeared to have censored the Easter egg. It is unknown whether any actual background designers' careers were ruined by the presence of this Easter egg.
Garfield Gets Real itself is notable for bringing together the cast, production, and visual elements that would eventually manifest as The Garfield Show, although The Garfield Show does not share continuity with the direct-to-video films, including Garfield Gets Real, that preceded it.
==The author writes:==
Yes, this is really a thing. Except that in Garfield Gets Real, it's completely uncensored. That's right, Jon cursing up a storm is now canon. This is the only rational explanation.

4775: Beware of the Cynic

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I always found it hilarious that in the original strip Garfield is apparently horrified by ancient Greek drama. Given that the word "cynic" derives from the Greek word κυνικός ("dog-like"), I thought it would be fitting to use a quote attributed to Diogenes, the most famous of the Cynic philosophers. It seems to have raised some unpleasant memories for Garfield, though.

4776: Mean-Spirited Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip is itself a spoof on Strip 4479. The original order of Jon's lines and poses is utilized, but Garfield's smiling face from the 2017-11-15 strip is pasted into the third panel so that he appears to take delight in Jon's misery.
==The author writes:==
My first submission for this webcomic.
I basically took the punchline of the original strip and combined it with #4479 to make Garfield look more like a jerk. It's amazing what a simple change of inflection can do.

4777: Maxfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Barring extremely unforeseen circumstances, Kate Bush's nearly 37-year-old single "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" will be reaching #1 in the UK for the first time later today, so I decided to mark the occasion by modifying the Garfield strip from its original release date, 5th August 1985.
I'm pretty sure the 44-year gap between Kate's two UK #1 hits is a record. I'm not sure the 7-year gap between this and the SRoMG strip based on "Wuthering Heights" is a record.

4781: Garfbird

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
As soon as I saw SRoMG #4241 I had this idea, and I could've sworn it was done before but a rudimentary search didn't turn anything up. At first I tried making the bird look a little better, but then I realized I couldn't be bothered putting in that much effort for a joke that's about lazy art in the first place. So now I'll claim it's simply meta, and was my idea the whole time, like a good author.

{There is a bird(?) in the distance, rendered as simply an M like many cartoons do, which Garfield calls out to (with aim to eat)}
Garfield: Come closer!
{The bird(?) gets slightly closer, but no detail is added}
Garfield: Closer!
{The bird is now right in front of Garfield, and yet still is rendered as a simple black M. Obviously, Garfield can't eat a letter (or, at least, it wouldn't be very satisfying) so he's pretty disappointed}

4783: Godrefield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Inspired by William Burke's series of drawings about Gorefield (and its subsequent adaptation into a series of videos about a supposed lost Garfield horror video game), and also inspired by the Zalgo Garfield series, I decided to create my own Godrefield horror strip; this name is the fusion of the words "god" (not the God of the bible, but a god of evil), "gore" and "Garfield". It took me some time to create this strip, but I think the end result was worth it.
(Note: I used the final scene from the TV special Garfield: His Nine Lives because in that same scene God-Garfield reveals himself to be a Garfield's self by showing cat eyes, and above all because instead of saying "They have to stay together, you know" he says "WE have to STICK together, you know.")

4784: That's 150 Minnows

==Explanation==
In the original, the announcer on the television interrupted the show for a word from their sponsor. While this would normally mean that the sponsor would advertise their good or service, in this case, the use of "a" is more literal, as the sponsor only says "sasquatch".
In this edit, the announcer tells us it's time for Tuna Hour, presumably a 60-minute (minus commercials) show about tuna. But then, the announcer says that tuna half hours would be longer. While a half hour is only 30 minutes, "tuna half hours" is a pun on "two-and-a-half hours". The title itself makes a pun using the name of another fish, the minnow, as it sounds like "minute", the word for one-sixtieth of an hour.
==The author writes:==
Original strip: .

TV: Well, folks, it's time once again for Tuna Hour

it had this caption:
"The appearance of the characters gradually changed over time.[17] The left panel is taken from the March 7, 1980 strip; the right is from the July 6, 1990 strip."
the two panels appear to be intended to compare the art from two years, but you could also look at it like a two panel strip.

==Trivia==
The link to the reference labeled as [17] on the Garfield Wikipedia page actually led to reference #17 at the time the strip first ran; the link on the Square Root of Minus Garfield strip page no longer works as intended due to said reference being reference #9 as of February 2024 (it would read as [9] were the author's notes to reflect that positioning). As the author's notes still read with the original reference to reference #17, it still reads as portrayed, but the link on this wiki has been reworked to reach the intended reference. A permanent link to the reference as originally portrayed can be seen here on a permanent copy of the revision of the Wikipedia page current as of when this strip first ran.
