==Transcript==
Garfield {running on the table, carrying a bone}: I've stolen Odie's bone!
Garfield: It's all mine!
Garfield {stops running, disgusted}: And boy, is this disgusting!
Text: I used to be best friends with Odie. We would chase each other, ride bikes, and chew on bone.
One day, I asked him for his bone, but he refused! He said it was his most prized possession!
So I went up to his house late at night when he was sleeping. I snatched his bone and ran away before he could wake up! Before I got too far away, Odie woke up and yelled out "What's happening?" But it was too late! His bone is all mines and boy is it disgustingly giant.
Text: It was my first day as a dog. All I could think about was eating, sleeping and peeing everywhere. I really wanted that bone, but that dog Odie just wouldn't give it to me. So I took it, fair and square!
"How dare you!" barked Odie. "I'll get you for this."
"You can't prove anything," I said to the angry pup. "Only humans can talk in words."
Odie didn't know what to make of this, so he just growled and trolled away in search of his bone.

513: Garfield (Rescued Chilean) Miners Garfield

==Explanation==
In this installment of the "constantly changing" edit (which, by this point, was already fast approaching oversaturation), the middle panel is replaced with a picture of the 33 Chilean workers who, exactly one day before this strip was published, were rescued from a cave-in that trapped them in a mine in early August. (The admins specifically moved it up in the buffer so that it would still be timely, though the author clearly didn't intend for it to be so.) Garfield's last line is also altered, making the strip a PSA of sorts for workplace safety.
The author's notes also make mention of a quote from The Wizard of Oz, delivered by the Coroner (a Munchkin, of course) who examines the corpse of the Wicked Witch of the East (who has been crushed by Dorothy's falling house). It is slightly misquoted - the original line used feminine pronouns (i.e. "she's really most sincerely dead"), but in this case it's understandable.
==The author writes:==
Okay, the "Garfield [sounds like minus] Garfield" meme is "not only merely dead, but really most sincerely dead" (to quote a Munchkin). But after the extended media event that was the rescue one-by-one of the Trapped Chilean Miners, this still had to be done (with a shout out to improving mine safety so this doesn't have to happen again). I know that, with the massive backlog of contributions, this will probably not appear until the Chilean Mine Not-Really-A-Disaster is mostly forgotten, but if something like this had been done when the mine first caved in over 2 months ago, it would be emerging at about the same time. :-)
Admin note: This submission was so timely and appropriate, I made a special exception and inserted it into the queue in place of another strip. (This is a very rare exception - it takes a lot of work to mess with the buffer queue.)

5140: Fat Cat

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
As a college student, Jeff Kinney (author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series) wrote a comic called Igdoof, published in The Diamondback from 1992 to 1993. In one comic detailing different cartoon genres, he calls this a "professional example" of "The Gag Strip".
:The ever-popular gag strip is actually formulaic in nature. The three elements are:
:#Setting establishment
:#Joke setup
:#Punchline
:("thinking animal" - important for gag strips)
In the years since this has come out, I don't think Garfield has ever actually done this joke. It feels more like a Peanuts joke to me.
Even almost 30 years ago, people were commenting on how repetitive Garfield had gotten. I have to wonder what Kinney thinks of it now, but I feel like he wouldn't have a problem with it, considering Wimpy Kid also hasn't been good since 2013 and yet has no end in sight.

5145: Garfield: His 1 Life

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
1. "We all miss you, Garfield" is a lie. Jon once regarded his pets as he might regard children. Now that it's obvious that he's stuck in some ironic hell where he doesn't grow a single gray hair over 40 years, and coherent, continuous events occur less and less often, he's grown apathetic toward the other things that can't die. Garfield's death would most likely result in a sense that this prison cannot hold him forever.
2. This is how Garfield should canonically end. Another strip of Garfield lazing about declaring how he's larger than life, followed by the revelation that his brain functions have finally ceased. No funeral, no arc where Lyman takes back the dog, no exploration of the lives of Frank the man who was maimed by Garfield and was cruelly reincarnated as a cat just to be flirted with by his killer a month later (an introspection on how little it means to be human and how the notion of karma exists to perpetuate a can-do attitude), just the fall that Garfield's pride befits.
3. There are probably several dozen strips you can do this to. Requirements: Panel 1, Garfield says something while lying down lifelessly, Panel 2, beat. Panel 3 doesn't matter. Bonus points if Garfield says something arrogant in Panel 1, 3x point multiplier if it's this strip in particular, +10,000 points if you spell "GARFIELD" by hitting the letters in the middle of the playing field in that order, etc.

5148: Letter-averaged Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The lettering of Garfield strips has evolved subtly over the years. I first noticed this when trying to mix and match text across "eras" for my own SRoMG submissions, and I thought it'd be interesting to visualize, which I've finally gotten around to.
I threw together a program that takes all non-Sunday Garfield strips up to 2020-07-22, detects the letters in them using a character recognition tool, and color-averages each letter per year (discarding outliers because OCR isn't perfect).
I'm really happy with the result because the letter shapes came out very clear and, though uniform at first glance, their lineup allows for some interesting insights: for example, note the change in width of the E, the change in shape of the Y, the apparent switch from hand-lettering to a computer font around 2012, some symbols being wonky due to sparse data and OCR mistakes, and the general distinction between the "70s", "80s", "90s" and "2000s" styles. I'm sure there are many more observations to be made.
You could conceivably turn this into a font (or ideally multiple, one to match each art style), barring kerning and cleanup. I won't be the one to do it, but I can provide the individual letter images if needed.

5150: Just Look At That Gorgeous Girl-field

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon was definitely looking at a sunset, indicating that the beautiful sky, colored by the sun, was about to give way to night, and more tellingly, that Garfield woke up in the evening rather than the morning, as was his first guess.
In this edit, Jon is probably looking at the lovely visage of Sunset Shimmer, villain of the first My Little Pony: Equestria Girls movie; given a chance to be friends with the human versions of Twilight Sparkle's best friends, she had to work through the mistrust of the rest of the school in Rainbow Rocks, and was finally the central hero of Friendship Games. She was chosen for this edit because of her name.
The image of her was taken from Rainbow Rocks, from a scene in which the Rainbooms -- a band formed by the other five -- are practicing a song, with her in mid-clap.
The title is a play on 230: Just Look At That Gorgeous Garfield.

5155: Invisible Doughnuts

==Explanation==
In the original strip, there were two donuts on Garfield's plate, while Jon's plate had nothing but what Garfield claimed were "invisible doughnuts". The author simply moved the donuts to Jon's plate and changed Garfield's dialogue accordingly.
==The author writes:==
I actually made this strip back when garfield.com was still a thing, but never got around to submitting until now. (And yes, it has been a really long time since my last submission.)
As you can see, I love a good joke reversal. Although as that transcript suggests, is Garfield still just messing with Jon, or are there now actually invisible doughnuts that he's not sharing? (Come to think of it, maybe there really were invisible doughnuts on Jon's plate in the original strip...)
