4540: Trademark Favorite Pun

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield didn't specify countries of origin, spent the second panel looking at Odie, and gave the answer as "You get a stupid cat."
In this edit, Garfield makes the dog Tibetan and the cat Japanese. This sets up for the new second panel: a picture of a Lhasa Apso -- a Tibetan dog breed -- with the Japanese onomatopoeia for the standard cat sound, "nya", below. The title is a reference to the trope Trademark Favorite Food, cluing us in that the answer is "Lhasa nya", or "lasagna".

4543: let's get lazier!!

==Explanation==
This strip is part of an effort of intentional lazy edits designed to lampoon lazy edits; as such, it takes 4415: More Worserer and replaces Jon and Garfield in the latter two panels with MS Paint-drawn caricatures. Despite the author's intent, this strip appears to have put in more effort than the author of #4415 did, as even MS Paint-drawn caricatures takes a sizable amount of effort to implement; as such, this branch of the intentional lazy-edit trend ended here, as the next efforts in the trend, 4576: Taking Lazy To The Next Level and 4704: One-downsmanship, would be direct follow-ups of 4160: One Even Better/Worse as strip #4415 had been (and 5520: Take It To The Limit One More Time would also even further down the road).

4545: The Man of Many Shirts

4546: Snaketie

==Explanation==
This strip takes a panel from a Garfield strip and uses it to punchline the setup of a Dilbert strip. It implies that Jon managed to pick up a Tanzanian necktie snake and attempted to wear it as if it were an actual tie.
The author's notes imply that they could only find Garfield strips smaller than Dilbert strips (the latter of which were more readily available at the time of submission than as of this writing, see the Trivia section below). Not knowing when this strip was created or submitted, they may not have known about the strip archive once hosted on garfield.com, and even if they knew that strip archive had been taken down in the middle of 2020, they may also not have known that the Garfield wiki on Fandom preserved that version of the strip (it can be seen here--that version of the strip is 355 pixels in height including white space, compared to the 307 pixel height of the output of the Dilbert strip used in this strip with white space cropped. This implies they used an archive with smaller strips than the former garfield.com version; at the time this strip first ran, the source links Square Root of Minus Garfield used were to the now-busted unsecured "images.ucomics.com" domain, with the original Garfield strip being 177 pixels in height including whitespace (that version of the strip is still available through a secure-domain mirror), and the version mainly made available on GoComics, the current source of the links of SRoMG credits, uses a 265-pixel height including whitespace, both versions of which would need to be blown up to match the height of the Dilbert strip used.
==The author writes:==
Thus illustrating the danger of buying clothes from the op-shop.
Unfortunately, the only Garfield strips I can find are smaller than the Dilbert strips. They looked disparate next to each other unchanged, so I decided to blow up the Garfield strip rather than shrink the Dilbert strip.
Original Dilbert strip: 1991-05-10.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Dogbert: Mister Garbage Man, do you know why Dilbert's neckties curl up?
Garbage Man: It could be a Tanzanian necktie snake in one of its clever disguises.
Garbage Man: They'll stalk you for years, then suddenly - ACK!!
{Meanwhile...}
Jon: This isn't a tie! It's a snake!
==Trivia==
The author did not provide a link to the Dilbert strip used for this strip. Even if they had, said link would have likely gone dead in the early parts of 2023 after Dilbert's author fell into heavy controversy, with Dilbert being dropped by its syndicate as a result.

4550: Four Those Keeping Count

==Explanation==
This strip expands the premise of removing references to the webcomic Garfield Minus Garfield started in 3986: No Credit Where Credit is Due by portraying a section of Square Root of Minus Garfield's own archive page with 128: Garfield Minus (Garfield Minus Garfield) removed. The links are red to show that the links have been viewed; unviewed links on Square Root of Minus Garfield would be blue.
At the time of submission, the author of #3986 was credited as "ncrecc"; that author has since changed their handle to "Wibi".
==The author writes:==
I didn't think there was a way to one-up ncrecc's fiendishly clever strip, until I found one myself.

4552: Googlefield Part 1

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
So, I was browsing through SRoMG, and I saw #2146, and this idea popped up in my tiny lil' brain, so I went to Google Translate, translated the transcript of 1998-06-08 from English to German and Italian, and back to English, and the result is, almost the same, I must say*. But I'm not disappointed.
[*I suspect that for short, plain, fairly unambiguous texts such as Garfield strips, machine translation is probably getting too good for this sort of thing to bear zany fruit any more. -Ed]

==Transcript==
{It's been quite a night for Jon. He'd finally gotten to go on a date with Ellen after years of calling her on the phone and begging for a night out with her... except that she didn't remember who he was. Then he spotted Liz at the very same restaurant, out with another guy with a very large chin. He disguised himself as a waiter and snuck over to see what was going on, and from there Liz revealed to her date that she liked Jon. So Liz's date hooked up with Ellen, and Jon went out with Liz. And Garfield came along, too, for some reason. Now he and Liz are holding hands, in some nondescript location, with Garfield staring boredly at them}
Liz: I had a wonderful time tonight, Jon
Jon: So did I. And it's my birthday, too
{What are the odds?}
Liz: Well, happy birthday!

4554: Your Opinion Doesn't Matter

==Explanation==
This strip and its corresponding author's notes appears to be a parody of public service announcements taking a jab at the concept of people having opinions. The strip itself has Jon making a jab at the users of the light modes of devices and web sites, implying that those devices' and web sites' dark modes are superior; Garfield turns Jon's thinking around and implies Jon is the one that sucks. The author's notes take a jab at both pineapple and anchoives on pizza, at various fandoms including the unexpected older male fandom of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, genres of music, and people who don't eat meat or even animal-derived products.
==The author writes:==
This also applies to people who complain about pizza toppings they don't like (eg pineapple, anchovies), furries/bronies/other fandoms, specific music genres and/or vegetarians/vegans. Among other things, probably.
This has been a public service announcement.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==

Garfield: Has it ever occurred to you, Jon, that maybe you suck?

This strip was reran roughly two months later as strip #4617.

4556: Me at anime exhibition

==Explanation==
Contrary to the intended premise implied by both title and author's notes, Touhou Project is a series of video games which, as of this writing, has never had an official anime adaptation. Touhou presence at anime conventions would usually involve either the games themselves, as the games are typically distributed through anime conventions, or their manga adaptations. The author also misspells every visibly-facing instance of the word "otaku", ironically only spelling it correctly in the link to its Wikipedia article.
==The author writes:==
An anime exhibition is a kind of very very big party of okatus, where some of the okatus cosplay anime girls and some other of the okatus sell their re-creations of animes while the others just watch and buy. (If you don't know what "okatu", "cosplay", or "anime" mean, welcome to the 21st century, pal!)
Reisen Udongein Inaba is a 2D girl who comes from Touhou Project.
Don't ask me why the heck Jon goes to an anime exhibition with a list and a cart. You know, don't you?

4558: GoComics glitch

==Explanation==
As this strip's title implies, this strip is a showcase of a glitch on the GoComics site that affected a strip's presentation; this glitch was presumably the result of automation elements gone awry, and was never intended by Jim Davis and/or his assistants. This glitched strip affects the strip dated 2004-03-09, as linked to in the author's notes proper, by overlaying the black-and-white elements of the previous day's strip over the non-black-and-white elements of that day's strip, creating a difficult-to-follow mess. The presentation on the former garfield.com site was unaffected (that version has been preserved on the Garfield wiki on Fandom here), and the strip as presented in Garfield Goes Bananas: His 44th Book is presumably also unaffected.
At the time this strip first ran on Square Root of Minus Garfield, the original strip links pointed to the now-busted unsecured "images.ucomics.com" domain, where the 2004-03-09 strip was unaffected by this glitch (its secure-domain mirror, including the strips for both 2004-03-08 and 2004-03-09, is still functional, and 2004-03-09 is still unaffected); the original strip links were shifted to the main GoComics presentations, including the (as of this writing) still-busted original 2004-03-09 strip, some time after the "images.ucomics.com" domain busted.

4560: Mangafield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Sherlock Bones is a manga series starring a dog (confusingly not named after the series but called Sherdog) who is the reincarnation of the great detective in canine form. He is able to communicate telepathically with his owner (who he believes to be the reincarnation of Watson) when sucking on an old wooden pipe which used to belong to the real human Sherlock Holmes. Perhaps something similar explains why Jon sometimes seems to be reacting to Garfield's thoughts.

This strip's title was hit by a mojibake error in a later site recoding effort.

4572: Rule 34G Double Feature

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Rule 34G: if it exists, no matter how obscure or ill-fitting it is, a Square Root of Minus Garfield comic will reference it.
And so, to keep the cycle moving, here are two more!
The first comic references World of Goo, a physics-based puzzle game where you guide Goo Balls to pipes that lead to the World of Goo Corporation. There, they build a tower up into the sky. World of Goo Corporation has a few slogans, among them "You can't stop progress", which is how I came up with the idea for the comic.
The second comic references Realm of the Mad God, a top-down pseudo-3D permadeath bullet hell MMO (what a mouthful!) where characters leave behind graves on death. What the grave looks like depends on the number of stats the character has maxed, up to 8. In this case, Garfield looks to have maxed all his stats. That's rough, to die like that!
Do you recognize one of these references? Both? Neither?

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Garfield's striped sweater bears an uncanny resemblance to Charlie Brown's sweater, which in turn bears an uncanny resemblance to fashion designer Michael Bastian's $995 cashmere sweater. To complete the luxury experience, Garfield is also drinking kopi luwak, the most expensive coffee in the world. With the commercial success Jim Davis has enjoyed, there's lost opportunities here.

Garfield: You know why we like Michael Bastian so much? The guy's not afraid to have a little fun with his inspiration.
