3700: Garfield with Balloons

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This Garfield print was auctioned by Sotheby's of London, selling for a record price of Â£1,042,000. These photos of the artwork were captured immediately after the gavel fell for the successful new owner.
The still images do not quite do it justice, so here is a video:
==Transcript==
{a print of a Garfield artwork, in which Garfield is seen holding a quintet of helium balloons}
{the print descends into a shredder, and is reduced to shreds}
==Trivia==
*The video in the author's notes is embedded on the strip's page on Square Root of Minus Garfield itself; this wiki's code does not support embedding, so the author's notes were slightly modified for presentation on this wiki to include a link to the video.
*This strip's author's notes were hit with a mojibake error in a later site recoding effort; the original author's notes unaffected by mojibake are currently lost to the public due to this.

3702: Linguistics with Liz: Graphic Fiction Double Feature

==Explanation==
This strip takes the setup of "Linguistics with Liz" and applies it to memorable gibberish from two other comic strips, Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County; this essentially acknowledges Liz's second line in the original Garfield strip to be gibberish. The gibberish itself became Liz's second line in each strip, with Jon's second line in each strip revealing what each piece of gibberish was originally passed off as and Garfield's line revealing the original speaker of the gibberish.
==The author writes:==
Thought that I'd use Redgreen's template from #3269. The nature of the original strip reminded me of two similar gibberish-driven gags, one from Calvin and Hobbes and one from Bloom County. I couldn't decide which I liked better, so I went with both.
Original Calvin and Hobbes: 1995-01-09.

3704: Linguistics with Liz: Radishes of Our Ancient Forbearers

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
A paleolinguistic twist on an old, old meme. Garfield is quite the philologist, I gather. Also, cuneiform is a writing system, not a language (the text is in Akkadian). This is because Jon must be is subconsciously aware that he is in a comic strip and is seeing rather than hearing words. Also because it's funnier to write "ð’€œð’‹«ð’ð’ŠŒð’‡»" than it is to write "AD.TA BU.UG.LU."

==Explanation==

3713: Paws for Thought

==Explanation==
In the first panel, Garfield's thought bubble, about starting the week with an inspirational thought, was removed. The original last panel, containing Garfield frantically waving his arms and calling for the death of Monday, was replaced with a copy of this edit of the first panel. So here, he just seems to be calmly and quietly thinking, only moving to put a finger to his chin before withdrawing it.
The title uses "Paws" as a pun on "Pause".

3714: Garfield The Cynic

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The 1980s sure were a different time. The original joke in this comic has been completely torpedoed for a cynical health rant by our titular cat, so now this reads like something you'd see on a modern day webcomic penned by a pre-health or science major with an axe to grind - no visual gag and nary a punchline, just Garfield walking and talking. Which is funny, I guess, if you're into that sort of thing.

3717: RhythmField

==Explanation==
Despite the linked statement implying a Nintendo Switch installment of Rhythm Heaven was incoming, the most recent game in the series as of this writing remains 2015's Rhythm Heaven Megamix on 3DS.
==The author writes:==
Hold on to your ambitions, Jon.
The writing is from Rhythm Heaven, with lyrics from the minigame Karate Man Returns. I thought this was kind of funny because the original strip had Jon saying "Hey baby, what's happenin'?" and it immediately made me think of RH. Also, it's to celebrate that RH might come to Nintendo Switch extremely soon, as revealed by the producer, TSUNKU, on Twitter.

In the original 2003 strip, the "mega-home entertainment theatre" was worthy of the name; here, it's been replaced with the old TV from the 1989 strip, plugged into the outlet from the 1997 strip which originally powered a Christmas tree. Gone also is the full-capacity surge protector, itself having been originally plugged into a 4-outlet box.

3721: Garfield Content Aware Scale

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I've been having this idea to apply the content aware scale meme, often seen in YouTube videos, to Garfield strips. I once thought of having the appropriate strips be content aware scaled to the appropriate ratios (50th strip would be scaled to the golden ratio, 25th strip to the silver ratio, 8th strip to the bronze ratio). But when I tested them, they didn't produce visually interesting results, so I tried the Sunday strips, as they have more content than dailies, and would thus have a more interesting appearance when distorted accordingly.
Original strips: , , .
==Transcript==
Strip 1:
{The whole strip is compressed and distorted to fit the bronze ratio}
{Garfield is sulking}
Garfield: Poor m
Garfield: Sigh...a vici...bru...dog has moved ...ome...
{Odie comes happily panting toward Garfield}
{The cat briefly closes his eyes and grabs Odie by the throat}
SFX: GRAB!
{Garfield slaps Odie across the face multiple times}
SFX: WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP
{As Garfield briefly becomes even fatter than his 1978 self, he dribbles Odie like a basketball}
SFX: DRIBB...BBLE
{Garfield finally kicks Odie far away, into another part of the Arbuckle abode}
SFX: PUNT
Garfield {walking away as his face partially disappears}: How will...ever survive?
Strip 2:
{This one is compressed and distorted to the dimensions of the silver ratio}
{There's a major snowstorm happening outside, with winds strong enough to tilt the Arbuckle house slightly}
{Lyman puts on a green coat and a blue hat}
Lyman {in a panel with barely enough room for him and his speech bubble}: Here, Odie!
{Lyman happily attaches a leash to Odie's collar, as the dog remains merrily unaware}
{Lyman is about to exit the front door and into the snowy weather as Jon sits down in a purple robe and smoking a pipe (remember that this is late 1978, early in the comic's run)}
Jon: Isn't it a little cold to take Odie for a walk?
Lyman: Nonsense
{Sometime later, how much isn't exactly clear (a few seconds or minutes, maybe? I don't know.), a sullen Lyman re-enters the house with Odie petrified from the cold weather, much to Jon's surprise}
Strip 3:
{This last one is compressed and distorted to fit the most famous of the metallic means, the golden ratio}
{Garfield is holding some stuff in his mouth}
{Garfield spits out a tennis ball, with enough force to have the onomatopoeia slightly break through the panel borders}
Garfield: PTOOEY!
{First two panels as before}
Garfield: PTOOEY!
{The first two panels again}
Garfield: PTOOEY!
{It's revealed in a wide shot that Jon is practicing tennis and using Garfield as a sort of tennis ball machine, with the cat grabbing a ball from a nearby basket and stuffing them in his mouth}
Jon: Okay, Garfield. Now give me some high lobs
{And the strip ends, as we, the audience, figure out just what Jon meant by "high lobs"; is it some kind of tennis vernacular? Or something else...?}

3722: lazygarfield

==Explanation==
This strip takes the concept of laziness as told in the original Garfield strip (although perhaps better told via the later 3849: Laziness IS contagious) and exaggerates the core setup of the strip. The narrative of this strip is Garfield calling out to Jim Davis in vain over the strip's setup, only to imply that Jim had somehow died at his work station pressing a copy-paste button.
Although this strip was not meant to be a serious take on the subject, comic artists dying at their work stations is, in fact, truth in television; Johnny Hart of B.C. and The Wizard of Id fame, for example, was reported to have actually died at his work station.
==The author writes:==

3728: Orange-Yellow Colorblindness

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield said, "Oh, that's okay" in the second panel. In this edit, he questions Jon's eyesight. The title suggests that Jon has a form of colorblindness that prevents him from distinguishing between orange and yellow, the main hair colors of Garfield and Odie, respectively. Between the transcript and the author's note, the rest is explained adequately.
==The author writes:==
The original comic was better published in black-and-white, I'm sure, where it wasn't blindingly obvious that that's Odie's paw. If you didn't have it memorized that Odie is yellow and Garfield is orange, and had a newspaper that only printed in color on Sundays, you might only realize Jon should have known if you remember seeing Odie in a Sunday comic back in September. And it'd be another 11 days after this strip's original comic before he'd show up in another Sunday comic.
But now you see them colorized, and, well...

3729: NESfield Revisited

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Inspired by #3577. Gotta get on this bandwagon before it runs off the road.
Garfield and Odie taken from #21 and edited (combining two Odie sprites and tweaking one Garfield sprite so theyâ€™d have the right expressions); sun taken from Super Mario Bros. 3; background pixel-drawn from scratch. I did the whole thing at 1/4 size so I could be sure the sprites would line up properly.

372: Manga Garfield

==Explanation==
This is the only part of the author's "Manga Garfield" trilogy to be published in the correct sequence; 749: Manga Garfield 3: Black Humour was intended to be part two and 458: Manga Garfield 2 - The End was intended to be part three, but ended up published in the opposite order.
==The author writes:==
This is a combination of the first Garfield strip, and the first two pages of the Manga, What's Michael? by Makoto Kobayashi. Very telling, especially since What's Michael? is often referred to as the Japanese Garfield.
If the images don't look familiar, it's because it's one of several stories that were left out when Dark Horse picked up the license. I was only aware of it because an earlier English publication showed it. Unfortunately, I can't remember who published it, save that it had an introduction by Cat Yronwode. AnimeNewsNetwork and even Wikipedia have no clues as to who published What's Michael? first, but there is some information here.
