319: Garfield Epic 2

:This article's title is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is 319: Garfield Epic #2.
----
==Explanation==
Following up on #315, this one takes some of the panels not used in that one.
==The author writes:==
I condensed one of the longest 4-week Garfield stories into three separate comics. The second one is more violent, and has shades of Fight Club involving Binky the Clown.

Woman: He's not rabid or anything is he?
Girl: Oh no! He's not rabid!
Girl: Dolly! Where did your face go?!
Odie: GASP!
Girl: It's overrun by mercenary guerrillas!
Girl: OVER MY DEAD BODY!

Jon: I would have never thought to look there.
Garfield: Then what were you?...

31: Garfield in Wonderland

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield is fully there, so Jon's query is because a grin like that on Garfield can only mean trouble.
Here, we see nothing of him but his grin. This refers to the Cheshire Cat from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, who is famous for partial disappearance, often leaving nothing but a grin. Such a thing happening in reality would certainly warrant a reaction like Jon's.
The author offers up an alternative title that would leave nothing but the "G" (assuming the nonstandard notation of characters right next to each other being added together rather than multiplied; perhaps an alternative to the alternative would be "Garfield Divided By Arfield"), probably for "grin".
==The author writes:==
Alternative title: "Garfield Minus Arfield."

I had to correct Michael's atrocious organization; all of his letters were out of alphabetical order. Also he kept sticking punctuation in his transcript that wasn't in the comic. People need to pay more attention to these things.

3202: Key: GARFIELD

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I was surprised to see that there apparently weren't already more simple ciphers in the comic - or maybe they just didn't use the same words I did in my search filter. Hopefully, this is the first VigenÃ¨re cipher comic on the site. Luckily for me, there happened to also be a Garfield strip about secret messages. Feel free to research the cipher type on your own and try to decode this, since you have the solution readily available to check against, or just use this handy tool to quickly do that for you instead*.
All code is divided into four letter segments - that is one of the most traditional ways to present a code string. This has no relevance to the actual length of the words - "I like lasagna" would be written "ILIK ELAS AGNA" even though "lasagna" is much more than four letters long. The strings of extra Zs at the end of some sentences are just filler letters to keep up the 4 letter divides, so don't worry if you notice some nonsense at the end of a phrase.
*[Ed: Note that each line is translated individually - the dialogue does not form one continuous ciphertext.]

3204: Cat Pushups

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
When I saw this strip, my immediate thought was, "Is Garfield just laying there motionless for minutes or hours, then just saying 'Cat push-ups' at a random time, then keeping on lying there?" I can't tell if this is too many beat panels, or if it's still not enough to make the joke clear. Which means it's probably the perfect amount.

3205: Cats' Eyes

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
In that nether realm between sleep and wakefulness on a morning where I had no urgency in actually getting out of bed, the thought came to me unbidden:
"Garfield's eyes don't look like real cats' eyes..."
This was disturbing enough that it preoccupied my mind for the next three hours. Until I did this.
Now I think I may be even more disturbed.

Jon: C'mon, aren't we sick of ordering pizza every night?
Jon: Uh-oh...

3206: A Little Sandwich

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Garfield was just finished making a little sandwich, he was just about to put the piece of cheese on top, when he turns his head around and sees somebody across the street, then gets angry and points at somebody and tells him/her to get away from his pastrami.
Here, he has a bunch of Garfields, one who looks at the other, telling somebody to get away from his pastrami, one who is upside-down raising a finger, one with a cheese and a hand, one who is looking at the other one with it's eyes looking up, one who is upside-down too with two pieces of cheese, one who looks at the reader, unimpressed, one who is pointing at the other one, one upside-down looking at the reader with a happy expression, one who is upside-down looking confused, one who is angry at the other looking shocked, one who's a little amused, one with fingers pointing up, one who is googly-eyed, one upside-down with a piece of cheese on his hand, looking angry, one upside-down who is also angry, one who is angry at the other who's googly-eyed, one who points at Grafield, getting shocked, one upside-down with hands pointing left and right, one looking at the reader, looking shy, and one at the end of the comic strip border. They are all making a very massive sandwich.

3207: Table of the Dead

==Explanation==
The author used the four panels from , , , and , and made this comic. Jon is now seeing spiders squashed in various ways, and gets scared when he comes across a big spider.
==The author writes:==
Out of all the spider strips, these are those I found that have this in common. Garfield sure has a way of presenting his achievements.

3208: The Voices

3209: Garfield 2057 Calendar

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
For Christmas 2016 I got this Garfield calendar, which is nifty and has reruns of 2013 strips (minus Sundays due to a merge of Saturdays and Sundays, and that's as far as I know). Anyhow, I wasn't expecting to really recognize too many strips.
Oh, how foolish I was. This was today's strip. I knew what I had to do.
P.S. Before anyone asks, yes, I know it's 2053, not 2057. I shouldn't have to explain myself further than that, though, lest I kill the joke.

320: The End of the Universe II: The Big Rip

==Explanation==
The only significant difference between this strip and the original is that each panel is larger than the one before.
In #312, the author dealt with one ultimate fate of the universe; here, the author deals with another. Here, the universe will eventually tear itself apart in its expansion.
Interesting to note: In #312, Garfield uses the prevention of the heat death of the universe as a justification for sloth, while in this one, as in the original, Garfield takes the possibility that the universe is expanding as an excuse to indulge in gluttony.
==The author writes:==
Big Rip. 
It seems Garfield forgot to take into account that donuts are expanding too. Or maybe he tries to forget that he is about to be ripped apart... 
Original: .
==Transcript==
Jon: Some people think the universe is constantly expanding.
{second panel expands}
Garfield: All right!
{third panel expands more}
Garfield: Room for another donut!

3210: Calzonal marking

==Explanation==
Since this strip's debut, Kevin Lasagna has since been loaned to Hellas Verona, transferred to that team outright, loaned to Turkish side Fatih Karagümrük, and as of this writing is on loan to Bari; the workings of the loan to Bari include an option for it to become an outright transfer if certain conditions are met, much like how he eventually transferred to Hellas Verona.
==The author writes:==
Yes, Italian association football team Udinese have a striker called Kevin Lasagna.
He scores whenever he's pasta ball.
He got angry and scythed down an opponent inside the box with a vicious two-footer. He lost his ragu and it was a clear pennelty.
He's introduced a more physical, attacking style of play to football broadcasting. Tacklier telly.
Etc.

3211: B

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This is one of those SRoMGs that won't make a lick of sense without an explanation, so here I go.
A while back, an issue of GAMES Magazine (I'd like to say exactly which one, but it doesn't seem to be in my collection any more) contained a multi-topic quiz. One section of the quiz featured a series of newspaper comic dialogue transcripts with the characters' names stripped out and replaced with letters; the quiz-taker's task was to guess what comic was being quoted and which character each letter represented based on the dialogue.
Naturally, not only was Garfield one of the comics chosen for the quiz, but the strip they transcribed was the very one I've used as the base for this SRoMG. (I remember it well because it's the only one I managed to get, although I think one of the others was Dilbert.) I've replaced Jon and Garfield with A and B in exactly the way the quiz did, although the transcripts in the quiz didn't include actions or scene descriptions, nor did they include the throwaway panels (which explains why B is first mentioned before A is).
Fun fact: I needed to find new image editing software in order to make this edit, since every editor I've used so far either stopped working right or didn't have the features I needed (or both). You'd think finding such software for Mac OS would be easier. The fact that I'm submitting this SRoMG on Christmas Day is no coincidence, since I used a gift card I got for Christmas to pay the upgrade-to-full-version fee for a good image editing program I found on the App Store.

A: When I left this room, there was a hamburger on this plate
A: When I returned, all that was left was this pickle chip
A: Now, I have my suspicions, but I don't want to jump to any hasty conclusions
A: So tell me... what should I do?
B: You could leave the room again so I could take care of that pickle chip

3212: Emojifield: Jon's Birthday Gift

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I like The Emoji Movie, although all humans say that it was the most 'terrible' movie of all time, and I just knew that this movie was released on Jon's 67th birthday! So, it was fun to see Jon meeting these emoji on his birthday and it's better if Liz was also there, too!

Hi-5: Please come to the cinemas with us to watch our new movie, The Emoji Movie tonight! Don't forget to bring Liz together! It's not easy being meh, okay?
Gene Meh: Happy birthday, Jon Arbuckle!

3213: What A Luser

==Explanation==
First things first: This was originally a Sunday strip. The original story was one in which Jon was drinking a root beer, but Garfield made a funny face, causing him to snort root beer through his nose. The description of what it felt like drove Garfield away from his meal.
This strip uses only panels 3, 2, and 7, the latter two being left unaltered. The new first panel's dialogue is altered to a pun between root beer and the UNIX term root, meaning the first account that has total access to the operating system and its configuration, found at the root of the directory structure. Since one doesn't want just anyone being able to access these things, only the root account has permission. Thus, root beer preventing access to anyone without the permission to drink it.
==The author writes:==
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Garfield and Jon are eating when Jon addresses Garfield, briefly gaining his attention}
Jon: Hey, Garfield, one time I tried to drink a root beer, but I didn't have permission!
{Garfield goes back to eating, trying not to dignify that with a response}
Jon: Hee, hee, hee
{Jon breaks into further giggles, and Garfield can stand no more. He walks away, sickened}

3214: Negative Continuity

3215: Sorry, Guys, But You Can't Just Laugh Hysterically At Every Stupid Thing And Assume It's Funny. The Big Bang Theory This Is Not. You Brought This Upon Yourselves.

== Explanation ==
This edit intertwines three different strips, each of which were within the same story arc: 
*In the first strip, Jon and Garfield both begin laughing hysterically after the former asks the latter if he saved room for dessert.
*In the second, they are joined by the waiter after a brief pause.
*In the third, Jon and Garfield have returned home, and the latter is reprimanded for eating another table's food.
Here, the first two strips are mashed together, both relatively unchanged. The third strip, however, only has the final panel present, and Jon's dialogue is rewritten to have him state that they were barred from the restaurant for life for their outburst.
The unusually long title is a jab at The Big Bang Theory, which, despite critical acclaim, has also seen derision for, among other things, its perceived lack of humor in general.
== The author writes ==
I made this while in a bad mood, if you couldn't tell.
Original strips: , , .
== Transcript ==
{Jon and Garfield are at a restaurant; their plates are empty, Garfield's cheeks are stuffed with food}
Jon: So, Garfield, did you save room for dessert?
{Jon and Garfield look at each other in wide-eyed shock, because apparently that one question was the most mind-breaking, Earth-shattering question of all time}
{Jon and Garfield start violently laughing, because either that one question was the funniest thing ever of all time, or comedy is now dead}
{Suddenly, waiter}
{The waiter looks at them while Jon and Garfield have stupid grins on their faces, as if prodding the waiter to take part in their nonsense}
{Cut to Jon and Garfield back at home, Jon looking depressed}
Jon: I still say being banned for life because of that was excessive. 
{Count your lucky stars I chose to go soft on you guys in this strip, Jon. The alternate ending sees you and Garfield getting arrested.}

3217: GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!

==Explanation==
This strip takes the original Dilbert strip and switches out the soccer ball in favor of Odie from the cited Garfield strip. 
The author's notes explain the premise behind the strip's title, and also reveals the presence of a Dilbert character having the same name as one from Garfield.
==The author writes:==
Apparently, Garfield isn't the only one who likes kicking Odie. I guess all of that abuse from Garfield enabled him to be used as the ball in some demented game of football/soccer (name depends on if you are from the USA or not). Why the SPCA hasn't been called on her yet is a mystery.
The title is from the way announcers in Latin America announce a goal. If you haven't heard it like this, here's an example.
Oddly enough, Dilbert's girlfriend in the 90s was named Liz as well.
Original Dilbert strip: 1994-06-17.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Liz kicks Odie off of Dilbert's head, past the goalie, and into the football/soccer goal}
SFX: BONK
{Dilbert lies face down on the field and the goalie glares at Liz as she celebrates the goal}
Dilbert: Gee, I've scored five goals that way.
Liz: You've got a good head for this game.
==Trivia==
The link to the original Dilbert strip no longer works as originally intended due to the Dilbert site being restructured after that strip was dropped by its syndicate amidst its cartoonist's controversies.

3218: The Cat Continuum

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
(inhale)
So, I saw this strip, and for the longest while, I had a stupid idea: What was Jim trying to do here? Did he just pick a name for a talking cat that sounded vaguely familiar? Or was he trying to make a reference and just stumbled on some Critical Research Failure? I don't know, could just be me. For some reason, "talking cat" just points to Tom.
They do talk sometimes though.
And I saw the movie, and it sucks. The direct to video ones are better.
Anyone willing to take the inverse option is completely welcome.
