2315: Wise Decision

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
And televised sci-fi was never the same.
Trekkies may notice that Riker is wearing his insignia on the wrong side. Clearly, he was so excited about his decision that he put his uniform on wrong when he jumped out of bed. Or he's being mind-controlled again.
Garfield's reaction is a different shade of funny in this new context. Jonathan Frakes's beard arguably did alter the course of his character's life, and Garfield's response is still the very feline "I don't care, go away, I want to sleep."
Alternate, spoilery titles considered: It's The Beard, Stupid; What an Enterprising Fellow; and of course, Make It So.
Both Riker screenshots are snagged from trekcore.com and property of Paramount. Here's one with the Beard of Take Me Seriously.
And since we haven't linked to TVTropes much recently: Growing The Beard.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Riker: GARFIELD! WAKE UP!
Riker: I've made a decision that could alter the course of my whole life
Riker: I have decided to grow a beard
Garfield: I suppose I could blame this on Monday
==Trivia==
The link reading "Here's one" no longer works as originally intended due to trekcore.com reworking its gallery system.

2316: Garfield's Love Life

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield was showcasing his world (the joke being that he didn't have much of a world to show, presumably). In this edit, however, the context is changed to imply that he has no luck in dating, and resorts to masturbation as a result.
==The author writes:==

2317: Liz 4 Dinner

==Explanation==
The easy part of this edit was to swap the positions of "dinner" and "Liz" in the sentence. The less easy part -- probably -- was replacing Liz with the background, removing her from the strip... at least as we know her. The intent is to make it seem as though Jon is cooking Liz rather than for Liz... and having just as much trouble as with a normal meal. Given this, Jon would definitely be breaking up with her, as opposed to merely trying to make a nice meal with Garfield implying that she won't want to stay his girlfriend after experiencing his cooking.
==The author writes:==
Given how easy this is and how long ago by submission time, I'm shocked I haven't already seen it up on the website by now.
And I think the answer to Garfield's first question in this version is an obvious 'yes', to say nothing of the fact that he doesn't seem to care.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: I'm gonna cook Liz for dinner tonight!</br>
Garfield: Is this your way of breaking up with her?</br>
Jon (offscreen): Baking powder...that's basically baking soda, right?</br>
Garfield: Go for it.</br>
Jon (offscreen): Huh...the butter is crispy. Is that normal?</br>
Garfield: In a comic strip, yes.</br>
Jon (offscreen): I wonder if I should've added the eggs in before I put it in the oven.</br>
Garfield: Does the oven have an "undo" button?</br>
Jon (offscreen): Okay, where's the fire extinguisher?</br>
Garfield: Right where you left it the last time you cooked.</br>
(There is a horrifying mess in the cooking tray)</br>
Jon: I am so, so sorry.</br>
Garfield: Jon's smart enough to feel disappointed in himself, but too dense to do anything right.

2318: To Serve

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
OK, I admit it, this one is pretty sick. But I blame that Twilight Zone episode. But you know Garfield isn't squeamish when it comes to food.
(Ed: Man, something about these last two strips has made me real hungry...)

{Garfield is reading a book titled To Serve Man.}
Jon: May I have my book back, please?
Garfield: Sure
{Garfield holds the book up, revealing that he was concealing food from our point of view in the previous panels}
Garfield: Just don't ask "Where's Liz?"

231: Garfield Minas Tirith

==Explanation==
Another pun on "Garfield Minus Garfield" -- this time, it involves Garfield perched atop Minas Tirith, a locale featured in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth writings. More specifically, the photo was taken from Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Return of the King, the final book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Such a comic had been referenced by Manyhills two months prior in "Garfield Minas Garfield" (which did something similar to the same original strip), which is what the description here is referencing.
==The author writes:==
As it was asked for, so it has been delivered.
Comic images taken from Garfield Minas Garfield. Rest taken from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Directed by Peter Jackson).

2320: Detente Flowers

==Explanation==
The only change done to the strip is that the second and third panels have been swapped, with Jon added to the latter panel.
==The author writes:==
Strip #2190 notes that 2003-04-12 can have its first two panels rearranged and still make sense and be humorous. I note that in fact a further rearrangement is possible which I personally find more humorous. In fact there are 3! or 6 possible arrangements of panels, four of which make sense. While I could have simply shuffled the panels I feel I owe it to the dedicated SRoMG fanbase to at least have tweaked this submission slightly.

2321: Video Gamefield

==Explanation==
The author makes reference to 462: Garfield Plus Beats in the Beat Panel, in which he put three video game characters into a single panel. Here, he edited the dialogue so every word and thought balloon contains a video game reference. Most are video game titles (Amnesia, Cool Spot, and Dark Cloud), but one is a bit of dialogue ("What you say?") from the intro to Zero Wing, a game mainly known for the broken English of the intro, which many people were exposed to via the "All Your Base" Flash video.
==The author writes:==
Hey, remember when I put three video game references in one mashup? I've upped the ante. (Though technically, one could be considered an advertising reference, given that the game was named after the product's mascot.)
(Also, I'm not stuffing them all in the same panel.)

2323: Single Orange Cat

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Single White Female is a thriller where a woman named Allie gets a new, mentally troubled roommate named "Hedy." Over the course of the movie, "Hedy" starts to copy Allie's clothing, hairstyle, and mannerisms. Allie learns that Hedy isn't her real name and that she has been impersonating Allie to various people. In the end, Hedy kills Allie's fiancÃ© and tries to kill Allie.
"Grafield" is clearly on obsessed stalker in the same mold. He's gone to great lengths to emulate the appearance, mannerisms, and even name of the object of his obsession. His stilted, awkward speech and fixed grin are a sure clue that he's a mentally disturbed shut-in who has gone for quite a while without any contact with the outside world beyond Garfield comics and episodes of Garfield and Friends playing on an endless loop in the basement of his neglectful owners. Most worryingly, "Grafield" has broken into the Arbuckle home uninvited, probably with the intent of killing Garfield and replacing him, possibly while wearing his skin as a suit.
Given these facts, I decided to edit the original strip so Garfield responds in a more realistic way to this terrifying intruder. You have to admire Garfield's ability to play it cool and stall for time while he's actually more scared than he's ever been in his life.
Celebrity has a price, Garfield.

2324: Grandpa

==Explanation==
This strip is essentially "Garfield Plagiarizes Calvin and Hobbes" in all but name, transplanting a wholesale Calvin and Hobbes strip onto a Garfield strip base. Jon is the one speaking Calvin's lines, while Garfield speaks Hobbes's line.
Within the context of the Garfield mythos, it is presumed Jon and Garfield are talking about Jon's maternal grandfather, a character as yet unmentioned in the canonical Garfield mythos, due to the strip's final line bringing up the speaker's mother (Jon's mother being a recurring character in the Garfield mythos) being the one looking into nursing homes. Grandpa Arbuckle from A Garfield Christmas is Jon's paternal grandfather and established to be deceased, and is thus presumed not the person Jon and Garfield were talking about.
==The author writes:==
Original Calvin & Hobbes: 1987-11-11.

==Transcript==
Jon: Grandpa says the comics were a lot better years ago when newspapers printed them bigger.
Jon: He says comics now are just a bunch of Xeroxed talking heads because there's no space to tell a decent story or to show any action.
Jon: He thinks people should write to their newspapers and complain.
Garfield: Your grandpa takes the funnies pretty seriously.
Jon: Yeah, mom's looking into nursing homes.

2332: Garfield Plus Jägerdraught

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
As soon as I saw Jon in this strip, I immediately thought of the JÃ¤gers from the webcomic Girl Genius. For those unaware, the short version is that they're warriors in the service of a mad scientist family, transformed into monsters by drinking a special potion. They speak with an accent and are oddly coloured, hence these changes.

2333: He'll be smelting iron to pigs any minute now

==Explanation==
This comic alters Garfield's original ranting to become an altered version of the Konami code - up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A. Since its invention in 1986, the code has become an in-joke among video game fans - and thus, it's referenced in the video game-themed 2012 Disney film Wreck-It Ralph (wherein one character uses it as a password, keyed in on a giant NES controller).
The title is a reference to the anti-piracy system of Settlers III, which instead of preventing play upon detecting an illegal copy changed the output of the iron smelter to produce pigs instead of iron bars. This prevented the player from making weapons and recruiting soldiers, rendering most scenarios unwinnable.
==The author writes:==
For those that expect a long-winded, scientific explanation, you're out of luck. I'm just going to say this, even if I'm very late to the punch: Go watch Wreck-It Ralph. It's a sweet movie.

2335: Dialogue Contest

==Explanation==
This strip, combined with the later 2351: Dialogue Contest - Result, lampoons comic strip contests by erasing the dialogue in the middle panel of the original Garfield strip and announcing a dialogue-writing contest in the space at the bottom of the strip, challenging potential entrants to fill in the bubble in hopes that their entry would be the one to run at a later date. Despite the implications that the "contest" portrayed in this strip to be fake (the deadline as stated in this strip being in line with the original Garfield strip's run date, #2351 eventually revealed the "winning" dialogue to be that from the original Garfield strip, and the credited "winner" was presumably fictional), people indeed took stabs at making "entries" in this forum thread.

2336: Spider in Red

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strips, Garfield stared at an ornament and smiled at it. Garfield turns to the reader and said he looked good in red. The second original strip has a spider staring at an ornament with its reflection on it and smiles at it. 
Here, the spider looks at the ornament with its red reflection on it and the spider makes a large grin. The spider said it looks good in red.
