4326: Kitty Delight

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
What do you get when you combine a heavily remixed strip with an in-comic running gag and add content from the mailbag section of Garfield Magazine, Winter 1993? Something that's at least a little funny, apparently.
Original strips: , .
==Transcript==
Garfield: "Dear Garfield, why don't you like the 'adorable' Nermal? He is adorable, you know."
{Nermal beams at this praise}
Garfield: I like Nermal sometimes
{Nermal claps his paws to his face in unbridled kitty delight}
Garfield: Mostly I like him to go away
{Nermal glares at the audience}

4328: Garfield Prepares To Eat The Earth

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Is this the stupidest strip of Square Root of Minus Garfield ever? Probably not*. Is this the stupidest strip of Square Root... I've ever inflicted on the world? I'm afraid I'll have to invoke my right against self-incrimination while pointing vaguely at the previous strips in this series.

==Explanation==

You can literally see the mailman growing older throughout the panels. He goes from a Lyman clone to looking like Dr. Wily. It's tempting to think that he started creating robots to take over the world because he was harassed by a cat while trying to earn money to fund his research.

4334: Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
About a decade before this strip edit's publication, way back when Square Root of Minus Garfield had not that many recurring source strips, a contributor going by the pseudonym MoonHitler created two comics featuring Garfield and Jon, in which they thought and spoke the former's name in the first one, and the latter's in the second, respectively. Nearly seven years later, an author named Farhan Malek submitted a strip based on the same one I used to make this one â€” but my idea never came to me until about a couple of years and a quarter later, and even then, I left this strip abandoned for a month and a half. I wonder why nobody else has ever thought of doing this?
Also, here's a replacement end panel that changes the punchline:
{alternate third panel} Jon {worried}: Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz? Liz: Betty Betty Betty Betty Betty Betty Betty Betty {Liz is probably called Betty now. Either that, or she's sarcastic while saying this}
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Jon and Liz are looking into each others' eyes and smiling. They're probably in some romantic mood, but that doesn't matter}
Jon: Liz... Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz Liz!

4335: Garfereum

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Ever wanted to own a Square Root of Minus Garfield strip? Well, now you can! I'm delighted to announce that, starting today, all strips on the site are now available to bid on for ownership.
Ownership, which grants the owner no special rights or control over the artwork, will be tracked using my new invention, Jon Funniness Tokens. Previous similar technologies have utilised the blockchain to guarantee an immutable, distributed record of a token's ownership. For maximum worldwide availability and resilience, Jon Funniness Tokens implement the same features without reliance on electronic hardware or software.
Specifically, when a purchaser takes ownership of a JFT, I will:
remember who it was (immutable); and
tell everyone I meet (distributed).
Many of you will be aware of a third important feature of the blockchain. I reproduce this in my solution thus:
every time I tell someone, I burn an acre of ancient woodland.
Bidding for today's strip starts at Â£10,000. And 20 euro cents.

Jon {pointing to a diagram}: Garfield, this is a diagram of the blockchain
Jon: You're here, and that's Genesis down there...

4336: What we hate 2

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I have to concur with Mr B Natural. This is among the laziest edits I've submitted.
And yet, even with how little was changed, my edit allows for two alternate interpretations, both of which are arguably funnier than the original:
#Garfield, having come to understand how Jon thinks over years of co-habitation, sarcastically predicts that Jon is going to poke fun at him. When Jon confirms that, yes, he has grown to despise Garfield's presence, Garfield, with sarcastic enthusiasm, exclaims, "Me too!" This is akin to a marital relationship, when one spouse will ask the other, "Am I as beautiful as I was on the day you married me?", knowing full well that the honest answer will be "no", and the question is asked in jest; the other is expected to respond "of course you are, honey," and both of them will feel content in their relationship. But then the spouse actually responds, "Heck, you aren't even as beautiful as your mom was on the day I married you," and gets a pillow upside the kisser. Note that in this interpretation, Garfield's pose in the second panel becomes not one of him putting his finger to his chin in thought, but rather him pointing his finger at himself, as a visual aid for an example of "cats".
#After decades of walking upright, eating human food, and telepathically communicating with humans, Garfield no longer thinks of himself as a cat. When Jon starts to express how much he's grown to detest felines - the veiled meaning being "I hate you" - this sails over Garfield's head, and he expresses a legitimate shared disdain for cats. He is surprised by this shared hatred, because Jon has, in the past, been quite welcoming towards cats (specifically, Nermal), but Garfield is glad that he and Jon have one more thing in common. This is akin to someone making a passive-aggressive comment intended to elicit a more desirable behavior in someone else, but that someone else is just too dense to get that they're what the first person is talking about.
That was probably too thorough of an explanation. Don't you hate it when someone comes up with a perfectly serviceable, concise comic that doesn't rely on a ton of words, and then ruins it by blabbing on and on about the subtlest intricacies of its humor, instead of just shutting up and letting people enjoy the joke? Yeah, me too.

4337: A Point For A Big Guy

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Having been on a recent archive binge, I eventually decided to try my hand at a submission.
This one was done by Google Translating the text from English, to Japanese, back to English, then to Russian, then back to English, then to Spanish, then finally back to English. I suspect that it would've been even more jumbled up if I went English-Japanese-Russian-Spanish-English, but even this result is more absurd than expected.
On a related note, I was tempted to translate the "Jim Davis" at the bottom. The former method left his name unaltered, while the latter would've yielded "Magnetic meters Davey 8 -5" and thus would've been hard to fit down there.

[Two independent submissions of the same strip. I've used DemiSport's title and transcript; Camwoodstock's title, transcript, and author's note follow. -Ed]
Sprung A Leak, Huh?
[jon is eating dinner] [garfield deflates] Jon: GARFIELD! SPEAK TO ME! [garfield doesn't speak. he deflated.]
For some reason, this strip amuses me to no end, for no reason. Especially with the (at the time of submitting â€” specifically mid-October 2020) recent edits on Twitter at @flatgarf where people superimpose its punchline onto other strips. I guess I'm just very easily amused by the prospect of Garfield just spontaneously deflating.

4340: Let's Talk About Stress, Baby

==Explanation==
Originally, Garfield thought "Me too", and what made Jon turn his head was a "Burrrrrrrrrrrrp". Here, Garfield actually talks as opposed to merely thinking and Jon understanding him anyway.
The title is a reference to the parody song of the same name, featured at the end of one episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy. The author's note is a line from the song.

4341: Begin Again: Jon Edition

==Explanation==
This strip takes the premise of 3191: Begin Again and extends it to the true origin of the Garfield mythos: the first strip of Garfield's predecessor strip, Jon. As such, this strip replaces the last panel of the original Garfield strip with the very first panel of Jon, showing that Garfield may have gone too far backward in time with his stunt.
==The author writes:==
After I saw the strip of when Garfield went too far to 1978, I thought I would make Garfield write on the calendar and go too far to 1976, showing the early prototype Garfield strip.
Original Jon strip: 1976-01-08.

434: Garfield Field

==Explanation==
==The author writes==
This plot is the net force at each point inside a strip caused by the gravity field of Garfield's pixels. The intensity of the pixels is directly proportional to the magnitude of the pull. The pull is strongest near the surface of each Garfield, and diminishes as you get near the centre (for the same reason that gravity goes to zero as you approach Earth's core). There are also neutral points between each Garfield where the pulls between the Garfields on either side are perfectly balanced.
