42: 36×10 Garfield

==Explanation==
It's hard to add to what the author has said, but he has taken a strip about Garfield wondering what to do this week when a startling bark from Odie makes the decision for him, to a mass of pixels that you may not even realize is a Garfield strip unless someone tells you. But once you do know, you can make out Garfield on the ground next to a tree in the first panel, maybe you can tell that's Odie sticking his head out from behind it in the second, and Garfield hanging from a branch in the third. You still couldn't tell what Garfield was thinking unless you read the original or someone told you, but that's just the amazing thing about Jason Rohrer's games, that they fit such detail into a space the size of a forum avatar.
==The author writes:==
Jason Rohrer's video games, Passage and Gravitation have a unique art style to them - the game area is only 100 pixels wide and about as many pixels high. The player characters of these games are only 8 pixels high and 8 pixels wide.
Within these limitations, and without the use of text to provide context, each pixel becomes vitally important in portraying detail and form.
The above Garfield strip is simply the comic image for 1982-06-07, reduced to 6.25% of its original size. It's only through the framing of this image as a Garfield strip do you instantly recognise the 12 orange and black pixels in panel 1 as Garfield the cat sitting upright, and as the mess of grey pixels above him as his thought bubble. That luxury of context isn't afforded to Rohrer's games - and it's thus quite admirable that he is able to portray his games' elements unambiguously.
Another aspect that the above Garfield strip can only hint at are the beautiful ways that Rohrer animates his games. The background pixels fluctuate and fade between various shades of colours as they transition from, say, snow to grass. The resulting effect adds a degree of vibrancy and liveliness to his games' otherwise constrained images.

4303: The Smartest and/or Stupidest SRoMG Strip You'll Probably Read Today

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
In honor of all those TV shows about "smart" people that boil down to the above.
As to the title: like SchrÃ¶dinger's famous cat, this strip is either simultaneously the smartest and stupidest strip of Square Root of Minus Garfield Ever, or it's just a bunch of boring old nonsense that's only of interest because of an inherent contradiction or ambiguity in our definitions (in today's case, our definition of "smart" and "stupid"; in SchrÃ¶dinger's case, "superposition" and "observation").
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Garfield: I am so smart!
Jon: Let's go do something stupid!
Garfield: Sorry, but no
Garfield: I'm already committed to being smart today.
==Trivia==
This strip's author's notes were hit by 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.

4304: Waste time with a Garfterpiece

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Upon reading Arlene's first line in the original, my mind immediately went to the chorus of "Cake By The Ocean" by DNCE (a very R-rated song, hence why I didn't go any further with the lyrics). It's a song I'm sure Garfield would love, albeit in the literal way and not the metaphorical way as intended.

4305: Sensationalism

==Explanation==
The 1974-04-25 Gnorm Gnat strip itself can be read here; however, it does not include the extra newspaper bit referred to in the author's notes.
==The author writes:==
Someone in the forums uploaded all of the Gnorm Gnat comics recently, and I saw some funny text from the newspaper above the actual comic for April 25, 1974. I thought it would go well with this Garfield comic.

==Explanation==
In the original, Liz said some collections of letters, half of which are not recognized by Wiktionary as words, and none of which can be used to extrapolate meaning from her sentence, and Jon said he'd never understand women. Here, Liz speaks in squares of color, which Jon thinks is colorful language.
The squares of color which Liz speaks are a code. The code uses intensity combinations within the red, green, and blue channels of the color to indicate which letter it represents. Each channel can be at no intensity (00), half-intensity (80), or full intensity (FF), giving us 3³ combinations, or 27. If the code is for the English language, then all 26 letters and the space can be represented at the expense of representing punctuation and capitalization.
00 in the red channel is the range A-I. 80 in the red channel is the range J-R. FF in the red channel is the range S-Z and the space.
00 in the green channel is the ranges A-C, J-L, and S-U. 80 in the green channel is the ranges D-F, M-O, and V-X. FF in the green channel is the ranges G-I, P-R, and Y, Z, and the space.
00 in the blue channel is A, D, G, J, M, P, S, V, and Y. 80 in the blue channel is B, E, H, K, N, Q, T, W, and Z. FF in the blue channel is C, F, I, L, O, R, U, X, and the space.
With that known, Liz's phrase works out to "YOU ARE A RADISH", making Garfield's guess correct. Additionally, the title of the strip is hex code that works out to "LINGUISTICS WITH LIZ".

==Explanation==
For this strip, the author took the image of Garfield that was originally in the "evil laugh" panel and put it in place of the images of Garfield in the other panels, and put the normal Garfield in place of the "evil laugh" Garfield. Thus, a Garfield that is normally contorted thus, and looks normal only when he's laughing evilly.

4314: Scamfield

==Explanation==
This strip pokes fun at the then-ubiquitous advertising surrounding Raid: Shadow Legends, a free-to-play video game, by having Garfield watch a program sponsored by the game. The strip's title pokes fun at Raid: Shadow Legends's free-to-play mechanics, specifically how they relate to the Allegedly Free Game trope.
This is one of two strips with the same setup, the other being 4359: Sponsored Content. It is unknown when this strip was submitted, thus it is unknown which one was submitted first.

4315: GarfieldWare: D.I.Y.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This comic is an adaptation of 2001-03-27, drawn in WarioWare: D.I.Y.. The game has a comic creator, but it's incredibly barebones and doesn't let you use color. One of its features is to clone panels, though, so I used that for some authentic Jim Davis copy-and-paste action. I edited together screenshots to show all three of the comic's panels.

4319: NAKED LASAGNA

==Explanation==
The title is a reference to "Naked Lunch", a book by William S. Burroughs. It's structured as a series of routines, not ordered by time. Many of them follow William Lee. The last panel's dialogue is based on a quote by Burroughs, possibly as uttered by the character William Lee.
As Burroughs has been dead since 1997, if he and Jim Davis haven't already met, it's too late for them to do so.
The centipede in question is, in "The Naked Lunch", a delicacy known as the Black Meat, which some people gorge themselves on, vomit up, and eat some more.
Presumably, the connection to the very first Garfield strip is that the character introduces himself, his profession, and... says the word "thought"?
==The author writes:==
There's no reason for Jim Davis and William S Burroughs to ever meet, and yet I was compelled to make it happen. No more chewing on this aquatic, Brazilian centipede for me.
No original Garfield strip referenced, but very loosely based on .

4320: All Lines Reversed.

==Explanation==
This strip flips the legal lingo and Jim Davis's credit into the comic proper, and the lines of the comic proper over to where the legal lingo and Jim Davis's credit would normally go. Here, panel 1 and the space between the first two panels switched places; panel 2 and the space between the last two panels switched places; the elements originally found within panel 3 switched places.
As this strip predated the site recoding effort that ended up causing mojibake errors on a sizable number of strips, the transcript getting hit by a mojibake error causes it to no longer match the strip exactly. Comparing the strip proper to the transcript implies this would be one of the easier mojibake fixes out there.
==The author writes:==
Probably the least uninteresting thing about this edit are the questions that arise:
*What now counts as a line I have to transcribe? (I went with all to be sure.)
*Does emphasizing the copyright change anything about the legality of making edits to Garfield strips? (I'm very much not a lawyer.)

4323: Garfield discovers pipes

==Explanation==
This strip takes the premise of 4145: Garfield discovers cigarettes, if not that Square Root of Minus Garfield strip itself, and further edits what was originally a whistle--which the author interpreted as looking like a stick or lollipop, potentially unaware of the April 1979 original strip's premise--and replaces it with the pipe from the 1978 original strip, tweaking the dialogue to reflect. The second panel from #4145/the April 1979 original strip is switched out for the third panel from the 1978 original strip, which leads into the third panel from #4145/the first panel of the February 1979 original strip to show the same effect #4145 went for.
==The author writes:==
After seeing today's strip (#4145), I was thinking about how the middle panel could be replaced with the last panel of the pipe strip to make it more look like Garfield is smoking. I also replaced the "cigarette" with a pipe because the "cigarette" looks more like a stick of a lollipop to me and I thought that the pipe was more fitting with the era of the original strips used.
