1036: Changefield 6: Amazing World Of Garfield

:This article's title is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is 1036: Changefield #6: Amazing World Of Garfield.
----
==Explanation==
Despite its title, this is actually the seventh strip of the "Changefield" series; this is due to the fifth strip in the series, 657: "Garfield Minus Garfield" Plus Garfield, not being titled or numbered as a numbered "Changefield" strip and throwing off subsequent numbered titles in the series as a result.
==The author writes:==
I got this in my head after seeing some of the other "Changefield" comics.

1042: Garfield's Corer Theatre

==Explanation==
The original strip had Garfield say "horror", with the "horror" being that they're out of cookies. Here, Garfield says "corer", which sounds a lot like "horror", and the middle panel was replaced with an entire strip in which Jon, perusing a photo album with Garfield, talks about a family member who'd won a state apple coring championship.
The author's note "complains" about what the author themselves did.

1045: The First Thing You Said

== Explanation ==
This strip was based on the fact that the 2012 original Garfield strip incorrectly recalling the first depicted meeting between Jon and Liz, and the author sought to correct it. The author used Liz's first line in the Garfield strip in this correction effort.
This strip was published the day before 1046: Continuity Fixed Garfield, which used Liz's first complete sentence directly spoken toward Jon, interpreting the line used in this strip as being spoken to another person. The disagreement between this strip and #1046 ultimately inspired 5433: When Jon Really Met Liz, which went even further back into Garfield's predecessor strip, Jon.
== The author writes ==
For those who are wondering the second thing was, "Liz."

1046: Continuity Fixed Garfield

== Explanation ==
This strip was based on the fact that the 2012 original Garfield strip incorrectly recalling the first depicted meeting between Jon and Liz, and the author sought to correct it. The author explains their choice of reasoning of what they believed to be the first thing Liz said to Jon in the author's notes, further revealing that Jon wasn't even wearing a tie in the 1979 strip like the 2012 strip implied.
This strip was published the day after 1045: The First Thing You Said, which used Liz's first line in the Garfield strip, which this author interpreted as being spoken to her co-worker as opposed to Jon himself. The disagreement between this strip and #1045 ultimately inspired 5433: When Jon Really Met Liz, which went even further back into Garfield's predecessor strip, Jon.
== The author writes ==
If one goes to the archive and looks at Liz's first appearance, the 2012 strip I've fixed here is doubly wrong; not only does it get what she says to Jon wrong, he wasn't even wearing a tie in the 1979 strip. (Technically, her first words are "Who's next please?" (said to woman at the front desk) and "Liz", but I chose to use the first complete sentence she says to Jon.)
[Admin note: We received this submission just a few hours after yesterday's comic, which itself arrived on the same day as the original Garfield strip was published. Obviously both contributors were equally inspired to go look up Liz's first words, but with different results. So we decided to publish both.]

104: Garfield Minus Characters

==Explanation==
All characters having been abruptly removed, there is no one to hold the greeting card up, and so it falls onto the table.

1051: Second Opinion

==Explanation==
In the original, Jon was actually talking to Joe's Garage about his car, with potential repairs pertaining to a motor vehicle, and Garfield leaving over the misunderstanding that it was about him. Here, Jon is talking to Liz's office about Garfield, with cat-appropriate treatments suggested.
==The author writes:==
An alternate look at the Sunday comic with the closest medical terms that could've been running through Garfield's imagination as Jon was describing his car repairs. One wonders what the mechanical equivalent of being neutered might be.

105: Politigarfield

==Explanation==
This is an imitation of the type of political cartoon that uses objects or people to symbolize other people or ideas. Here Garfield, representing consumerism, kicks Odie, representing the future, off a table. The obvious implication would be that the political cartoonist believes that consumerism is harmful for a culture's future prospects. Given that Garfield has a habit of kicking Odie off the table, there may also be an implication that consumerism continually and willfully does harm to the future. There may be a further intention of ascribing Garfield's characteristics to consumerism and Odie's characteristics to the concept of "the future".

1060: Joni Arbuckle

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon goes to frolic in the meadow, only to find that a hotel has been built on it. Garfield suggests he hang out in the lobby instead. In this edit, the general idea is the same, but the specifics are altered as a reference to the opening lyrics of "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell: "They paved paradise/And put up a parking lot".
The author's notes include an anecdote about having given away the album the song originates from (Hard Candy by Counting Crows), and expresses his regret with a rephrased version of another lyric from the song: "...you don't know what you've got/'Til it's gone."
==The author writes:==
I gave my copy of Hard Candy by Counting Crows to a charity shop. I wish I hadn't. I guess you don't really appreciate things until you don't have them any more, or something like that anyway.

1061: Art as Garfield as Art

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Initially, I just made the last strip (2011-05-07), I did it in a chalk style, with the neo-cubism version of the canvas Jon painted. However, the longer I played around with it, the more I liked the idea of the entire story (except for the introduction strip () which didn't have Jon in the beanie or smock) done in various styles. The first is a haloed style for memories that are more myth than reality, the second is a darker, blurred look suitable for the destruction of expectations. The third strip was a kind of pastel optimism (that Garfield wouldn't ruin Jon's day). The next to last was your typical newsprint to represent the lowest-common-denominator humour.

==Transcript==
{Jon, in a beanie and artist's smock, looks at a canvas on an easel. Garfield lies nearby.}
Jon: Should I paint a portrait... or a still life?
{a beat while Jon looks at Garfield.}
Jon: Or both.
Garfield: Your muse is not amused.
{Jon smiles enthusiastically to Garfield who is standing now.}
Jon: How about a real dynamic pose?
{a beat, Jon's enthusiasm dims.}
Jon: I guess that IS pretty dynamic for you.
Garfield: Hurry up, I can't hold this forever.
{Jon is ready to paint.}
Jon: Give me a "Mona Lisa" smile.
{Jon is startled as Garfield smiles hideously, eyes crazy and too many teeth.}
{Jon is annoyed.}
Jon: Mona Lisa didn't smile like that!
Garfield: You never caught her at a Willie Nelson concert.
{Liz, smiling, stands next to Jon, who is still painting.}
Liz: What are you painting, Jon?
Jon: Garfield.
{Liz' smile drops away.}
Liz: It needs more orange.
{Jon is resigned, but Garfield beams.}
Jon: There isn't enough orange in the world.
Garfield: I've always thought so.
{Jon puts the finishing touch on the canvas. Garfield is surprised.}
Jon: ...there!
{Jon admires the painting}
Jon: I think I've captured your essence
Garfield: Let's see
{Jon, beaming, turns the canvas around to show Garfield. The painting is a neo-cubist rendering of Garfield's belly. Garfield is less than amused.}

1066: Wallfield

==Explanation==
This strip is simple joke reversal - in the original, Garfield complains that nature is boring, then switches to "your wallpaper is boring" after Jon tells him that he's actually staring at the wall. The exact opposite occurs here.

1067: Barfield, Sunday Edition

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Odie is walking to Garfield's food bowl, which is full. Odie starts to sniff Garfield's food. Odie looks at the camera with a scheming face. Odie's head turns the other way, while Garfield eats his food. Odie is now looking at the empty bowl. Odie stares at the camera saying, "Burp?" The edit of the original strip turns the other way around.

106: Jon

==Explanation==
In this comic, Garfield apparently speaks aloud, while Jon's first bit of dialogue (but not his second, curiously enough) is encased in a thought balloon. Also, Jon is introduced with his species rather than his vocation. 
==The author writes:==
Another variation on the Jon and Garfield switch places idea that others have used. This time, they stay put, but their lines get switched around, which kind of switches their positions in the comic around too.
Chances are good I'll seek out other strips to do the same thing to.

1077: 36×10 Garfield 2

==Explanation==
See the author's note for No. 42, as it explains the base concept, while the explanation portion takes on the specific instance. In this one, one can tell that the players are Jon to the left, and Garfield to the right. Word balloons hang in the air in the first and third panels, so one might correctly surmise that Jon is the one speaking in the first panel, and Garfield is responding to him after a beat panel.

1078: Six-Fingered Man

==Explanation==
Count Rugen is the main villain of the 1987 movie The Princess Bride, whose most notable physical abnormality was the six fingers on his right hand. A major source of conflict in the film is that Rugen killed the father of one of the main characters, Inigo Montoya 
With the original strip mentioning a man with six fingers, this edit replaces the original character with Count Rugen and alters Jon's dialogue to efficiently place him in the shoes of Inigo.
==The author writes:==
As soon as I saw Garfield's "Six Fingers" comment, I knew I had to make this.
Original strip: .

Jon: There's old Count Rugen... 
Jon: He was the man who killed my father. 
Jon: He had three medals.

107: Birthday Garfield

==Explanation==
This is one of those strips where the only edit is to put together three panels from three different strips. In this case, it's based on the publication date of the source comics. Given that the author can do this, it means all listed are younger than the original Garfield strip. Particularly the daughter, who was 1 year old by the time this Square Root of Minus Garfield strip was published.
==The author writes:==
This mishmash is three panels from my own, my wife's, and my daughter's birthday Garfield strips.

1083: Garfield Before Swine

==Explanation==
This strip takes the original Pearls Before Swine strip and transplants its dialogue wholesale into the final panel of the original Garfield strip. The original Garfield strip involved Jon angrily confronting Garfield over the loss of a large number of pet fish, a similar subject to what the original Pearls Before Swine strip covered (the implication in both the original Pearls Before Swine strip and this strip is that "Reality" ate both "Hope" and "Dreams"). The dialogue isn't properly synchronized, however; in panel 1, Garfield uses Rat's line and Jon uses Pig's line, but in panels 2 and 3 Jon uses Rat's line and Garfield uses Pig's lines.
This strip is not the last time a Square Root of Minus Garfield strip would be named "Garfield Before Swine"; 4711: Garfield Before Swine, another fusion of Garfield and Pearls Before Swine elements, also bore that title.
==The author writes:==
The dialogue here is from the comic strip Pearls Before Swine, drawn by Stephan Pastis. The strip centres around the arrogant, self-centred Rat, and the dim-witted, naive Pig.
Original Pearls Before Swine strip: 2003-10-07.

Garfield: How are your new fish doing?
Jon: Not good... I can't find "Hope" and "Dreams!"

109: April of No Sundays Collection

==Explanation==
The first of many "No Sundays" SRoMG strips. The goal of these strips is to edit down a certain amount (usually a month's worth) of 7-panel (minus the title) Sunday strips into 3-panel daily strips, preserving the original punchline while cutting out the content unnecessary for setting up and delivering the gag. Any amount of editing can be used to achieve this goal: April 5th and 19th feature no edits besides the rearrangement of panels, while April 12th and 26th have a speech bubble and letter content (respectively) from other panels added to their new first panels. By removing the extended setup of Sunday strip gags, said gags are more quick, to the point, and (to most) humorous, proving once more that brevity is indeed the soul of wit. Curiously, qvaak does not provide an author's note beyond linking the original strips, leaving us with one of the only instances where the "site admin" provides a note for us.
==The author writes:==
Originals: , , , .
Comment by site admin: Sometimes the 7-panel Sunday Garfield strips just seem like a bunch of unnecessary filler around the core gag. By taking every Sunday strip from April, 2009, and paring them down to the essentials of the gags in just 3 brief panels each, qvaak here has shown that brevity is indeed the soul of wit.

10: Garfield Plus Penultimate Beat Panel

==Explanation==
The first of many strips experimenting with beat panels, this one starts simple. Only one beat panel is added, right before the punchline - to many, it makes the strip funnier.
==The author writes:==
The silent beat panel is a classic trope of comic strips, simulating the comedic pause before the delivery of a punchline. It can get clichéd, but sometimes it really works to make the joke funnier.
You could make an argument that Garfield, compressed as it is into 3 hectic and often over-wordy panels, probably doesn't use them enough.

Jon: My credit cards are missing.
Jon: Garfield, have you seen my credit cards?

1104: 2field

==Explanation==
3eanuts is a webcomic based on Peaunuts in which the same edit is applied to every strip: the removal of the final panel. As daily Peanuts strips are often four panels, this results in three panels, hence its name. Applying the same kind of edit to Garfield typically results in 2-panel strips, and indeed, does, in the strips selected for this edit.
Feel-wise, 3eanuts purports that the punchline in a Peanuts comic conceals the existential despair; without it, "despair pervades all." In this edit, taking the first six dailies of 2012:
* Instead of settling for a cookie, Garfield just doesn't show back up again.
* Without Garfield's final remark to turn the scene on its head, the resulting strip seems rather sweet... if not for Jon's surprised at being so treated.
* Without Garfield's final remark, his expression in the second panel could be interpreted as shock. Was Garfield hoping to annoy Liz? Did he even realize he was looking at her?
* Instead of explaining why Garfield can't speak seriously to Odie, he just doesn't speak again.
* Jon's speculation and Garfield's... reassurance? ...are removed, leaving only the scenario.
* The final strip used works surprisingly well, as all that's removed is the end result of stepping on Garfield's tail.
