3883: Odie's Revenge

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
KelpTheGreat, adding entirely too much morbidity* to your SRoMG since 2015.
If anyone is interested in taking some real-world lessons from this tragic incident, they may wish to scrutinize Jon's decision to leave his pets alone, without a pet-sitter, when Odie has been abused by Garfield for years and could finally take the opportunity to exact his vengeance.
I've had this strip in mind for a long time, but just couldn't find the right strip to pull (hehe) Garfield's tail from. Once I finally did, the rest was simple. The biggest problem was figuring out what to name the strip, normally not a problem I have. Some rejected strip names:
*"Always Hire a Pet-sitter"
*"Garfield Minus 90% of Garfield, in a Really Disturbing Fashion"
*"Garfield Plus Pet Negligence"
*"When Jon's Away, the Dog Has His Day"
*"Odie's Stomach Plus Garfield"
*"Garfield Plus Pet-on-Pet Violence"
By my count, this is the 30th strip I've submitted to SRoMG (not all have been accepted and/or published, and at the time of this writing there are several that have been accepted and have yet to be published). I hope everyone is enjoying reading them as much as I enjoy making them! :D
*Be thankful I didn't go with my original plan and stain Odie's teeth red with blood and have some dripping from his mouth as he bared his fangs. ^_^

3885: But first we need to talk about parallel universes

==Explanation==
This strip essentially takes the black-and-white version of the original Garfield strip and reverts the dialogue to that of the Jon strip that was recycled into the Garfield strip. This, in turn, essentially undoes the name change given to the dog in the transition between Jon and Garfield.
It is unknown the exact reason why this particular name change occurred; the explanation of the later 5723: Garfield Odie, Jon Spot goes into further detail over the two prominent theories surrounding the name change.
==The author writes:==
[Two very similar strips were submitted in quick succession by two contributors - the image shown above is a mix of the two. Matthew Prower's author's note:]
Back when this strip wasn't available nationwide (watch this Quinton Reviews video to get up to speed), Odie was called Spot. I assume Jim Davis changed because it was too common or something.
[...and Kokonut's:]
Reconverting a Garfield strip into its original Jon (recently unearthed 1976-78 pre-Garfield Garfield) strip was the obvious thing to do.
Original Jon strip: 1977-03-05.

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Not gonna lie, this took like half an hour to do. And all I did was change the final panel. Now what if Garfield told Jon that in the original Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme they never said he was an egg? Don't say I didn't warn you.

3894: Proper Word Usage

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
"DÃ©tente (French pronunciation: â€‹[detÉ‘Ìƒt], meaning "relaxation")[1] is the easing of strained relations, especially in a political situation. The term originates in the time of the Triple Entente and Entente cordiale in reference to an easing of tensions between England and France who, subsequent to being commingled polities under Norman rule, were warring rivals for the better part of a millennium but pursuant to a policy of dÃ©tente became enduring allies." (Wikipedia)
Note that this conflicts with what exactly happened in the original comic: Garfield responded to a "threat" with a threat of his own, creating tension rather than easing it.'
I was thinking about calling the strip "actual detente", but this way maybe there is a slight surprise in reading it, like some sight gags in Garfield would be ruined if they appeared in all the panels instead of simply the last one as the punchline.
sorry about the image quality.
also I learned that detente is pronounced day-tont (or some better way of writing that), so when i saw the comic originally, no, I could not say detente.

389: Darkerfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes==
This is an assembled collection of entirely black Garfield panels arranged in the manner of a Horror movie. In case it's not entirely clear, Jon is firing an empty gun in the 5th & 6th panels. Why he keeps firing at Garfield isn't entirely clear. Then later when Odie yelps, Jon's clearly throwing him to the wolves. Then he feels a roundish object that causes the kind of unspeakable carnage we could only imagine about.
Exactly who is thinking the last lines is something I'll leave to the readers themselves.
I took the opportunity to hide the copyright information between the panels, as well as changing Garfield's eyelids.

38: Garfield Rescue!

==Explanation==
In the original comic, Garfield started out riding Odie, then suddenly, he was gone; the last panel revealed that he was caught by his mouth on a low-hanging branch.
Now, as explained, the order of the panels has been reversed; thus, Garfield's predicament has an unknown cause, and him riding away is the result of a rescue attempt by Odie.
==The author writes:==
The only change is that the ordering of the panels has been reversed.

3908: Linguistics with Liz: Swedish

==Explanation==
This strip takes the expectations one would have of a "Linguistics with Liz" strip and turns the thinking around. The title implies Liz's dialogue would be a Swedish translation of the expected phrase central to a "Linguistics with Liz" presentation, Jon revealing he'll never understand Swedish, and Garfield's line to be unchanged; instead, Liz's line is left unchanged from the original strip, as is Jon's subsequent line, Garfield's line being changed to reference Ikea as a key part of Swedish culture.
Using a search engine translation service to translate Liz's line, setting from Swedish to English, results in no translation and a suggestion to use a different language that would also use no results. "Radish" in Swedish is "rädisa".
