3826: Tumblr mad

==Explanation==
This strip takes 1859: Vegan Garfield and splices in a Tumblr blog post calling out Jon on his behavior from the original 1983-08-17 Garfield strip--specifically, on how putting a cat on a vegan diet would be considered animal abuse. The author, according to their notes, saw the blog post in question as a perfect response to #1859.
The way the blog post is formatted throws in a reference to a Square Root of Minus Garfield running gag: the user name "Stephan0" appears in the panel containing the blog post, an allusion to the "Stephano" gag began by the strip that's been a common target of Square Root of Minus Garfield remixes.
==The author writes:==
So I was looking for Garfield strips when I stumbled across this truly bizarre blog dedicated to documenting the various atrocities committed by one Jon Arbuckle. One of the posts happened to be a perfect response to an SRoMG strip.
Original Square Root of Minus Garfield strip: 2014-06-21.
Original Tumblr post: http://ihatejonarbuckle.tumblr.com/post/135395153956/arbuckle-confirmed-for-animal-abuser [swears, adult references, etc]
Original strips: , .
==Transcript==
Jon: Happy diet, Garfield. Here's a banana for breakfast
Jon {typing}: 'sup tumblr, my cat is now 100% vegan. u mad?
{A Tumblr post is shown with Jon's comment in a quote template followed by:}
Post: Arbuckle confirmed for animal abuser
Post: And here we see Jon Arbuckle enforcing a vegan/vegetarian/fruitarian diet on his cat. As anyone on Tumblr should be able to tell you by now, that's animal abuse. This time, Arbuckle is not merely using the possibility of abuse as a threat - even a hyperbolic one - he's straight-up performing the act of abuse, for all to see. Garfield has the right idea here: Shooting his abuser in self-defense, which Jim Davis is callous enough to use as a punchline. Retaliation against abuse is no joke, Mr. Davis.
Jon: My blog is getting edgier!

3829: Where the banshees live and they do live well

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I'll let Charles Dickens explain to you the "countless stones" legend, a piece of folklore commonly attached to Neolithic stone structures in Britain, and therefore you can bet attached to what I think of as the Citizen Kane of Neolithic stone structures, Stonehenge. Here he goes:
:That was a good inn down in Wiltshire where I put up once, in the days of the hard Wiltshire ale, and before all beer was bitterness. It was on the skirts of Salisbury Plain, and the midnight wind that rattled my lattice window, came moaning at me from Stonehenge. There was a hanger-on at that establishment (a supernaturally preserved Druid, I believe him to have been, and to be still) with long white hair, and a flinty blue eye always looking afar off: who claimed to have been a shepherd, and who seemed to be ever watching for the reappearance on the verge of the horizon, of some ghostly flock of sheep that had been mutton for many ages. He was a man with a weird belief in him that no one could count the stones of Stonehenge twice, and make the same number of them; likewise, that any one who counted them three times nine times, and then stood in the centre and said "I dare!" would behold a tremendous apparition, and be stricken dead.
Wikipedia, citing an article by S. P. Menefee in Folklore, quotes a seventeenth-century courtier as saying that Charles II managed to count them, which is a tremendous bit of suck-upery.

382: Ice, Ice, Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip takes its first panel from the 2004 strip, in which Garfield dumped ice cubes into Jon's pants, and its other panels from the 1992 strip, in which Jon was playing "Find the Ice Cube". In the original 2004 strip, Garfield laughed at his reaction, then later found himself annoyed that his soda was warm. In the original 1992 strip, we're not shown who put an ice cube in Jon's clothes; given Garfield's unamused reaction, it may be inferred that this was self-inflicted. Now it seems like only one cube got through unmelted, and Garfield isn't even enjoying his own prank much.
The title is a reference to the 1990 Vanilla Ice song "Ice Ice Baby".

3832: It will never end

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Seeing this strip appear I knew it was too good for editing, and what better way than to use it for a site dedicated for fans. Jim Davis is 74 at this time (08/2019) and eventually he will retire. When he finally does, his impact and Garfield will stay for generations and the fans of his work will always want to show love and appreciation for his work by making parodies, fan art, or... other things (I'm Sorry Jon).

3834: Garfield is a bully

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I saw this strip, thought Garfield's "support" of Jon was a bit strange (throwing sand on to someone he perceived as having performed an injustice towards Jon), and thought about how Garfield just decided to throw sand on someone for no good reason, so I removed the first panel to emphasize this absurd event.

3837: Dekovorpnu

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Jon made the declaration found in this strip's second panel before asking Garfield for his opinion. (This is a case where Jon provably does not hear Garfield's snark.) Garfield proceeded to make annoying alterations to Jon's outfit until Jon decided to throw Garfield through a window.
Edits of this strip often had Jon react earlier, such as when Garfield thought "That outfit's hysterical." Then came the mentioned #3015, in which Jon threw Garfield through the window without Garfield even having gotten any mockery out.
And so, this edit sends Garfield through the window in the other direction; as it hasn't been broken yet in the first panel, it's seen to be intact. Shards fly into the room, and Garfield lands in a seated position, not seeming to have registered that he's been flung through a window.
The title is "Unprovoked" spelled backwards.
==The author writes:==
Once SRoMG #3015: Unprovoked was published, three forumers confessed that they had submitted very similar takes on the same comic. I had a take on it I thought was brilliant - the comic you see now - but decided I'd hold off on submitting it until I was sure it wouldn't be stuck in the slush pile with the other edits of this strip.
Then, for the longest time, I forgot to actually submit it.
This comic will be two years old soon enough.

3840: "Garfield in Doubled Half Time" in Haiku

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I always feel like fiddling with text.
This is probably the quickest I've created a strip based off of another strip, in terms of time elapsed between original publication, my viewing of said strip, and creating and submitting my strip. Lubaf's strip only went up on SRoMG two days ago, at the time of this submission email.
In creating the haiku, I tried to stick as closely to the meaning of the original text as possible, at least for Jon's dialogue. Obviously, I omitted his repeated line which was present in the original. Garfield's dialogue was much shorter in the original, so I had to pad it out a bit, while trying to make sense in context and fit into the haiku format. I think I did pretty well.

3841: Cheap Sensationalism

==Explanation==
This edit swaps the second and third panels. In the original, the punchline is that Garfield is still willing to get his picture taken regardless of what the reporter calls it; here, the focus is on Garfield objecting to the reporter characterizing his plight as a "human interest story" rather than the cheap sensationalism he feels it to be.

3842: Dogged Enthusiasm

==Explanation==
In the original March 31st strip, Garfield wanted to owe Odie an apology as he pushed him off the table, and as he walked off, Garfield owed him too. In the original May 13th strip, Garfield was sleeping like various artists.
In this edit, Garfield walked up to Odie and pushed him off table four times, making him smaller in the process of doing that. Alongside that, Garfield sleeps while pushing Odie off table.
After Garfield pushed smaller Odie off of the table, he then tells the viewer that he's interested to see how this experiment of his ends.
Dogged enthusiasm combines in two words that describe someone who is determined and persistent in their pursuit of doing something, even when it's difficult or takes a long time.

3843: Cartoon Physics Readded

==Explanation==
This strip essentially gives 2276: Garfield Minus Cartoon Physics the "A Death in the Family treatment, portraying #2276 as equivalent to A Death in the Family's "Jason dies" scenario that was ultimately published; this strip takes #2276 and reworks the ending so that Garfield survives being crushed by the refrigerator albeit badly battered, similar to the unused scenario that had been planned out had "Jason lives" won the vote.
==The author writes:==
After seeing strip #1070 and #2276, I was wondering why Jon did not hear the noise in the original strip. This is the result. Garfield is upset at Jon because of his decision to put the cookies on top of the fridge that almost caused him to get killed.

3845: All Eyez Jon Me

==Explanation==
The base comic comes from the February 2018 strip; the question there was what to do if you're angry at your mailman. The question in this edit comes from the July 2018 strip; there, Odie had no idea, leaving Garfield to relay this lack of knowledge. Odie's apparent answer -- followed by a wink from the 2011 strip -- seems to suggest that beef by-products are actually made of Lesane Parish "Tupac Amaru Shakur" Crooks. The author's note relates what they think might be the general consensus of what his murder was not related to.
The title makes a pun, using Jon's name to replace the word "on" in the name of one of his albums, "All Eyez on Me".
==The author writes:==
My admittedly ignorant reading of the consensus is that the unsolved murder of American rapper Tupac Shakur is thought to be probably unrelated to the high-profile coastal rivalry then-ongoing in the hip-hop industry. But maybe Odie knows something we don't.

3849: Laziness IS contagious

==Explanation==
As implied by this strip's author's notes, this strip is intended to lampoon lazy efforts even moreso than the original Garfield strip. To that effect, the setup from the first panel is cloned into the other two strips (the original Garfield strip had an art shift between each panel, there to imply lazier efforts between each panel) to make it look like very little effort had been put into to differentiate the panels. The transcript continues the lazy-effort theme: the first line doesn't specify Garfield as the speaker, and the third line lacks a colon to separate the speaker from the line proper. Contrary to what the signature looks like, the author did not make it look like Jim was agreeing with him regarding the low-effort product; the signature was, in fact, in the original Garfield strip, wherein Jim was agreeing with Garfield.
==The author writes:==
When Garfield switched to computers to make comics, the copy paste got more obvious (truth be told, Garfield always had it, it just wasn't as noticeable as it was all hand drawn). So when I saw this strip, I got an idea to make it TRULY lazy, to hammer home the message.
P.S.: End the strip already, Davis, you can't keep making them forever.*

384: Garfield Midas Garfield

==Explanation==
Similar to the "Constantly changing" series, this edit replaces Garfield with a character for seemingly no other reason than that his name sounds something like "minus". Unlike in that meme, Garfield is replaced in every panel, and the base strip is different. The chosen strip seems to have no connection to King Midas.
