2446: Garfield Plus Time - Value Added: A Loyal Pet

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
As soon as I saw #2341, this strip popped into mind. I had thought it'd be a simple job just to paste in Garfield's skeleton without touching anything else, but that proved to be impossible as he covered most of the "condemned" sign. So I had to move the sign above his head, which meant I had to shorten the width of Jon's speech bubble, which meant that the extra "lonelys" above the strip had to go as well. Anyway, about half an hour of working in MS Paint came up with this, and I'm quite proud of how it turned out; it doesn't look as shoddy as some of my picture edits have (and no doubt will).

244: Jon the Clueless Witness

==Explanation==
In both the original and this edit, the store clerk is somewhat paranoid. In the original, he assumes Jon is holding him up and calls the police despite Jon's assurance that he's just there to make a purchase. In the edit, the clerk has apparently been dealing in illegal organ trade, and is willing to hire someone to kill anyone who might report him. While the clerk is amazingly loose-lipped in his unprovoked denials, Jon is amazingly oblivious, and doesn't seem to pick up on his suspicious behavior.
==The author writes:==
Since most of the authors have a reason for selecting whichever strips they choose to edit, I decided to take the one made on my birthday, , and change the dialogue into something a little more...incriminating. Now the clerk's got something to hide, and Jon is totally oblivious.

2453: Garfield With A Slightly Changed Setup

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I once won an argument about joke structure by taking a joke, completely changing the setting (from a bar to a hair salon) and the gender of the protagonist, without changing the joke itself in any meaningful way (it was about "complimentary" shampoo samples and peanuts, reverse respectively).
Which is why I put this strip to you, the reader, with a question: is this version of the strip (where, I contend, the joke is Garfield is still hungry even after having just eaten) significantly different to the original (where, I contend, the joke is Jon is purposefully misunderstanding Garfield, and receiving a beating for it), even though the only difference is in what Garfield is doing in the first panel? I'd say "yes", in contradiction of my previously mentioned argument, but I can see the obvious counterarguments.
Also, I'm now curious as to what kind of bar would have shampoo samples, and what kind of hair salon would have peanuts (the kind you eat, not the kind you ship things in that seems to have been replaced by bags full of air).

2456: Ice Ice Baby

==Explanation==
This strip takes the original Garfield strip, duplicates the second panel, recolors the parka in the second copy of the second panel to resemble that of the Ice Climbers' Nana (the parka in the original Garfield strip already resembled Popo's parka), and tweaks Jon's line in the last panel to refer to the Ice Climbers having been cut from the roster of the fourth installment of the Super Smash Bros. series.
The Ice Climbers being cut from the Smash 4 roster stemmed from hardware specifications; although they had been working fine on the Wii U version during development, the specifications of the Nintendo 3DS prevented the Ice Climbers from working on that platform's version of the game. As both the 3DS and Wii U versions were to have identical rosters, this ultimately led to the Ice Climbers getting cut. The Ice Climbers were never reinstated to Smash 4 via DLC; however, the fifth installment, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, returned the Ice Climbers (and indeed all previously cut characters) to the roster partly due to the fact that Ultimate's platform, the Nintendo Switch (the successor to the Nintendo 3DS platform), had hardware strong enough to properly render the Ice Climbers.
==The author writes:==
Just in case the future decides to mess with me (DLC for Smash 4 is still being made at this present time), I want to make something clear: this strip was made on August 24th, 2015 and submitted on August 25th, 2015 (19 minutes after midnight, btw).

2457: Lyrical

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Garfield danced on -- and fell off -- a fence, which he claims was waxed (specifically to end his performance, one would assume). 
Here, he's dancing on the word "LYRICAL". Again, he falls. This time, however, he implicitly questions whether the culprit "waxed lyrical" (an expression referring to people expressing themselves in a manner akin to song singing, or expressive of emotion). The author considers the possibility of it being a sort-of sequel to "Absolutely Nothing", in which Garfield falls off a mass of nothing that was inexplicably waxed.
The "PunGuard" alert message was originally used in Irregular Webcomic!, as part of a sort of wikipedia:Feghoot:feghoot involving Shakespeare having a conflict on whether he should head to office B on level 2 (there, implicitly ending with "2B, or not 2B, that is the question").

It could be a sort-of sequel to #2294.

==Explanation==

I had this idea floating around my head for a while and finally figured out how to do it and the title for it as well. I guess if Catbert was taking the place of Garfield, an unsuspecting Jon would be confused. Of course, how could you tell?

245: Candid Camera Garfield

==Explanation==
In the strip that was the inspiration for this one, Jon approaches a woman while wearing an accordion, and attempts to flirt with her. She gets excited, thinking she's on "that show where they play practical jokes", a premise similar to Candid Camera, hence the title of this edit. Believing Garfield to be a hidden camera, she picks him up and says, "Hi, mom!"
In this strip, Garfield is watching "The Show Where We Play Practical Jokes", which is suspiciously similar in wording to what the woman says. Today's episode? Why, that time Jon wore an accordion and attempted to hit on a woman, of course! This brings up a few possibilities:
# Garfield had (or was) a hidden camera without realizing it.
# The woman had a hidden camera, and her instructions were to pretend she "figured out" she was on the show she was in cahoots with.
# Same as the above, only the camera was hidden somewhere else.

2460: VHSfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I suddenly had the urge to make this, since I'm a total 90s kid and still watch VHS tapes. VHS actually has many advantages over DVD. They remember where you left off, and the previews are almost as good as the video itself.
I just wish our Movie Gallery was still around, though, so I wouldn't have to go to thrift stores and eBay so much. Stupid Redbox...
Oh, and by the way, the difference in picture quality between a VHS and a DVD isn't really that noticeable unless you're comparing them side by side.

2464: Sometimes Your Dish Bleeds More Than Your Heart

==Explanation==
A "little different from usual" is right! Nothing in this author's stripography would suggest that he would come up with anything like this, and yet, here it is: Garfield's bowl inexplicably issuing forth blood. The original "difference" was that it was empty, with Garfield pseudo-cattily implying that it should be filled.

==Explanation==

2467: Off Route 109

==Explanation==
The edit is self-explanatory enough, but the title is a rather oblique reference to the first episode of the animated series Steven Universe, which heavily revolves around the title character's favorite confectionery - "Cookie Cat". Garfield is a cat, and claims to be saving a cookie (though it's not there), so the connection (once you know what the title is about) is pretty obvious. Speaking of which, the title itself comes from a bit in said episode where Steven recites an advertising jingle/rap for the brand right before eating it - right down to the spoken disclaimer at the end: "Now available at Gurgen's off Route 109!"
==The author writes:==

2468: Coffie

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
A very long time ago, when I was still in elementary school, there was one of those Scholastic sales at my school where a bunch of books and "educational" "games" and the like were sold. It was there I found a CD with software on it that allowed you to make your own Garfield comic strip. As far as I can tell, it had a lot more assets and was a lot better than the "strip maker" that the official Garfield website now allows.
My brother used the software to make this strip and printed it, and it's hung on my family's refrigerator for years. But the last few times I tried to locate my copy of that software, or even find evidence on the Internet that it ever existed in the first place, I came up completely empty. It's a real shame, too, because the assets from this software alone would surely be a boon to the SRoMG community, or really anything similar to it.
But let this scan serve as evidence that the software really exists, or at least it did exist at one time. And note the subtle change of calendar between the first half of the strip and the second. Did these events really take place on a Monday, or did Jon just want to enjoy a little bit of coffie [sic] for once? You Decide.

246: Head to Tail

==Explanation==
As the author explained, he took the first strip, and looked for a middle panel that started with the same word ("Garfield"), and, upon finding one, looked for a final panel that started with the same word that the middle panel ended with ("try"). The result has no particular narrative to it, but it is interesting.
==The author writes:==
The idea, if it isn't obvious, was to start with the first panel of a Garfield strip, in this case, the first one, then find a second panel that starts with the last word. Not too difficult, in this case; as it happened, the word was "Garfield", and Jon's always yelling his name for one reason or another. But then came finding a third panel that begins with the last word of the second panel. It would have felt like cheating to use a panel that starting with "trying", so I pressed on. As you can see by the dates, this one took a little longer, even with the search...

2470: We stand on fence for thee

==Explanation==
Again Garfield dances, this time on the flag of Canada. Again Garfield falls, because the top edge was waxed. Indeed, No. 2294 has previously proven that strips are not required to make sense, but at least this time, Garfield is dancing on and slipping off of a thing. He identifies it as Canada, though, even though it's just the flag. (No denigration intended, but it is not the country itself, just a symbol of it.)
The title is a play on a recurring line in Canada's national anthem, "O Canada", specifically the English version by Robert Stanley Weir where it's "We stand on guard for thee." First found in the first stanza, it is then twice in the chorus, so on the rare occasion that the second through fourth stanzas are also sung, the phrase is sung nine times.
