4377: Garfield Minus... Odie's Thought?

==Explanation==
Normally, Odie's thoughts are not on display, even though pretty much every animal and some trees have visible thoughts. However, in the original strip for this edit, we can read it... on a strip where we can probably figure it out, anyway. So the edit removes Odie's thought.
==The author writes:==
Quick, see if you can guess what Odie's thinking without looking at the original strip below! (Then go ahead and check the original strip to see if you're right. After all, if you say you guessed correctly, I have no way to verify if you're being honest.)
Also, if you know because you've seen the strip, do you think you could have guessed?

Garfield: Then feed me
Jon: How would you like it if I poked you?!

4378: IT'S BACON!

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This was inspired by the ads for "Beggin' Strips". You know, the ads with the dog that sounds a little like Gilbert Gottfried smelling the bacon strips and running towards it? Those ads?
Don't ask me why Jon would want to smell like bacon. Granted, this IS Jon we're talking about here...
And yes, I know it should be "cologne that SMELLS like edible things", not "cologne that smell like edible things". I thought the plural of cologne was "cologne".

Jon: Eau De Bacon
{Garfield's eyes widen for some reason}

{Odie is standing around in a field panting}
{Suddenly, the dog smells something. Turning around, he thinks to himself...}
Odie: Is that... BACON?
{Odie runs off towards the scent}
Odie: Gotta get that bacon!
{Odie runs down the sidewalk, through the doggy door, and down the hall}
Jon: Well, what do you think?
{Jon doesn't know that Odie is about to pounce on him}
{The next panel reads "THE CARTOONIST HAS ELECTED NOT TO SHOW THIS PANEL DUE TO ITS GRAPHIC NATURE}
{Jon is now soaking wet}
Jon: In hindsight, I think I should avoid cologne that smell like edible things
Garfield: Well, at least you tried something

437: Nermal, the World's Cutest Kitten!

==Explanation==
The author put together a compilation of Nermal with references to him being cute, spanning from his first appearance in 1979 to 1999.
==The author writes==
Nermal, Garfield's constant irritation. The Gladstone Gander counterpart. Given how often Nermal references himself in this manner, is it any wonder why Garfield hates him? After all this, wouldn't you hate him too?

Garfield: Go away, Nermal.
Nermal: Hello there, I'm Nermal, the world's cutest kitten.
Garfield: I know, I know.

4384: Eat the Rich

==Explanation==
As the author's notes imply, the author invokes multiple subtropes of Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma--both No Punctuation Period and Punctuation Changes the Meaning fit in this scenario--by deleting a comma from the original Garfield panel and putting a crown on Jon's head; this changes the context from Jon simply telling Garfield that it was time to eat into a scenario where Jon is asking Garfield to eat him.

Never forget your commas, kids.

4385: Shlockfield

==Explanation==
This strip essentially transplants Garfield into the first edition of Schlock Mercenary, dropping Schlock in favor of Garfield and making use of three different poses from two original Garfield strips to have Garfield properly assume Schlock's role, Garfield using his own claw where Schlock had pulled out a weapon. The author's reasoning for making this strip is sufficiently explained in the author's notes; as the author's notes imply, this is indeed the author's first Square Root of Minus Garfield strip to run.
==The author writes:==
This is the first webcomic I have ever made.
It struck me how similar Garfield and Schlock were; they're both sociopathic blobs who eat enormous amounts and use violence to achieve their goals.

Garfield: Sounds like my kind of fun.
Der Trihs: When can you start?

438: Garfield Over Zero

==Explanation==
In the original 1/0 strip, the panel now occupied by Garfield eating in response to Tailsteak's... dialogue? narration? ...had more dialogue by Petitus and Mock. The final panel here is an edit of the original second panel; Tailsteak's dialogue box, having already been used, was removed, Petitus' eyes were moved, and both Petitus and Mock have new dialogue.
The original Garfield strip continued from this panel with Garfield paraphrasing the Will Rogers quote "I never met a man I didn't like" such that it now refers to lasagna.
==The author writes==
I'm not a big fan of 1/0* (it seems to think itself more insightful than it actually is), but it has a mathematical title, so naturally I had to produce this.
* I say that; I did read the entire archive, although in my defence it was on a Sunday afternoon so I had very little else to do.
Based on the 1/0 strip 932.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Petitus: Dilbertesque critique of the concept of working together: check.
Tailsteak: And how!
Mock: Very nice, yes.
Tailsteak: Time for something lasagna-related.

4396: Lasagna Six (3-20-11-15-6-3-9-6)

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I got the idea for this strip after watching blameitonjorge's video on the Gravity Falls Cipher Hunt from February. Strip #3202 also inspired this strip.
Now let's have some fun. I used four ciphers to encode this strip. See if you can guess what they are. I'll give you a potentially useless and obvious clue: the last one is the A1Z26 cipher. Now try to guess the other three in the correct order!
More info that may assist in solving the ciphers:
I encrypted the text in sequential order, from left-to-right, top-to-bottom per panel; that is, in panel one, for example, I encrypted Jon's dialogue first, then the SFX, then Lyman's dialogue, then the copyright date before moving on to the next panel. If there are cases of letters that have repeating numbers, as everyone says there is, that might be the reason why. Remember, I also used a total of four ciphers, one at a time, so things might appear to be jumbled or repetitive because, as I just now found out while checking on the strip to see if I might've made a typo, this would probably happen when using many ciphers one at a time.

4397: The Nermal Distribution

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I came up with the pun and was surprised no one had used it yet*. I counted the number of strips Nermal appears in per completed year of SRoMG, starting on the 15th November of each year.
The most interesting finding, I think, is that the large number of Nermals in years 3 through 5 corresponds to a certain meme that was making the rounds at the time.
[*It makes a subtle appearance in strip #361. -Ed]

43: Fourier Transformed Garfield

==Explanation==
A Fourier transform is a mathematical technique for processing images to bring out patterns that might otherwise be undetectable by the naked eye. As the author explains, he has taken the source strip and run separate Fourier transforms on the red, green, and blue information it contains.
==The author writes:==
Original strip: 
This is actually moderately interesting from an image processing viewpoint. I Fourier transformed the RGB channels separately and then recombined them.
You can see the strong horizontal frequencies at 3 pixels out from the origin (plus harmonics), corresponding to the panel borders. They have a slight tinge of cyan/yellow to them, indicating the repetitive waves of colour in the background of the original strip. There's some interesting structure in higher horizontal frequencies seen as dark bands running diagonally across the bright vertical lines - that probably corresponds to the text - the angle coming from the slanted horizontal strokes of the characters.
Other than that there's not much structure to be seen.

4400: Stripped Root of Minus Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This took way too long.
To give you an idea of my methods, x=0 is SRoMG #1, x=1 is #2, x=2 is #3, and so on, all the way to x=199, which is #200. Basically, The x coordinate of the strip is equal to the strip's number, minus one, or more concisely, with S for strip, x = S - 1.
Transparency was kept, so if anything was invisible, that's kept. This means that sometimes, a strip will have transparency so it can leak into another. Some strips shorter than the height also do this. One strip (#191 "Garfield Miners Garfield") was too small, and even though it had nothing on its x value, it was included anyways (despite effectively amounting to an empty strip and allowing the prior strip to leak into one more strip). If a strip was longer vertically, it was cropped down to the minimum. All of this results in the first 200 SRoMG strips, condensed into one panel.
I could've theoretically done this for up to strip 600 (the usual width of these strips is up to 600, with 200 per panel), but I don't have the time, patience, or a strong enough computer, so I'll leave that to someone with more business in that.
Now let's hope nobody's done this before...
