5108: A Week In A Day 2

:This article's title is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is 5108: A Week In A Day #2.
----
==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
One of my favorite ideas for a SRoMG comic is #127. The idea of a whole Sunday strip in three panels is widely explored, but the idea of a whole week in one Sunday strip is far less explored. It's the right number of panels, even, if you borrow the title panel from the Sunday strip.
To challenge myself, I picked a random week with a Sunday strip I thought I could simplify to one panel. It was a bit harder than I expected - I imagine this format works best with the later strips as the punchlines simplify.

5109: Think

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Despite the contention of some that Jon is just really good at reading Garfield's body language, a number of strips make it clear that Jon is hearing Garfield's thoughts a lot of the time. By contrast, Garfield almost never speaks, be it English or cat. Oddly, Odie's thoughts are almost never reported, but he is capable of it.

510: Garfield Pine Nuts Garfield

==Explanation==
Yet another "Constantly changing"/Garfield changes into something that sounds a little bit like "minus"/"pudding pops" strip, this one changes Garfield into a bag of pine nuts.
Pine nuts are the edible seeds of pines with seeds big enough to be worth harvesting. They are frequently added to meat, fish, salads and vegetable dishes or baked into bread. Also, they can be extracted to produce oil with a mild, nutty flavor. One study indicates that Korean pine nut oil may suppress appetite; if true, Garfield could use this, even if he doesn't realize it.
==The author writes:==
Because after running the "Garfield Linus Garfield" gag into the ground, it seemed the next closest rhyme.

5111: Another Internet Argument

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Now, before the worst people on either sides interpret this as agreeing with the other side and try to kill me for blasphemy, know that I took the order the pronunciations appear in from the Wikipedia article on the pronunciation of GIF.
Also remember that language is imaginary and this argument is pointless.

5112: Lawrence Welkenstein

==Explanation==
As explained in the author's notes, the monster's line from the original inspired the creation of this work. Upon seeing this line, the author's mind immediately brought up legendary bandleader Lawrence Welk, and the pieces fell into place from there. The bubble machine is intended to invoke the bubbles signature to the opening of The Lawrence Welk Show, and the baton is naturally intended to allow the monster to strike up a band much like a bandleader such as Mr. Welk would.
The apology to the musical family in the author's notes was added just in case any of The Lawrence Welk Show's vast supporting cast or their families were to see the piece and take offense to it.
==The author writes:==
Once I saw the monster's line, I knew what had to be done...
Apologies to any member of the musical family, whether or not they actually knew Mr. Welk personally, who ends up seeing this...

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I thought about including a picture of the idol of Diana (also called Artemis) herself, but didn't think it would pass the PG rating the site requires... If you squint and turn your head, you can see Demetrius holding one, maybe giving you an idea of what a fifty foot tall version looks like.

{Garfield shows off his oddly not very shiny, sort of dull and bland, silver shrine, must be the light angle or something, not because the artist could not be troubled to change the color, oh no...}

Garfield: It took days...
Garfield: Great is Diana of the Ephesians
{Suddenly a Sunday School lesson bursts upon the scene! Demetrius, the silversmith of Ephesus, is looking out for the bottom line, er, the glory of his patron goddess!}
Text: And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. Acts 19:23-28

511: Garfield Plus 88 mph

==Explanation==
The original strip was from October 25th, 1985 - which, in the chronology of the Back to the Future movies, was the date that Dr. Emmett Brown first tested his DeLorean time machine (which, as the title alludes to, must get up to 88 miles per hour in order to actually time travel). This edit replaces the giant yarnball in the last panel with said car, and the author's notes recreates Brown and Marty McFly's conversation immediately after the DeLorean first vanishes (with the former's dog inside).
==The author writes:==
Jon: "Jesus Christ Garfield, you disintegrated Nermal!" Garfield: "Calm down Jon, I didn't disintegrate anything. The molecular structure of both Nermal and the car are completely intact!"
Original strip from , the day that Dr Emmett Brown first successfully tested his time machine.
==Transcript==

512: Drugs Will Ruin Your Brain

==Explanation==
This comic points out a possible continuity error in Garfield (strange as that may sound) - a strip in 1978 shows Garfield smoking Jon's pipe, yet another one two years later has Garfield referring to smoking as if he hadn't ever done it. The title and author's notes imply the substance in the pipe induced brain damage that, in turn, caused him to forget this event.
==The author writes:==
I don't know what Garfield was smoking in 1978, but it certainly did something to his memory.
Catnip, maybe?

5130: G-a-r-f-i-e-l-d through the decades

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Following the evolution of Jim Davis's lettering over the years, as displayed in the name of his star feline. The specific dates chosen each year have no meaning (though obviously I picked the first strip ever), I just picked at quasi-random using the search engine at lasagna.cz to find strips where someone said Garfield's name. I avoided Sundays in case there were scaling inconsistencies. I also avoided yelling and other textual effects.
I certainly expected the early lettering to vary within each year, but the '80s surprised me with just how inconsistent the line thickness was. The text seems to be hand-lettered through 2008 at a minimum. You can see variation in 2013 and 2018 if you focus on e.g. the Rs and Ls, but I couldn't say how much of that might be down to antialiasing etc.
Next time you're adding or moving around text in a submission and you feel self-conscious about how fake it looks, look at 1988-07-27.

5133: Zalgo Garfield Minus Garfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Parodies like Garfield Minus Garfield and the Zalgo meme, which are mashed together in this strip, were initially subversive of the banality of Garfield comics, injecting them with themes of existentialism and absurdity. These many years later, however, these tropes have been around so long that they have themselves become a cultural institution to be subverted.
As new Zalgo memes continue to emerge nearly twenty years after their initial coinage, I suspect that most new iterations are met with the same response as the Zalgoan tentacle emerging in this strip: a resounding silence.
