3115: What we hate

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
The original strip is perfect to be the subject of a lazy-edit meme.
And don't we all hate produce stickers? Can't we have one type of food that we can just pick up and eat without making a trip to the garbage bin to throw away the packaging? And God help you if you get water on the sticker, 'cause that's never coming off.

3116: When Memes Collide

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
A meme is a unit of cultural information that follows Darwinian evolution; like genes, they must compete with each other in order to avoid extinction.
Usually memes only compete with each other in the metaphorical world of the mind, but here we see a rare example of one meme striking another directly from the timeline.

311: Fishy Story

==Explanation==
In the chronologically-later strip from which the first panel came, the TV announcer goes on to encourage the eating of ugly fish so the planet is less ugly overall; Garfield doesn't think too much of the slogan.
In the earlier one, the time when Garfield turns into a primal beast is during the full moon.
This edit combines the two, making National Ugly Fish Week this time, and culminating in a panel containing an ugly fish.
==The author writes:==
I was looking for various panels to combine together that were similar in theme and hopefully group them together so that I could create my own "Randomised" Garfield. In some cases, only changing one panel can make the comic that much funnier.
This combines the following two strips: , .

3123: Days Till

==Explanation==
In the original strip, the number of times Odie stomped, added to the date, took them all the way to the day after Christmas, Boxing Day, while still identifying it as Christmas. This strip takes two different tacks on correcting this.
In A, the number of "stomps" is left unchanged, but the day Jon says is changed to Boxing Day, which Garfield is oddly eager for.
In B, one "stomp" is removed (and the others on the same line centered) so as to make Christmas be correct after all.
Boxing Day is not generally observed in the United States of America. It has a number of possible origins, none of which are necessary to know for the purposes of the strip.
==The author writes:==

3125: HTMLfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
What you see here is the result of an HTML document conversion. These types of things are often used for converting text documents to HTML. This also works on pictures, apparently. You see, I put a Garfield comic into the converter, and it tried to read the image's text. However, what I got was this. I don't even know how to describe it.
Eventually I found out it's supposed to give you a blank page with the picture on it. The converter mistook the Garfield comic for a document, and converted it to text.
That's all, folks!

3127: Telekinetic Liz

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Garfield sees Liz eating cookies, and Garfield thought if he can pull his big-eyes routine on Liz, he can get a snack out of her. So Garfield stares at Liz with big, cute eyes. Liz stares back at Garfield, but then stares at the viewer. Liz stares at Garfield with big, adorable eyes. Garfield gives Liz with adorable, big eyes his cat food, and he walks up to Jon, with a cup of coffee, pointing at Liz, off-screen saying, "She's good."
In the Square Root of Minus Garfield strip, Liz is eating cookies, and Garfield stares at her with big, cute puppy-dog eyes. Liz stares at Garfield back with the same, adorable eyes while Garfield's go tiny. Garfield's head explodes and Liz stares at the viewer with a smug expression. Garfield's neck smolders into a cloud of smoke.
The author wrote, "After this incident, Jon made Liz promise to use her telekinetic powers only for good."

3128: Remains Gone Horribly Wrong

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
As seen in my other strip named "Remains", Garfield has gone crazy, searching for more Frozen Pudding Pops. But if he was to never eat one ever again? What if he never got to even eat the remains of one ever again? This is what would happen. Starving, he'd think everyone and everything were pudding pops. Worse yet, this is only the first strip where he starts eating everything. And I don't care if this doesn't explain his color change.

312: The End of the Universe I: Heat Death

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield was "The Caped Avenger who searches out evil wherever it may lurk", and who lay back down because he fights late-morning evil. Here, he's "The Caped Avenger who fights the heat death of the universe", and whose reason for lying down again is to reduce the growth of entropy.
The heat death of the universe is a thing which might happen to the universe, depending on various factors. Its relevance here is that, according to the hypothesis, work is converted into heat, so Garfield uses this excuse to do no work.
==The author writes:==
Heat death.
Original:

3130: Gongfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I played Shining Force when I was a wee tyke, and it's still my favorite tactical strategy RPG. Gong isn't the best character in the game, but he's pretty cool. I didn't learn that "gong" was an archaic term for excrement until years later, which weirded me out at the time. To this day, I still think of Gong whenever I see the word; hence, this strip.

3133: Garfield Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition - SD Remix

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
So, for whatever reason, the SRoMG user that originally submitted this obscure strip did so by taking a picture of it with their phone and e-mailing it to themselves like they were a 90s AOL user. In response, I took out my copy of Garfield 2 (it wasn't called A Tale of Two Kitties in the UK, for whatever reason) and decided I would take a picture and upload it in much better quality. Then I found out that it looked like absolute poop on the DVD anyway.
If I didn't know better, I would suggest that the creators of the Garfield 2 DVD were not particularly concerned about their work.
Here it is anyway, partially because it's still ultimately better quality and partly because maybe we can convince a SRoMG user to get the Garfield 2 Blu-ray and upload it in max 1080p magic.
Original strip: none.

313: Shifting Mid-Point

==Explanation==
This author took inspiration from 246: Head to Tail, incorrectly called "Top to Tail" in the author's notes. After an initial misreading of the concept, he decided to do what he thought Nyperold had done.
Any comic with the same concept will always have the same first panel, but the last panel will change daily, while the middle panel will change every other day. For example, this strip's publication was two months and ten days after the date of the last panel's original strip, so duration spent prior to being approved, in slush, and in the queue all affect this. The midpoint will only stop shifting once Garfield is laid to rest.
==The author writes:==
This is inspired by "Top to Tail" #246 by Nyperold. 
My first thought on reading the title was that Nyperold might have taken the first panel of the first strip, the last panel of the current strip, and the middle one of the date midway between the two. 
Then when I realised I was mistaken I thought I'd do it myself. 
This is the first panel of the first strip, the last panel of today's strip, and the middle one of the one midway between the two. Needless to say this rendition will be out of date by the time it comes out of the buffer : )
