2077: Garfield & Jon Photo Album

==Explanation==
This strip addresses a perceived flaw in the 2014-09-14 Garfield strip, in which scenes implied to be in the past in a photo album were portrayed with the 2014 art style; indeed, of the five such panels, all but the panel marked 2004 are identical to one another, the panel marked 2004 different only by a presumably-phony mustache (the author called back to a 1994 strip where Garfield was shown drawing such phony mustaches). The author switched the photos for panels from strips from the listed years in the album--a panel from a 1983 strip for the panel marked 1983, one from a 1989 strip for the 1989 panel, and so on and so forth; the mustache from the original strip's "2004" panel was not recreated. Garfield's dialogue in the last panel was also reworded to allude to a known event from the strip's history, believed to be a storyline spanning from late August to late September in 1986 where Garfield and Odie had both run away from home.
==The author writes:==
The second I saw this strip I saw that it did not properly represent the years stated as many fans would see. You can see Garfield (and Jon) change significantly in the first couple of decades that the strip was alive.
I tried to find basic boring blocks of the strips of each year to follow the original strip and remove the speech bubbles, if any. It is interesting to see the intervals of each year per block, but given that Jim only had 5 blocks, he was limited. And did Jon ever have a moustache? Depends how you look at it (ref: ).
The last block, instead of the moustache, I wanted to mention something more significant to the series, like when Garfield ran away from home. I remember reading that portion of the strips when I was younger and everything seemed different after he returned.

==Transcript==
{A series of photos showing how Garfield and Jon have changed over the years}
Jon: Boy, have we ever had boring lives.
Garfield: Oh I don't know... Remember when I ran away?
==Trivia==
1994-04-28 was presumably not intended to be actually given an original strip credit; the remnants of the old crediting system does not list it. It is presumed that the method of transitioning to the current crediting system looked at the entire author's notes, not just the part corresponding to the coding of the old credit system, for links to strips, took note of a link in the author's notes proper, and credited that strip accordingly.

2078: Je suis Garfield

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield was looking in a mirror, seeing Snoopy's reflection. He thinks that it's going to be one of those Mondays.
Here, Garfield says "Je suis Charlie Brown".
"Je suis Charlie" is a slogan by French art director, Joachim Roncin on January 7th, 2015. "Charlie" is in reference to the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, and the statement was made in response to a shooting attack that happened at the magazine's offices earlier on the day of the statement.

2079: If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You

==Explanation==
This is a rather multifaceted strip - hold on tight.
On the surface, this is a call back to strip 1001, which had a similar gag out of Garfield celebrating a strip milestone shortly after it was achieved. This one goes a little farther by changing the sound effect to make the joke more blatant. (Also note the transcript, which makes fun of the illogicality of Garfield apparently searching for the 2000th strip in a random bottle.)
Underneath that, however, is the fact that the original strip (and SRoMG #1001) used a bottle of ketchup catsup, whereas this one uses a bottle of orange soda (DEIDATVM even went so far as to change the last panel so that said liquid wasn't opaque). The reasoning is made clear by its label: "who loves orange soda", the catchphrase of the character Kel on the late 90's Nickelodeon sitcom Kenan & Kel. This subtle gag gets pointed out in a non-obvious fashion in the author's notes, intentionally conflating "who" with the World Health Organization.
Finally, the title is a 1970 song by Caravan (in turn derived from a quote from famous English writer Spike Milligan). 
Now there's something right there.
==The author writes:==
Oh, cool, the World Health Organization loves orange soda.
Based on strip 1001.

207: Reversed Text Garfield

==Explanation==
This edit simply reverses the order of the words in each word bubble. Interestingly, certain punctuation remains attached to the same word, but the terminal punctuation—the question and exclamation marks—in Jon's speech bubbles stays at the end. The between-panel text and Jim Davis's signature is also unedited.

2080: The Woman Who Speaks Only In MadLibs

==Explanation==
ESP, or extrasensory perception, is often associated with psychic powers or seeing the future, as Jon claims to be able to do here. In the original strip, the woman's response was something Jon could not have predicted, but, unwilling to let his pickup line go to waste, he replies that he knew it was coming anyway.
In the edited strip, the woman responds in the form of a Mad Libs. A Mad Libs is a game in which one person prompts a second person for examples of parts of speech with which to complete a text that the second person has not read. The idea is that, when the blanks are all filled in, the first person will read the completed text aloud, with a random and funny result.
The edited strip may be interpreted in several ways. The reader may fill in the blanks as indicated, then read the strip, so that Jon claims that he knew whatever the result would be. This is basically Jim Davis's original intent, but emphasizes the absurdity of Jon's claim.
The reader may also, as the title suggests, take it that the woman is actually saying "(Verb)", (Pl. noun)", etc., and that Jon is claiming that he knew she would respond in that way.
The title is a play on a series of Monty Python skits that include, among others, a man who speaks entirely in anagrams and two men who say only the beginnings or endings of words.
The annotation suggests removing Jon from the original strip, in which case the strip would consist of a woman who sits quietly on a park bench before turning and angrily and elaborately threatening the empty space next to her.
==The author writes:==
As a bonus, the original strip would make an excellent "Garfield Minus Arbuckle". 
Orginal strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: I have ESP.
Jon: I know exactly what you're going to say.
Woman: I'm going to (Verb) your (Pl. noun) over your head and (Verb) them into a (Noun). Then I'm going to (Verb) your (Body part) over your chin, and then I'm going to pull your (Article of clothing) off and (Verb) it up your (Adjective) (Noun).
Jon: I knew that.

2081: Panel Adjustment

==Explanation==
This strip's premise is well-explained in the author's notes.
==The author writes:==
Taking a cue from "Lean on Me" (#665), this comic seeks to focus the centre of rotation on one object. In this case, it's the picture frame. By doing this, a different scenario is formed in this comic compared to the original, though you could still see it as what the original intended to portray.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Garfield sees a tilted picture frame. The panel is tilted at about 20 degrees counter-clockwise}
{Garfield centres the picture frame. The panel is tilted clockwise a bit}
{The scene becomes tilted back in place. The panel becomes tilted back in place}
==Trivia==
*Much in the same fashion as Garfield itself revisited the "crooked picture" gag on , Square Root of Minus Garfield would also revisit the "crooked panel" gag in 2244: Crooked.
**Although neither #665, nor this strip, nor #2244 were cited as potential inspiration, iToons 418: Spinal Cord Futures makes use of a similar setup applied to a 9 Chickweed Lane original strip.

2082: Slightly Saner Garfield

==Explanation==
This strip refers to two of Frank Zappa's children, named Dweezil and Moon Unit. The original strip had Garfield call himself "Moon Unit", and the edit substitutes "Dweezil". The ostensible reason for this, as mentioned in the author commentary, is that the real "Moon Unit" is female, while both Garfield and Dweezil are male.
==The author writes:==
How is he saner in this version? Well, Garfield is delusional in a more accurate gender/sex/pronoun in this version.
Original strip: .

2083: Super Garfield Land 2

==Explanation==
In the original strip, the fish was a regular 'ol goldfish, and its bones lay in the bowl as part of the punchline. Here, the fish is altered to be a Cheep Cheep - a fish enemy from the Mario games - and its bones are replaced with a sprite of a Honebōn. Said enemy is exclusive to the Game Boy installment Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins and is said to be the skeleton of a Cheep Cheep, thus making it an obvious replacement.
==The author writes:==
The Honebōn is a skeletal fish said to be the bones of a Cheep-Cheep.
So, yes, another video game reference. :)

==Explanation==
In this strip, Jon is stuck in the blizzard because he peed there. This was the author's first thought after seeing the original strip.
In the original strip, Jon and Garfield are standing outside in the night, Jon's Aunt Walburga used to say the stars were tiny fairies who float around over them and bring good luck. Then she fell right on the edge of the canyon. Garfield walks away from Jon now.

2085: Garfdub

==Explanation==
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music from the late 1990s. It is frequently associated with the sound "wub", as seen in the third panel; though this effect is only heard in certain strands of the genre.
The other change the author made, not particularly relevant to the title, was to remove Garfield's thought from the second panel, since Garfield's beckoning finger is really enough to tell us what he wants to tell Jon to do.
The description mentions a dead mouse, referencing the famous dubstep producer Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known by his stage name "deadmau5". (It originated from an incident where his computer malfunctioned as a result of a mouse somehow getting in and dying; the shortened title came because "dead mouse" wouldn't fit in his preferred chatroom's eight-character limit.)
==The author writes:==
Something something dead mouse something.

2088: Zalgo Garfield 3

==Explanation==
Four years after the last installment, Zalgo strikes again -- somehow transmitting itself via email to Garfield (complete with customary arcane text, black tentacles, and bloody body horror). 
Of note is that this is the first of the series to be uploaded by the author himself - the first two were submitted by an anonymous person, having found them elsewhere on the Internet. Eventually, somebody noticed that the two both had a watermark reading "evilscary", and thus the actual author was contacted.
==The author writes:==
Admin note: Some years ago a reader submitted two anonymous strips which they'd found in the dark recesses of the net: Zalgo Garfield and Zalgo Garfield 2.

2089: How to Answer "What are you doing?" Without Knowing What You're Doing

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
This joke seems to be used a fair bit from what I checked, so it struck me as something anybody could respond to if they are tasked to answer this question without knowing what they're doing. That's why when I saw this comic, I thought Garfield could answer this and it would still be funny.
Also, when I first saw this comic, I thought Odie walked, but while writing this transcript, I realise they weren't moving at all. Goes to show that by writing transcripts, you will notice more details than you would normally see, if you're the type that needs to write down specific things.

208: Garfield Mosaic 2

==Explanation==
As noted in the author's comments, this is the second Square Root of Minus Garfield mosaic strip. Unlike the previous mosaic, the full version of this one keeps the panels at their original resolution, though it does still use lossy compression. 
Uncolored panels are used for white areas like eyes, but also for Jon's skin and shirt, which in the original strip were light peach and light blue, respectively. Perhaps because of the narrower selection, this mosaic overall has purer colors than the previous one.
==The author writes:==
This mosaic has fewer panels than the previous mosaic, with just 54×41, but has sub-panel detail. (The other one just matched the average colour for each pixel.) Again, a much larger version is available here: 10530×7052 pixels (14.8 megabytes)
The original strip for the mosaic image is from .

2090: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Garfield

==Explanation==
In the *Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* series, a smart galactic hitchhiker is never caught without a towel. Here, Garfield intends to hitchhike to the Restaurant (a location in that series) and pay for his meal with Jon's credit card.
Sass, hoopy, and frood are all slang from the series.
The series begins with the Vogons blowing up Earth. It's revealed that the dolphins escaped shortly before the destruction, with a final message to humanity of "So long, and thanks for all the fish."
==The author writes:==
You sass that hoopy Garfield? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.

==Explanation==
The framing, re-outlining, and recoloring of Odie's tongue in the second panel, as well as Garfield's remark in the third, are a reference to Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.

2094: Disaster Days

==Explanation==
(The following was written by Lubaf, the author of the strip)
The author's comment explains most of the strip, but a few questions occur:
* Why in chronological order?
** Because I think the Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking trope is a bit too common; the intent here was to feel like I'd tried to pull a fast one by including the weak item in the middle.
* Why leave it as is?
** As the author's note implies, both the actual disasters were the result of management apathy about safety, and the movie chosen shows a similar level of apathy towards quality, so the strip showing equal levels of apathy about accuracy was probably fitting.
* Why "Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel"?
** I needed a movie released between the two disasters whose name was suitable as a punchline; "Squeakquel" was chosen for being the option with the title that sounded most like a punchline, and highest budget (an estimated $75 million) of the available movies.
==The author writes:==
I'm sometimes curious as to what Garfields ran on the date of certain disasters, so here are three panels from the Garfields that ran on the dates of three major man-made disasters: The Challenger explosion, the premiere of Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel, and the beginning of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Original Strips: , , .
Edit by the author, after his mistake was pointed out shortly after release of this strip in this thread: In keeping with this particular strip's themes, it turns out I used the wrong date for one of the strips above: Instead of the intended April 20th, 2010, I instead accidentally used the strip from , a day on which nothing particularly disastrous happened. After consideration, I have decided to leave the strip as is, in keeping with all three disasters being the result of slipshod quality control and bad management practices.
==Transcript==
Garfield: It's fun to lie here and muse on the meaning of life.
Jon: {on phone} Ohh... That's too bad.
Garfield: Heck, I need an audience.
