5166: Tuesday Morning

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
A pretty simple fix to this strip's problem, just move it back a day. Although, I guess it sort of ruins the joke of "Everybody hates Monday mornings, but not Garfield!" the strip is going for, but I don't know of anybody particularly being a big fan of Tuesday mornings either... Although, I did see a store named "Tuesday Morning" on a trip to Florida once, so I guess there's got to be someone out there, but it's also filed for bankruptcy multiple times according to its Wikipedia page, so that Tuesday Morning Fanclub has probably been dwindling.
Point is, the joke still works well enough. (I hope.)

5175: It's never too late to love again

I still find it incredible the time that had to pass between the 1981-12-19 Garfield strip and the 2006-07-28 Garfield strip for Liz and Jon to finally formalize their relationship, but as the name of this strip indicates, "it's never too late to love again".

5176: Find Out What It Means To Me

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I was startled when #4596 used an unfamiliar panel of Jon saying "respect", so here are all the panels I could find where Jon specifically desires respect from his cat (and perhaps his dog). Whatever strip I expected didn't turn up in this search, so there are plenty more out there where Jon just wants Garfield to take him seriously.

Jon: From now on, I expect to get a little respect around here! Can you remember that?!
Jon: Sometimes I get the feeling you don't respect me
Garfield: Really?
Jon: I want to speak to you about the lack of respect you
Garfield: Second's up
Jon: You don't respect me one teensy bit
Jon: You know, there are times when I honestly feel you don't respect me
Jon: Respect is an important part of a pet-owner relationship, Garfield
Jon: And let's not forget disrespectful
Garfield: My personal favorite
Jon: WHY don't you show me any respect?
Garfield: I do... bonehead
Jon: But do you respect me?

5178: Faces

==Explanation==
In the original, Jon looked expressionless and Garfield's face progressed in the same way as this edit until the penultimate panel. Then, Jon had a closed-mouthed smile before opening and announcing the arrival of the pizza, bringing Garfield's first-panel face back as he thinks it's about time. Here, Jon's face is the same as in the original's final panel, except for the fourth, in which his facial expression matches that of Garfield's. There is no dialogue in the entire edit, and Garfield remains skeletal in the final panel.

Original strip: .

{Jon and Garfield are staring out their window. Both are happy}
{As the panels go on, Garfield slowly grows old and becomes a skeleton while Jon remains happy}

5180: Recursionfield

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
When presented with a wish-granting genie, an ordinary cat might wish for what he wants. A greedy cat might try to wish for more wishes. But it is a very dangerous cat indeed that gets it into his mind to wish for more genies. (Even though, technically, that's exactly what happened in the story that popularised the wish-granting genie in western literature, the tale of Aladdin from the Arabian Nights - the book version of Aladdin actually has two genies, one of which he uses to summon the other, IIRC. At least he did in the version that I read, but given that it was a book for children and a version of a public-domain story, it may have been re-written to be more entertaining.)

{Garfield and Odie run up to Jon, who is reading a newspaper}
Garfield {pointing at Odie's tongue}: Jon, that's not a tongue!
Garfield: It's an alien parasite from outer space!
Garfield: It attached itself to Odie, and sucked out his brain!
{Does Garfield genuinely believe this, or is he just messing with Jon? I think it's the latter, seeing as he looks actually terrified here}
Garfield: Jon, do you hear me?! We have to do something! Jon?!
{Jon turns to face Garfield, revealing that he has become a drooling idiot with an overly-large tongue - or, rather, an alien parasite from outer space that has attached itself to him - too}
Garfield {horrified}: YAAAAHHHHH!

5187: Grafield in Haiku

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I thought I'd do a special strip in tribute to the first strip of SRoMG. I love Grafield so much, and it makes me sad he has a small fanbase. However, upon the discovery of the Friendly Neighborhood Flea's haiku, I was fascinated by it, so I took Grafield's famous appearance in the original Garfield, and converted the dialogue to a haiku for all of your enjoyment! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to swindle folks into buying Animal Crossing items with real money.
Oh, and don't tell my goody-two-shoes brother I stole his email, along with the strip he was working on. Consider this a bonus strip for now. I call it "Garfield in Haiku Minus Dynamite"!

5192: The Carpface and Wheezer Show

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
In college, Jon "Carpface" Arbuckle was known as one of the best of the best amongst the cognoscenti. A pampered, rich playboy, he combined devilishly good looks and a rakish charm to become one of the big men on campus. Years later, upon becoming a major supporting character in a successful comic strip, playing straight man to Garfield and, occasionally, Wheezer, he did his best to cover up his past as the perfect-in-every-way Carpface, as it was simply not as funny as a cat-owning, socially awkward dork.

5193: RIPee

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Paul Reubens, better known as Pee-Wee Herman to many, passed away at age 70 on July 30th, 2023, to the shock of his many, many fans spanning generations. Those of us who saw the CBS Saturday morning lineup between 1988-1991 remember that for those few years his iconic show Pee-Wee's Playhouse (began 1986) shared the schedule with Garfield & Friends (unfortunately there aren't many promos on YouTube spotlighting them both specifically, except this one which has very low volume). Sadly, there apparently never was a promo where they interacted, which would've been a kid's dream back then. Now, I'm sure some of you might imagine Garfield would not get along with Pee-Wee, as he was loud, hyper, and honestly shared a lot of "dorky" traits with Jon... but here's the thing about Garfield that I'm sure longtime fans know: over the years his personality has fluctuated from a grumpy old man to a hyper, fun-loving party animal, and back again. Over and over, depending on the situation and audience. Since during Garfield & Friends his main audience was kids, the party animal persona was more prominent during that era, so I think they would've gotten along just fine... if Garfield was ready to party. And he was. We all were. Saturday rocked.
Sorry if this is more sad than funny but I'm still processing the situation too and I guess creating is one of the better ways to deal with this sort of thing. Rest in peace, Paul. May Pee-Wee ride his bike to the Playhouse in the sky.
