2199: Bubba

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Jon and Garfield were shocked to see a waiter, but not Irma cause she's on vacation. Jon asks the waiter if he will be cooking their food, but the waiter says no. Jon and Garfield will have the "Spanish Special" The waiter tells Bubba to give them two tacos and go light on the flies. Jon and Garfield were utterly shocked by the huge Bubba. 
In this Square Root of Minus Garfield edit, Bubba was replaced by Bubba from Forrest Gump. The author's not that good at Photoshop, and he used Comic Sans font to replace "flies" with "shrimp". He wanted to use the Bubba image from Forrest Gump and put him in the comic but he tried to work on the lines. The author's not good at drawing the lines, either.
==The author writes:==
Yeah, I'm not that good at Photoshop
Original strip:

Waiter: Ready to order? 
Jon: Where's Irma? 
Waiter: On vacation
Jon: Uh, will you be cooking our food? 
Waiter: Nope
Jon: In that case, we'll have the "Spanish Special"
Waiter: Tacos for two, and go light on the shrimp this time, Bubba

219: Gracefield

==Explanation==
In the original El Goonish Shive strip, the animal in the last panel was Jeremy, a cat with hedgehog spines. Here, it's Garfield, taken from a strip in which Jon asked Garfield why he didn't catch mice, and what power they had over him. (Tiny little incriminating photographs.)
==The author writes:==
Garfield strip: 
El Goonish Shive strip: 2002-05-13
In this alternate universe version of EGS, Grace's brothers are capable of transforming into lasagne.
(El Goonish Shive and associated characters are copyright Dan Shive, and are used here only as a vehicle for parody.)
==Transcript==
Tedd: Well, it was an interesting idea, but seeing as using the transformation gun on you basically gives you a new form that you can access at will, it's probably safe to say that we can't use the gun against your brothers...
Grace: ... No, we can... indirectly.
Tedd: Huh?
Grace: Tedd, of all the animals that gun can mix me with, which form is the best when it comes to combat?
Tedd: That would be his. {pointing}
Grace: Huh?
{Garfield sitting on the floor where Tedd is pointing}

21: NESfield

==Explanation==
Instead of a real comic, this strip is a sprite sheet of the Japan-only Famicom (or NES) game A Week of Garfield, made to assist others in making sprite-based SRoMG comics.
The author's note links to a (not at all positive) review of the game from Something Awful.
==The author writes:==
This is a sprite sheet of the Garfield, Odie, and Jon sprites and other useful bits from the game Garfield: A Week of Garfield for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game was only released in Japan.
Please feel free to use these sprite images to make comics for Square Root of Minus Garfield!
==Trivia==
* This strip has no transcript.

2200: Vine

==Explanation==
Vine is a video app by Twitter; much as regular Twitter has a small character limit per tweet, Vine has a length limit of six seconds per clip.
The original, of course, did not move, and what Jon noticed was that the dinner looked like his; here, the dinner is seen being eaten, and Jon notices that it's a Vine video.
==The author writes:==
Suggested by Nyperold here.
In other news, I've learned somewhere that drawing a hand holding a phone with a pinky underneath makes it seem more natural. But I'm not sure "natural" is what Garfield is going for.
Original strip: .

{On Jon's phone: A different photo of a dish of cat food}
{Another photo of a dish of cat food}

2201: Frozen Stiff

==Explanation==
The original strip had Garfield joining Jon in the pool or ocean or whatever this body of water is supposed to be (the punchline being that Garfield can float on the water). In this version, however, he does not do so for reasons explained in the author's note.
==The author writes:==
While flipping through Garfield comics one day, I suddenly realised that there was a comic about swimming... a mere week before Christmas. Best I can figure is that the strip was intended for summer, but a scheduling error caused it to appear in a pack of winter themed comics. Either that or Jon's just a masochist.

2202: 3 Months or 3,000 Lasagnas

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
While duct tape has many amazing uses, it is ill-suited for repairs of companion animals. Should your pet spring an oil leak, don't try to patch it up yourself, as Jon has here. Instead, take your pet to a licensed repair technician as soon as possible. Low oil pressure can lower your furry friend's quality of life and cause further, more expensive damage.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==

Jon: I'm still not taking you in to get that leak fixed, Garfield.
Garfield: {from offscreen stage left} Cheapskate.

2203: Doubly Comfortable

==Explanation==
In the original Garfield strip, Jon was seeing a pan of lasagna here, but now it's gone, and Jon asked Garfield where the lasagna is, and where the pan is. Garfield said the lasagna is resting comfortably and the pan is resting not so comfortably.
Here, Jon was seeing lasagna and Odie here, but now it's gone and so is Odie. Jon asked Garfield where the lasagna is, and Garfield said the lasagna is resting comfortably. Jon asked Garfield where Odie is, and Garfield said Odie is resting very, very comfortably while holding his stomach in one hand.
The author has based this off of many other Square Root of Minus Garfield comics that became dark, like 178 or 51. He decided to take his spin on one of these with a widely-used comic, of course.

2205: Super Garfield 3D World

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield whacked Jon in the head, making him see quintuple. Here, Garfield is holding a Double Cherry from the Wii U game Super Mario 3D World, referenced in the title. The item can make up to five clones, so Garfield isn't quite using it to its full potential, but pretty close.

2208: Apocalypse Meow

==Explanation==
This strip takes the final panel of the original Garfield strip, originally involving Garfield waking up in a distant future depicting a parked flying car, and switches in a scene from Army of Darkness's alternate ending to depict Garfield living in a post-apocalyptic future. The strip's title is a reference to Apocalypse Now, another film involving an apocalyptic outcome.
==The author writes:==
That final image is from the alternate ending to Army of Darkness, for the record.

2209: Garfield and translation bad slowly

==Explanation==
Mostly well-explained in the author's notes; although this would not have affected the net result, it is unknown if the author either did not count the title panel at all, or counted the title panel as zero for purposes of the progression of the gag.
==The author writes:==
With each panel, I am dictionary. in a text, Japan timeWith the seventh panel translated with comTranslater, it is translated text, the back number of times.
(With each panel, I translated the text into Japanese and back one more time using the Dictionary.com translater, so by the seventh panel, the text has been translated and back seven times.) The title is "Garfield plus progressively bad translation" translated into Japanese and back.

220: Mirror-Image Garfield

==Explanation==
Like the author says, the punchline of the comic (Garfield encountering a mirror of himself) is expanded to the entire strip by overlaying a mirrored version of the strip onto it.
==The author writes:==
Since only the final panel in the original version of this strip is mirror-imaged, I thought "Hey, why not apply that to the entire comic?" For some reason, the music video for "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon keeps popping up in my head every time I see the original strip (from , by the way).

2212: Try Not To Rush

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield was being bored to death by Jon recounting his day, imagining him as various animals. In this version, Jon is replaced with Alex Lifeson, the guitarist for Canadian rock band Rush (hence the title, which is also similar to that of the 2112th strip of Questionable Content, which is referenced in the author's comments). He continues to say "blah" throughout, referencing the speech he gave when the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 - it was three minutes of "blah blah blah". Garfield is inexplicably enraptured by this.
The title panel is an homage to for their fourth studio album 2112 - which is surprisingly close to the comic's number, a fact acknowledged by David Morgan-Mar.
==The author writes:==
Garfield seems questionably content here.

2213: Garfield Plus an Absolutely Horrible Movie

==Explanation==
This comic is an obvious jab at Foodfight!, an animated movie that can best be described as "Toy Story with food mascots". The film centers on one such mascot, Dex Dogtective, who teams up with a few residents of their supermarket city to prevent an antagonistic mascot from taking over their home. The film became notorious for its development history; originally slated for a 2003 release, it instead languished in development hell for a period of nine years before being released in 2012, during which time several licenses lapsed and technology became increasingly advanced -- by the time of its release, the film's visuals became notably dated, as seen here. In addition, the film was criticized for its obvious product placement, as well as its story, which allegedly includes double entendres and Nazi overtones. Oh, and the movie itself is supposedly a reference to Casablanca.
==Description==
I have never been able to read the phrase "Food Fight" the same since... THAT...
Original strip: .

Garfield: I can't possibly eat all this food. It's time for a...FOOD FIGHT!

2214: Square Root of Minus Garfield in 2053

== Explanation ==
Of course, what would Garfield in 2053 be without Square Root of Minus Garfield in 2053?
Whereas Garfield in 2053 simply reuses the same image of Garfield for all three panels, SRoMG in 2053 takes it several steps further. Like the former, SRoMG in 2053 is meant to satirize common aspects of its fore-bearer (apparently, it will reach 16,250 strips by 2053); the author's notes below already explain this sufficiently enough.
== The author writes ==
After I saw strip 2079, I got reminded of this idea.
Self-Deprecation is a trope I think we could use more here. Aside from the obvious route of mocking poorly done edits, that is, because I would rather not see somebody get mocked like that.
So, enter SRoMG in 2053, where all the simple mashups have been depleted, any meme is ran to the ground in mere days, and the best you get are mashups that really require you to think, making it a Moon Logic Puzzle just to understand it. At this point, the strip begins to rip off previous strips, in an attempt to stay alive, and keep up its daily rate.
It goes as well as you expect, as you can see here.
Original strip: .

2215: Taco Tuesday

==Explanation==
Rainbow Rocks (full title: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks) is a 2014 limited theatrical release film based on the G4 My Little Pony cartoon and toyline. The character shown in the strip, Sonata Dusk, was one of the three antagonists of the film, known as the Dazzlings. Being a little on the screwy side, her response to Adagio's (another of the villains) question of whether she knew what day it was went "It's Taco Tuesday!" hence her taco fetish shown in the comic.
==The author writes==
Saw the Rainbow Rocks movie, heard the "Taco Tuesday" line, knew what had to be done.

Sometimes, my mind goes to weird places upon seeing an original Garfield strip.

2219: Girlfriend

==Explanation==
Well-explained in the author's notes.
==The author writes:==
Whenever I read the Arlene strip at the top, I always read the line "Jon thinks you're my girlfriend," as "Jon thinks you're my Garfield." The words do look similar. Here I've taken a bunch of strips with the word "girlfriend" in them and replaced it with "Garfield". Also, if the strip had the word "Garfield" in it, I replaced it with "girlfriend". Most of them are just one panel, but for some I left the whole strip in because the whole strip takes on a new meaning. In the last one, if Jon is happy for his Garfield, what made him depressed? His girlfriend?
