5014: Square Root of Minus Garfield Left Speechless

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Garfield Left Speechless: Comics Without Words is an official Garfield comic collection from 2012. It's a compilation of mostly silent comics (although some have sound effects and minor lines such as "uh-oh"). Interestingly, some of the comics were not originally silent, but had the dialogue removed, and their jokes work just as well. This is an idea we've featured a few times on SRoMG, going as far back as "Silent-Era Garfield" in 2008.
Garfield Left Speechless contains two original comics, one at the start of the book and another at the end. I've never seen these before, so I decided to send them in. I got the scans from archive.org, then edited them together and rotated the panels upright.
==Transcript==
{Garfield is painting a yellow line on the floor to separate it. Odie, who looks shocked, and Jon, who is displeased, are on the opposite side. Garfield's side has the TV set, chair, Pooky, and snacks}
{Odie lounges on a fancy chair, wearing a robe and smoking a pipe. He sits in a room full of parts of various vehicles mounted on the wall akin to hunting trophies}

5015: Balloon!

==Explanation==
Instead of screaming about the balloon, Jon remained silent and watched the balloon. After two panels of Jon watching the balloon, the balloon smiles, shocking Jon.
==The author writes:==
Now, I know that Jon is a bit of a ninny, but screaming his lungs out because of a balloon? I think it's too much, even for his standards. So I took the liberty to change the strip into something tamer and more on the "uh-oh!" side.

5017: Set It To Reverse, Jon (featuring Snoopy from Peanuts)

:This article's title is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is 5017: Set It To Reverse, Jon [featuring Snoopy from Peanuts].
----
==Explanation==
The original strip was a tribute to Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz, and ran on what would have been his 100th birthday. This remix turns the premise into a series of jabs toward Schulz and Peanuts, and was further punctuated by running on the 23rd anniversary of Schulz's death. The editor's note is a standard-issue one that appears whenever the remixed strip appears to be too rife with jabs that could unsettle readers.
==The author writes:==
I detest sentimentality, and the original strip overflowed with it. So, let's try and see what the exact opposite of sentimentality looks like.

==Transcript==
Jon {reading from a book}: Once upon a time, there was a boy named Sparky who created a comic strip with very simple art.
Jon: Nobody ever found it funny, and it was so bland nobody ever objected.
Jon: And he died the day before his retirement strip ran.
Garfield {to Snoopy, holding a 100th birthday cake}: I always admired how completely you sold out, dawg.

5018: The Unkindest Cut

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I check in on a week's worth of Garfield for the first time in forever and I'm hit with a wall of LAME.
Garfield doesn't chase mice with any intent to harm. The mice know this. This mouse was clearly looking for something to do and wanted to play chase. Here, Garfield shuts him down hard with cool indifference, and the mouse walks away disappointed. A much better story — well, slightly better story — than what we got.

Mouse: Feel like chasing me?
Garfield: No
Mouse: Awww
Garfield: See you
Garfield {smirking}: Sometimes nature is cruel

5019: Hank Minus Legs

==Explanation==
The original strip involved Hank invoking the "cost an arm and a leg" bit, but without having lost any visible limbs and the stated dialogue stopping after four limbs (an arm and three legs); an ellipsis was present there to imply an off-panel continuation of the dialogue. This remix strips Hank of all of his limbs, and extends the dialogue to visibly cover all eight of a spider's limbs (an arm and seven legs).
==The author writes:==
Found this one while reading through the forums and felt thoroughly disappointed by its inaccuracy. Took the joke to its extreme.
Hope the bouquet was worth it.
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Spider: What did you get your wife for Valentine's Day, Hank?
Hank: A bouquet of dead gnats
Spider: Wow, that must have cost you plenty!
Hank: Yeah, it did
Hank: It cost me an arm and a leg, and a leg, and a leg, and a leg, and a leg, and a leg, and a leg
{Hank has no legs}
==Trivia==
The author's notes initially had the word "accuracy" at the end of the initial sentence instead of the intended word; this has since been fixed.

5021: Donut Wars - Nermal

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Nermal isn't exactly known for stealing food. Obviously, Garfield blamed him.
Odie has stolen Jon's food occasionally (though not nearly as often as Garfield does), so SRoMG #1281 is more believable. Except I don't think Odie can write.
Original strip: .

5024: Mario the Fun Talker

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
For the record, I love it when Mario talks, because he is such a joyous character to listen to, charismatic even. It's why Super Mario Advance is a delight, because the characters talk non-stop, so it's a shame that no other Mario game had Mario talk in this capacity, save for maybe Mario vs. Donkey Kong. However, that does not deny the fact that some people find his constant talking to be overbearing, which this cartoon is meant to highlight.
Still, it's been a long time since my last submission, so I wonder if I still got that touch.
If you want to create your own version of the strip, I have a template here, where the mime is removed, as well as the speech balloons so you can enter your version of the strip.

{Mario leaves, but he finishes his earlier talk with "...and he said, oo-oo-oo-oo ah-ah-ah, something like that."}
Garfield: I hate it when Mario talks too much

5026: Watch Where You Toss That Thing!

==Explanation==
This submission was inspired by the author musing just what might happen to the wadded-up paper after Garfield tossed it aside. The idea of Garfield not knowing his own strength fell into place from there, and the actual creation of the piece followed.
2022-09-28 unaltered begins the narrative, followed by a fourth panel featuring a heavily altered panel from 1981-03-29 as a base and Lyman lifted from 1983-04-24 to be the victim.
Although the author had already brainstormed some potential ideas to turn into Square Root of Minus Garfield and iToons submissions, none of those brainstorms had been fully created at the time, thus this is the author's first submission and debut piece, launching the career of the creator of the lamest content Square Root of Minus Garfield and iToons has ever seen. 
==The author writes:==
Maybe Garfield should have taken a look at his surroundings before he thought about tossing that piece of paper? He really doesn't know his own strength...

5034: Looks Like An Ins-eyed Job

==Explanation==
The holes in Swiss cheese are called "eyes".
==The author writes:==
Garfield's explanation of the cheese as "rent" bothers me. That cheese was probably bought by Jon in the first place. If you lived in an apartment, and stole the landlord's money, would he accept a partial repayment of it as "rent"? I prefer my explanation, especially as only Garfield would want to consume it anyway after it's had contact with mice.

503: Garfield Plus Jim Davis' Ego

==Explanation==
The author's edits are as follows:
* Remove the throwaway first row.
* Remove the penultimate fifth panel, but save the thought balloon, and move the last panel to its place.
* Put a picture of Jim Davis in the last panel's place, and put the thought balloon there, pointing the bubbles at him.
In the original strip, Garfield's thought about his gag was just about hitting the backrest so the footrest will kick Odie. But Jim Davis is the cartoonist here; is he not responsible for every thought, every action that the characters take? By having Garfield praise his own gag, Jim is really praising his own gag, including the part where Odie turns it around on him. This edit reflects that line of thought by putting Garfield's thought in Jim's head.
==The author writes:==
Original strip from .
==Transcript==
Garfield: Well, well, well. Odie's sitting in front of the recliner. Let's have some fun, shall we? Watch this!
{Garfield runs at the recliner, jumps over Odie's head and lands on the recliner's backrest. This causes the footrest at the front of the recliner to fold out, WHAPing Odie across the room. Odie marches back and smacks the footrest closed, causing the backrest to fly back into the upright position and Garfield to fly through the air.}
Jim Davis: {sitting at a drawing desk} I hate to brag, but it took a brilliant mind to figure that gag out.

5040: Garfield to the Moon, by Airplane to the Rocket, by Taxi to the Airport, by Pet Door to the Taxi, by Throwing Back the Blanket Hanging Down the Paws

==Explanation==
The title, as well as every sentence in the author note and transcript, is a reference to a They Might Be Giants song.
* The title: "Destination Moon"
* "I want to see Garfield again, slowly twisting in the wind": "Twisting"
* "If you've got lasagna, boy, forget about it": "(She Was A) Hotel Detective"
* "Garfield should get beat up for stating his beliefs": "Shoehorn with Teeth"
* "This cookie jar is protected by Viper": "I Can Hear You"
* "God forbid a vaguer reference": "On Earth My Nina"
* "Jon and Garfield are having a good time": "We're The Replacements"
* "The wall is a stormy pink": "Stormy Pinkness"
* "No-one ever seems to care if it's not": "Hey, Mr. DJ, I Thought You Said We Had A Deal"
* "ninety-three miles times a million more": "Moving to the Sun"
* "flying high above the sky": "For Science"
* "a huge atom-smashing machine": "Why Does The Sun Shine? (The Sun Is A Mass Of Incandescent Gas)"
* "Nothing gets said": "Cabbagetown"
* "Manhattan sinks under the sea": "I'll Sink Manhattan"
* "mass culture references": "The World's Address (Joshua Fried Remix)"
The comic itself, however, is just a simple edit of 2011-11-12, where Garfield launching into the air is caused by nothing, and Jon does not react in the slightest.
==The author writes:==
I want to see Garfield again, slowly twisting in the wind (though his head in a recliner seat will do). If you've got lasagna, boy, forget about it. Garfield should get beat up for stating his beliefs. This cookie jar is protected by Viper. God forbid a vaguer reference.
