4598: Return of Lyman

==Explanation==
The author has edited Lyman into the last panel since Jon said he wanted EVERYONE in the photo and it would have been a perfect opportunity to bring Lyman back.
==The author writes:==
Since they were bringing EVERYONE into the photo, I feel that Jim Davis and Paws Inc. missed an opportunity to bring back Lyman for a quick cameo. Certainly makes more sense than the pizza guy, who is hardly even shown.

{Jon and Liz are sitting on a couch, with a camera in front of them}
Jon: Garfield! Odie! Get in here!
Jon: We're taking our Christmas card photo...
Jon: And we want everyone in it!
{Jon and Liz look surprised}
{In the next panel, Garfield has taken his instruction literally and brought EVERYONE into the photo. In addition to him and Odie, he has brought Nermal, Arlene, the purple dog on a chain, a spider, a mouse that may or may not be Squeak, a goldfish in a bowl, and Lyman, who is carrying a pizza}
Jon: Lyman?
Garfield: He's like family

4601: Maximum the Jonmone

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Seeing the original Garfield strip from 2017-12-23 and realizing that Jon wasn't freaked out by those huge pupils of Garfield's and Odie's eyes, my first thought was "Who are you and what did you do with Jon Arbuckle?", so I decided to make this strip to bring our Jon back.

{Jon looks - still unconcerned - at someone off-screen}
{In the third panel it is revealed that Jon was looking at Garfield and Odie; both have their ears perked up, a huge smile and the pupils of their eyes are extraordinarily enlarged}
Jon {smiling and looking at the reader - still unconcerned}: Maximum anticipation has been achieved
{Suddenly Jon's expression changes, starting to realize what he had just seen}
{Jon looks back at Garfield and Odie - who now are off-screen again - ; and seeing that they continue with the same expression, Jon now is quite scared}
Jon: GAAAAH!!

4607: Garfield Minus Informed Preference

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
I wasn't able to pin down what specific trope the original fell under. He says he doesn't want to walk while walking away? Some people on the TVTropes forums suggested Blatant Lies, Unreliable Voiceover, and Informed Attribute, and I think the last of these comes closest.

4609: Be it resolved

==Explanation==
This strip abridges the 2006 New Year's Day original strip, a Sunday strip, to remove Jon's musings about potential New Year's resolutions and get right to the punchline, to suggest Jon not even wanting to bother with New Year's resolutions. The author whipped it up in the first few days of 2021, and even made a reference to that timeframe in the author's notes. Ironically, this strip ran on that year's subsequent New Year's Eve.
==The author writes:==
It's a few days into the new year at the time of writing. Having the same feelings that many others can relate to during the first part of the New Year, I then remembered the original Garfield strip and wondered, "What if Jon didn't even have the optimism to even bother suggesting any New Year resolutions?"
It's amazing how disproportionately Garfield edits consume my time, compared to other, more substantial opportunities in my life. What better way to start 2021, I suppose?
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
Jon: It's New Year's Eve resolution time, Garfield!
Garfield: Go for it
Jon {raising his finger with cautious enthusiasm}: This year, I...
{Jon dejectedly rests his head upon his hand, in a decidedly existential state of despair}
Jon: Heck with it. Wanna order a pizza?
{Garfield clutches his stomach with desperation and eagerness}
Garfield: Make it two!

==Explanation==
Another entry in the "Constantly changing"/Garfield turns into something that sounds a little bit like "minus"/"pudding pops" meme, this strip does nothing to deviate from the formula.
In this case, Garfield changes into Miley Cyrus, a daughter of singer Billy Ray Cyrus and a singer in her own right. She is also known for playing Miley Stewart in the "Hannah Montana" television and movie series.

4616: Garfield Hit's the High Note's

==Explanation==
The original strip said "cat's", an example of what is often called a "greengrocers' apostrophe", which is an apostrophe put before the "s" in non-possessive plurals. The title pokes fun at the practice, even going so far as to put an apostrophe before the "s" that ends the verb. The strip edit, however, fixes it.
The original strip had the eighth note tail-side-up, when its position would, by convention, have it pointing down and extended all the way to the staff, as in the edit. It also lacked ledger lines except for the one it was actually sitting on, so this edit added them in. The transcript has the note, derived from its apparent position, as well as the frequency of such a note.
==The author writes:==
Original strip: .
==Transcript==
{Garfield is standing on a fence}
Garfield: Here's a note only cats can hear
{Garfield sings an eighth note [quaver in British English -Ed] set on an extremely high ledger line, indicating a D9. The paper now has a spiderweb pattern, indicating that it has a resonance frequency of about 8372.018 Hz}
Garfield: It's so high it can shatter paper

4617: Your Opinion Doesn't Matter

==Explanation==
This strip and its corresponding author's notes appears to be a parody of public service announcements taking a jab at the concept of people having opinions. The strip itself has Jon making a jab at the users of the light modes of devices and web sites, implying that those devices' and web sites' dark modes are superior; Garfield turns Jon's thinking around and implies Jon is the one that sucks. The author's notes take a jab at both pineapple and anchoives on pizza, at various fandoms including the unexpected older male fandom of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, genres of music, and people who don't eat meat or even animal-derived products.
This strip is, in fact, an exact rerun of strip #4554 from roughly two months earlier. The only thing different is a single word in the transcript being boldface for this strip where it was non-boldface in #4554. It is presumed that it came about due to what was intended as a revision to the transcript, basically the only difference in presentation between the two strips, resulted in the version with the revised transcript being misfiled as a distinct strip and ended up being run as such.
==The author writes:==
This also applies to people who complain about pizza toppings they don't like (eg pineapple, anchovies), furries/bronies/other fandoms, specific music genres and/or vegetarians/vegans. Among other things, probably.
This has been a public service announcement.

4619: Garfield plus Menswear

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Shetland sweaters, made with wool from the Shetland Islands, are a popular traditional Ivy garment. In this timeline, Jon's mother made or purchased one for Garfield, which spurred his enthusiasm for the #menswear hobby and WAYWT (What Are You Wearing Today). In keeping with the timeless appeal of these sweaters, younger generation compliments have been added along with menswear jargon ("sprezz" is short for "sprezzatura", "studied carelessness, especially as a characteristic quality or style of art or literature" â€“ Oxford Languages, and "trad" is short for "traditional").
One may question Garfield's choice of a scratchy sweater without an undershirt, but years of being licked by Odie have made him used to rough textures.

==Explanation==
In this strip, Jon asks Garfield why he isn't eating his salad. Garfield responded with a "NOPE". followed by a moment of silence. The humor lies in Garfield's straightforward and unapologetic refusal to eat the salad.

4622: Rockin' up MTV

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
John Joseph Merlin is generally credited with the invention of the roller skate. Famously, he debuted them during a ball, at which... well, I'll let Thomas Busby's Concert Room and Orchestra Anecdotes, as quoted on Wikipedia, explain:
:One of his ingenious novelties was a pair of skaites contrived to run on wheels. Supplied with these and a violin, he mixed in the motley group of one of Mrs Cowleys' masquerades at Carlisle House; when not having provided the means of retarding his velocity, or commanding its direction, he impelled himself against a mirror of more than five hundred pounds value, dashed it to atoms, broke his instrument to pieces and wounded himself most severely.
From that episode you might assume he was a somewhat pathetic Jon-like figure, but he seems to have been well-regarded in fashionable London society for his talents and whimsies, if perhaps also indulged as an eccentric. His most visible legacy is an automaton for which he created the clockwork mechanism, a finely sculpted swan on display at the Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, County Durham, United Kingdom.
