1335: Jon's Chat Screen X

==Explanation==
Another ChatMouth strip; in this one, Jon is immediately sniffed out and vicariously insulted by "Madd0x", clearly a stand-in for one George "Maddox" Ouzounian. (This is presumably where the "X" from the title comes from.) Maddox runs the popular website The Best Page in the Universe, which is mostly comprised of rants against various topics, always written in an inflammatory, caustic style. Among them is an article about Garfield's lack of quality, and the dialogue here is compiled from three different statements from said article:
As if one criminally boring comic after another wasn't enough to dull your senses, "Garfield: The Movie" is poised to hit theaters this summer. [Note: the article was originally published in January of 2004.]
'When he's not licensing the hell out of Garfield with toys, bags, napkins, paper cups, socks, and probably tampons, Davis takes a break from whoring out his creation to occasionally write a new strip.
For those of you who never receive greeting cards, Garfield is the orange merchandising turd that creator Jim Davis pinches out every Sunday in newspapers around the world, traumatizing millions with his bland humor week after tragic week.
While Jim Davis is probably fairly used to such statements (if he knows about them at all), Jon is much more vulnerable and simply logs off.
==The author writes:==
The criticism here is cut-up and put into one sentence from Maddox' [sic] website "The Best Page In The Universe," (warning: coarse language) and is from his rant (warning: coarse language) about the Garfield comic strip and Jim Davis. Jim has a pretty resilient ego, but if Jon were hit with this sort of ire, I think he'd fold up into a little ball of cry. [sic]
Based on SRoMG #164, #1272, and #1284.

133: Garklife

==Explanation==
Specifically, the words are from "Girls & Boys".
The first two panels are both from the first panel of the original; the author used two different speech balloons and changed the wall color to green for the second one. In the original first panel, Jon said "Good morning" to Garfield. In the second panel of the original, Jon acquiesced to saying "Good morning" to Pooky, as well, kissing him. This was turned into the third panel, and its speech balloon was removed. The original third panel was entirely removed.
==The author writes:==
This was inspired by Garfield's Inferno, wherein the dialogue was replaced with Dante's Inferno. Obviously, with this strip, I have loftier art in mind.
Original strip from . Words by Damon Albarn, from the album Parklife.

134: 9 Garfield Lane

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
Between efforts to be the most controversial newspaper comic strip (the current storyline has a short, dumpy Supreme Being named Monty deciding he doesn't want humanity in his own image any more so he's redesigning the species to more resemble cockroaches, and he's trying out the design on the pregnancy of Diana, the former-Nun-married-to-a-former-Priest), Brooke McEldowney offers examples of "Hallmarks of Felinity", many of which are perfectly Garfieldian.

1355: Can't Stop Thinking About It

==Explanation==
This strip plays off of a typo in the original ("I can't stop thinking about that ham in the the fridge") by turning it into a sort of mantra for Garfield, as he is quite literally unable to stop thinking about it. In a bit of irony, unbeknownst to him, Jon has already eaten the ham.

135: The Happiest Dog in the World

==Explanation==
The Angriest Dog in the World is a comic strip created by David Lynch, which depicts a dog so angry it can only stand in the same spot in the backyard and growl. The strip usually involves several panels of the dog standing there and growling, while unusual snippets of dialogue can be heard from the people inside the nearby house. Each strip ends with a panel at night, the dog still standing there.
This strip recreates the format of the comic, with Odie as the titular dog and (almost certainly) Garfield as someone inside. However, the comic factors in Odie's typical demeanor, having him stuck in place due to sheer happiness.
==The author writes:==
With apologies to David Lynch.

1364: Garfield Made Slightly Disturbing

==Explanation==
In the original strip, the soup in question was simply "cream of lasagna". In this version, however, Odie has apparently been sacrificed for the sake of a meal, and Garfield is decidedly more placid about having to eat it after learning this. (It fits his character, in a very extreme way).
==The author writes:==
After seeing the original, I replaced "lasagna" with something a bit more disturbing as I read it. I think this mash-up may just be one of the most unsettling and terrifying.
And I still find it amazing that just changing one word can change the entire meaning of a strip.

1367: Garfield Minus Humour

==Explanation==
In short: The author is implying the original strip lacked any humor. Since the result of removing something that isn't there results in a product that is, functionally, identical to the original, the result is the same as Identity Function Garfield.

136: Jon's Boo-Boo

==Explanation==
In the original comic, Jon couldn't feel his legs -- or was pretending he couldn't -- due to compression from Garfield's weight restricting the flow of blood to them. Here, they've actually been severed, and are bleeding profusely, requiring immediate medical attention. Whether Garfield is still assuming Jon is making a fat joke or not is hard to tell.
==The author writes:==
Kind of gruesome, I know.

1374: Dinner

==Explanation==
The author didn't make this strip - it was a result from the "Garkov" strip generator, which uses a Markov chain (which can generate somewhat coherent text) and uses it on Garfield transcripts, and then fits the text into the speech bubbles of an actual strip. This particular result manages to actually make sense - Jon's inability to cook food properly (the transcript casts doubt as to precisely what he was cooking, though in the original it was a pancake) fits with Garfield's question as to whether it is, in fact, edible.
==The author writes:==
This was an amusing result I got from Josh Millard's "Garkov" generator.

1377: Odiefield 2

==Explanation==
Same as 209 but in this strip Odie's dot on the nose is drawn badly. The Garfield font is still there cause the original author typed it. Odie is thrilled to see Garfield again, but as Garfield walks past Odie, their colourations have been swapped again. Now Orange Odie's nose is pink like Garfield's. Yellow Garfield doesn't say, "Well, that's new?" to the readers. Instead Yellow Garfield swears at the readers, and that swear word has been censored by asterisks just to make it appropriate.

139: A Strip. With. A Snail.

==Explanation==
To emphasize the snail's slow speed, the strip is extended to lengthen the time it takes for the snail to respond, complete with Garfield's eyelids steadily drooping.
==The author writes:==
Immediately upon seeing this strip, I thought that elongating it would make it more effective. Initially, it was just nine panels, then I figured that it just. Wasn't. Long. Enough.
It may be true that brevity is the soul of wit, but sometimes, you need to trade in the soul for the effect.

13: Garfocal

==Explanation==
The adjective "focal", according to Merriam-Webster, means to "have central or great importance". Likewise, the "focal point" usually refers to the central figure of an image in photography.
This strip collects several 2007 Garfield strips, arranged so that the focal point is Garfield's unamused face. This is yet another demonstration of the repetitive art style of the comic.

1400: Crying Over Spoiled Milk

==Explanation==
In the original, Jon's contorted face as he held a carton of milk was the only visible result of the smell and/or taste of the spoiled milk. Here, an ambulance is racing by outside, indicating that emergency medical services were needed. Given that the results of drinking spoiled milk isn't usually so severe, it may be inferred that someone really powered through the taste and smell.
The title is a pun on the phrase "crying over spilled milk", meaning worrying about unfortunate events which have already happened and cannot be changed. It is usually found in advice against doing so.

:This article's title is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is 1402: Changefield #7.

==Explanation==
Despite its title, this is actually the eighth strip of the "Changefield" series; this is due to the fifth strip in the series, 657: "Garfield Minus Garfield" Plus Garfield, not being titled or numbered as a numbered "Changefield" strip and throwing off subsequent numbered titles in the series as a result.

1403: Penguin Eater

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield said he'd eaten a lot of birds, and the first kind he mentioned was a penguin. Here, he said he'd eaten a lot of penguins: the first was Pingu from the Swiss stop-motion animation of the same name, and the second was Opus, a character in the comic strip Bloom County. Why this is the breaking point for Nermal's suspension of disbelief is unexplained.

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield smacked Jon because he was whistling off-key, which was a flimsy attempt to excuse his actions. Here, he has no such excuse; he slapped Jon for no real reason. Thus, Jon's cry of "You're mean!" goes without retort, and the comic is left without a real joke.

140: Garfield Plus Tree

==Explanation==
In the original, the tree hoped to be a redwood, so as to be able to support Garfield when he makes good on his "threat" to climb it. (Never mind that normal-looking trees seem to be able to support his weight just fine.) Here, the tree's thought bubble has been removed. The author thinks this would mean that Garfield looks delusional, but it's just as unclear whether Garfield expected the tree to respond in thought in the original strip, especially since Garfield did not counter-respond (e.g. "I heard that!") to the tree's thought.
==The author writes:==
This is merely a "remove one's thought bubble" variant, only this time, it makes Garfield look delusional.

1411: Wonderfield

==Explanation==
In the original, Garfield said it was the Parthenon. He had also made it out of chocolate, a decision that compelled him to eat his multi-day endeavor.
Here, he called it the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, the second of which was destroyed by arson committed by Herostratus. For this crime, he was executed, and, as he was accused of doing it for fame, his name was forbidden to be spoken or written, explaining the author's note. The latter portion of the sentence proved ineffective, as not only was his name found in later records of the crime, but it also became an eponym for people who commit crimes for fame.
==The author writes:==
I'm risking execution to bring you this. I hope you're grateful.

This strip combines the strip often used for the "Donut Wars" meme with the username used by Jon in the strip often used for the "Stephano" meme.

First, each instance of Rock's helmetless sprite has been replaced with a sprite of Odie from the Famicom game Gāfirudo no Isshukan (A Week of Garfield). Next, the name "Rock" has been replaced by the name "Odie". In this strip, Dr. Light/Right has just inadvertently programmed Odie to be an idiot, much as he did with Rock in the original strip.

1438: Corrected Cheese Garfield

==Explanation==
In the original strip, Garfield was the one who said that thought in the second panel. Here, the author corrected it.
This error was later officially acknowledged; the now-defunct garfield.com strip archive carried its error version until so late in its life that most surviving garfield.com-related archives of this strip are of the error version, only putting out an official corrected version not too long before the site was taken down (the Garfield wiki on Fandom carries this rare corrected version here; the timing of the emergence of the official corrected version is what suggests the error did initially make it into Garfield Out to Lunch: His 12th Book). The current main GoComics version and the secure-domain mirror of the smaller-sized former "images.ucomics.com" strips as seen here are still the error version to this day; the former GoComics "Garfield Classics" archive (discontinued on 2023-12-01) features a corrected version (archived here, albeit with the color discrepancies common to GoComics presentations.
