Funny / Square Root of Minus Garfield

• Garfield making a fire out of Odie. And its sequel.
• The hilariously reversed logic of a book being "broken" as Garfield tries to flip the pages with a TV remote.
• "Woo woo woo!!"
  • All together now!
• Jon dancing through the panels as Garfield watches.
• Mike, Tom and Crow riff the Halloween arc from 1989. Particularly funny moments include:
  • When Garfield comments "What an eerie sensation...", Mike replies, "A Garfield comic that isn't making you laugh? No, that's normal."
  • "Whoa, spooky narrator out of nowhere."
  • Garfield says that there must be a good reason why the house is empty. Crow adds that there also must be a good reason why it's raining indoors.
  • "All Jon's activities must be linked to my food intake."
  • "Aren't the Indiana suburbs lovely this time of year?"
  • When Hallucination Jon offers Garfield some food, Crow points out that Odie's already licking it.
  • "Here's a new diet for you, fatso!"
  • Tom, Crow and Mike's horrified reactions to the creepy close-up of Garfield's eye.
  • After Garfield wakes up and hugs Jon and Odie, we get the narrator blathering on about how powerful an imagination is.
  Tom: That's great and all, but what does that have to do with anything?
  Crow: Astronaut Jon Arbuckle rescued alive, well, and of normal size some eight thousand miles away.
• Garfield slapping Jon's head results in it exploding.
• This strip. Jon's peeking into the third panel is what makes it.
• "We decided to accept that you don't really age - but we're going to give you a candle anyway!"
• This strip, which chains multiple "Jon describes a ludicrous Humiliation Conga" strips into a truly ridiculous piece of Black Comedy.
• "APPLY NUTMEG!!! OH YUM EGGPLANT PREP!!"
• The faithful recreation of the "Meet The Fatheads" scene from Rocko's Modern Life.
  • And its sequel.
• "HELP! MEMES! HELP! MEMES!"
• "I have no freaking idea what happened."
• "I guess you could say he's now a… Christmas spirit." "YEEEAAHHH!!!!"
• This◊ original Garfield strip has Jon struggling to solve a 2-piece puzzle. One-Piecers edits the strip to make Jon look even dumber by having him struggle with a 1-piece puzzle. And then Jon Arrrbuckle makes a pun by having Jon try to solve a 1-piece puzzle with Monkey D. Luffy on it. In other words, a One Piece 1-piece puzzle.
• "It's great to be back on the farm, Garfield. Nothing ever changes. Well, except the wall color, and that's just like home."
• Jon trying to disarm a bomb by blowing on it
• "Do you want a frozen pudding pop? We're making them again!"
• "Big date with Liz tonight. I'm wearing my special tie. Pull this and I explode!"
• "I hope this food is safe to eat."
  • And now, an even better version.
• "Gotta go, I think my cat just died."
• Garfield Plus Mutilation.
• Absent-Minded takes this◊ comic and makes it much funnier simply by removing all of Garfield's thought bubbles.
• Garfield Attempts To Delay The Inevitable is nothing special, except for the author's note:
  MadDogBV: Garfield attempts to be genre savvy enough to prevent another "pudding pop" strip from being created. Nonetheless, I wager it'll be a cold day in hell before this strip sees the light of day. (Ed: It's certainly a cold day in my apartment.)
• A tale of two copyright claims.
  Are you fricking kidding me.
• An Off Model moment made hilarious.
• This strip begins with a warning that the following content may contain elements that aren't suitable for some audiences. In the third panel, we get Garfield picking his nose.
• Darn! *cue explosion*
• This, in which the original strips were translated back and forth between English and another language until it wouldn't translate any more. This was done for Japanese, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Klingon using Google and Bing's respective translation software.
  Garfield: We chookies!
  • The second part did the same thing, but with the first Garfield strip.
    Jon: Baby, newborn, children, garkield, arbuchkle, likob, and chartoonist do you want to enjoy a slop.
    Author's note: "I also had to cut the Klingon translations back a bit because all slop slop Jon would slop talk about slop is slop slop slop."
• Usually, the Zalgo Garfield strips aren't what you would call funny. "Zalgo Garfield Numero Diez", however, makes one out of a strip where Jon and Garfield having a belching contest, turning what is usually scary and disgusting into a gutbustingly hilarious debate, with Jon worshiping Cthulhu and Garfield worshiping Zalgo. The duo's faces are what seal the deal.
• "I'm going out, Garfield. The women will be hysterical over me." *throws Garfield out of a closed window*
  • Later inverted, in a strip where Garfield slams through a window at Mach 5, and is just in time for Jon to talk about how the women will be hysterical over him.
• "That's when I hit my growth spurt."
• This comic based on a Garfield comic generator.
  Nermal: Pets are crazy, am I right?
  Jon: Hmmm... *eats girlfriend*
• "Ooh! It's a letter from our friends!"
  Steve: (closes letter) That's enough of that. I regret everything.
• WAIT! THAT'S LYMAN! HE'S DEAD! Made even funnier by Garfield's reaction to Jon discovering this: just a mere facepalm.
• In contrast to the entries where 7-panel Sunday strips are condensed down into 3-panel weekday strips, (for example, April of No Sundays Collection,) one 3-panel weekday strip was stretched to fit into a 7-panel Sunday strip. The result is surprisingly effective.
• "I’m immature?!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
• The Director's Cut of Back to the Future Part III was very questionable to say the least.
  Mad Dog Tannen: (shocked) Yep, looks like we'll have to eat the cat.
• While the proposition of Garfield becoming sentient and aware of the editors is quite disturbing, the same cannot be said for the transcript when it comes to what Jon is seeing...
  {Jon gets creeped out. Frankly, given what it is, I would be surprised to see a realistic, curly-haired guy in shorts at about 6:45am if I were a cartoon character}
• "[I feel obliged to share that the image for this submission was sent with [the] filename 'why would you willingly buy crash bash.png'.]"
• Meta-wise: On the forums, the creator of "A More Logical Explanation"^note An edit of the "Anyone who doesn't like cats is an alien" strip to make it seem like Garfield was stoned. admitted to being more proud of the fact that it took five years for the strip to be published than the fact that it was the 4200th strip.
• "In Which Cam Is Glad Square Root Has A Ratings Limit" laments that edgy humor is inherently unfunny. "An Edgy Joke" provides a counterexample: So, two faces meet on a solid...
• While "How Will You Be Able To Tell?"^note concerning Jon going insane and murdering the mailman isn't exactly a laugh riot, at one point, Jon gets a phone call from the cops^note who are all suffering from jaundice, and are totally not from The Simpsons openly telling him they're coming to arrest him.
  Jon: (hangs up; nonplussed) I wonder who that was?
  Garfield: (slaps his forehead in exasperation) You are the stupidest insane person alive.
