Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original Garfield strip, Garfield the Cat introduces his new college intern, Biff the cat. Biff waves to the reader. Then Garfield sits there while Biff doesn't do anything. Biff asks Garfield if there is something he should be doing. Then Garfield tells Biff that he's got a lot to learn about being a cat while ignoring Biff.

In this Square Root of Minus Garfield strip, Biff the cat has been replaced by Biff Tannen, from Back to the Future, and Garfield the Cat introduces his new high school intern, Biff Tannen. Biff Tannen tells the reader what they are looking at while silently mugging for the reader while Garfield sits there. Garfield tells Biff Tannen that he's got a lot to learn about time travel.

The author was going through the SRoMG archives when he saw 2309: Garfield's Intern and from there he looked at the original strip. The author is a huge Back to the Future fan, so he knew what he had to do. The author apologizes that Biff looks weird. He says he's not very good at using Photoshop, which is a good thing, because he used GIMP for it, but he's not very good at using GIMP either.

Biff Tannen from Back to the Future belongs to Universal Studios.

The author writes[edit | edit source]

I was going through the archives when I saw #2309 and from there I looked at the original. As a huge fan of Back to the Future, I knew what I had to do.

Sorry if Biff looks weird. I'm not very good at Photoshop. Which is good, because I used GIMP, but I'm not very good at that, either.

Original strip: 1998-05-04.
