Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip recreates the very first Square Root of Minus Garfield strip from higher-quality resources, then switches out Garfield and puts Haiku from The Loud House into his place. Haiku is portrayed in her original animated form; the live-action adaptation, The Really Loud House, was not yet announced at the time this strip first ran. Garfield's dialogue bubbles were redrawn, somewhat obviously (the one in the second panel was redrawn into space that was originally outside the bounds of the panel), to make it clear Haiku is actually speaking as opposed to Garfield's conveyance of thought. This strip's title reverses the word order from Square Root of Minus Garfield #1 to strengthen the reference.
