Explanation[edit | edit source]

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

[Destructible Watermelon:] this was found on the Wikipedia page for Garfield.

it had this caption:

"The appearance of the characters gradually changed over time.[17] The left panel is taken from the March 7, 1980 strip; the right is from the July 6, 1990 strip."

the two panels appear to be intended to compare the art from two years, but you could also look at it like a two panel strip.

[Sage Haba:] Not sure if this is allowed, but the panels chosen for Garfield's Wikipedia always tickled me.

Original strips: 1980-03-07, 1990-07-06.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Jon {holding a turkey leg aloft as Garfield stares at it with interest}: Come on, kitty. Sing your song
{As Jon bites into a chocolate bar, Garfield suddenly stands up and waves his arms in the air}
Garfield: I confess!

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The link to the reference labeled as [17] on the Garfield Wikipedia page actually led to reference #17 at the time the strip first ran; the link on the Square Root of Minus Garfield strip page no longer works as intended due to said reference being reference #9 as of February 2024 (it would read as [9] were the author's notes to reflect that positioning). As the author's notes still read with the original reference to reference #17, it still reads as portrayed, but the link on this wiki has been reworked to reach the intended reference. A permanent link to the reference as originally portrayed can be seen here on a permanent copy of the revision of the Wikipedia page current as of when this strip first ran.
