Explanation[edit | edit source]

The first strip. We're all familiar with it. This edit removes Garfield, but moves the source of Garfield's thoughts to Jon.

If we take the square root of -[Garfield^2] we get Imaginary Garfield [(Garfield)i]. It's like Garfield Minus Garfield, but different.

Here is the imaginary version of the first Garfield 1978-06-19.

Transcript[edit | edit source]
