Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip takes the original Garfield strip and reworks the third panel to have a different reaction to the first two; where the original Garfield strip involved Garfield asking Odie if anybody witnessed his actions, this strip has Garfield paying off Odie for making the scene look like an accident.

This Square Root of Minus Garfield notably preceded the trope invoked in this strip being invoked in the canonical Garfield mythos; 2013-09-08 involves Garfield attempting to pay off a dog to invoke the trope on Nermal, only for the dog to back out of the deal upon seeing Nermal with Garfield getting injured instead.
