Explanation[edit | edit source]
The author's note below explains everything perfectly fine, but one thing that should be appended is that the edit satirizes the plot holes introduced by the syndication cuts - here, the Garfields bring up ham out of nowhere, as the transition panel has been omitted.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
For those too young to understand the joke: When a "first run" television show (that is, still having new episodes produced in prime time network television) was released for reruns to syndication (that is, it would be shown sometimes besides prime time on television stations that lacked anything better to put on then reruns), it would frequently have two modifications done to it: First, if it was still being produced, the syndicated version would frequently be retitled (for example, Gunsmoke became Marshal Dillon), and secondly, it would be edited for time (sometimes creating plot holes), since syndicated programming has more advertisements per hour.
Original Square Root of Minus Garfield: #2.

Jon: Garfield, all I think about is Liz...
Garfields: We can't get our minds off that ham in the fridge.
