Derivative of (Garfield minus Characters minus Background minus Props minus World minus Date)

Made by: Lightning

Explanation

This "strip", if you can even call it that, is essentially an otherwise-all-white file defaced with a black number zero, with the author's notes punctuating a math-based joke. The "strip"'s author further invokes the Lying Creator trope claiming that they had made use of every original Garfield strip to date at time of submission in creating this "strip", a claim easily refuted by analyzing the finalized "strip". (Even if the author's claim of using every Garfield strip up to point of submission was accurate, it would be impractical to include every such original strip date category, hence no such categories would've been included on this very wiki page in any event.)

The author writes:

Removing all of these things simply leaves the signature, copyright, and panel borders. The derivative of a constant is 0!

Original strip: All of them.
