Explanation[edit | edit source]

In contrast to 5: Qwantzfield, which applies the Dinosaur Comics premise by using the first strip's art to tell the story of a later strip, this one uses the six-panel format of Dinosaur Comics itself, using similar poses. In addition, two throwaway panels, as used in Garfield, are added.

The comic discusses the Furry fandom and the way most media focuses on the sexual behavior of some of its members.

The final panel may refer to otherkin, who identify themselves as non-human.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

In which the Garfield cast enact a Dinosaur Comics pastiche, creating a sort of complement to No. 5 "Qwantzfield".

Art clipped from the strips of 1994-02-14, 1994-04-19, 2001-04-10, 2003-03-24, 2005-03-08, 2005-07-10, and 2007-02-15.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Caption: Square Root of Minus Garfield
Caption: The Garfield parody webcomic that anyone can contribute a strip to
Jon: It's Jonpedia day!
Jon: Today, let's talk about furries. Furries are people who like to dress up as animals. Then they have hot sex with each other while in costume.
Jon: Is that just cool or what?
Odie: Is that really an accurate description of what furries are about? Are you sure you're not perpetuating a distorted perspective introduced by sensationalist media that fixate on a small minority within the furry community and falsely represent them as being representative of the whole?
Garfield: Odie is right, Jon.
Garfield: To most people in furdom, their hobby has no sexual aspect at all.
Jon: That sounds boring.
Garfield: But true.
Jon: The first pillar of Jonpedia is Awesomeness not Truth.
Caption: Meanwhile in a dimension where Jon is a Tyrannosaurus trapped in a man's body:
Jon: ROAR!
