Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip essentially involved the authors trying out Square Root of Minus Garfield's own then-recently-implemented randomize button, the workings of which are alluded to in the strip's title. The three randomly-chosen strips' panels were laid out in chronological order; it is unknown if the authors drew the strips in the same order as they are presented in.

The authors had at one point intended to do a different idea; despite linking to 313: Shifting Mid-Point, the author's notes imply that their idea was more along the lines of 1819: Meta Mid-Point due to the mention of Square Root of Minus Garfield strips as opposed to those of Garfield proper (a Garfield-proper shifting mid-point based on the implied timeframe would've implied the usage of the 1996-10-22 and 2015-02-25 strips).

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

I decided to try something new with the randomized strip format; I took the 1st panel from a randomized SRoMG strip, the 2nd panel from another, and the 3rd from yet another.

This was actually originally gonna be a shifting mid-point strip, but strips #1009 and #2108 (the mid-point and latest strips at the time) really didn't allow for that sort of mash-up.

Original Square Root of Minus Garfield strips: 2009-03-16, 2012-04-09, 2015-01-19.
