TechnoGarfield: Let's Kick Garfield!

Made by: Dr. Manny

Explanation

The title of this strip is another reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time; unlike most previous strips with Turtles in Time references in the title, the strip itself is, in fact, connected to that game in some way - this time, it's the basic plot of traveling through time, hence that game's title.

As explained below, the author had intended for this to be part of a series, but while finding this particular strip passable on its own merits, they decided to shelve the overall idea due to the oversaturation of SRoMG memes.

The author writes

This was the fourth strip in a planned mini-series I had in mind. The strips would have Garfield trying to make himself younger by changing the year on his calendar, which would lead to disastrous results. After realizing SRoMG's history with memes going overboard, I quickly shelved the idea, but I still thought that this strip was pretty good on its own.

Original strips: 2014-06-19, 1993-04-04.

Transcript

Garfield: I don't feel like getting older. {begins tampering with the calendar} Maybe if I change the year, I'll get younger on my birthday.
SFX: ZAP!
{The change has sent Garfield back in time to the April 4, 1993 strip, much to his horror. Jon and Odie have the tongue parasites attached to them, and are drooling uncontrollably} Garfield: YAAAAHHHHH!!
{Garfield wakes up from his nightmare, being, although visibly disturbed, glad that it was just that.}
