Explanation[edit | edit source]

The author has decided to start making edits of Garfield strips that had not yet been represented on this site in chronological order the day that he made this strip. The earliest Garfield strip that was not edited and submitted to Square Root of Minus Garfield at the time was syndicated on July 1st, 1978, which has been twelve days after the release of the very first one.

When he saw the original Garfield strip, he wanted to replace the two lines of "Z"s at the end of the strip with a pair of "Z" balloons for Garfield the Cat, and his owner, Jon Arbuckle, to sleep under, but he did not want to use balloons from an already-used strip, and he wanted them to be from the Garfield comic's early years of syndication.

Luckily, he found some of the "Z" balloons in the Garfield strip from January 7th, 1981 strip, which was unused at the time. So he copied and pasted them to the strip, and matched their backgrounds with that of said strip.

He then typed up the transcript and the personal notes, submitted it, waited for it to enter to the queue (like SRoMG submitters do when they're bored) all of which happened on the same day he made this strip.

He is extremely proud of himself with the result he made in the Garfield strip from July 1st, 1978.
