Explanation[edit | edit source]

As explained in the author's notes, this strip is a remake of 2951: The GarB System using higher-quality video game assets. "HD Remake", however, could be considered a misleading title; this strip's Garfield assets use smaller-sized assets than #2951 did (on the flip side, this meant not as much blowing-up of the video game assets were needed), and the resolution of the 3DS (the platform of the 2017 remake) isn't too much higher than that of the Game Boy Advance (the platform of the 2003 original).

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Inspired by SRoMG #2951, The GarB System. That one used sprites from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, so this one uses sprites from the 2017 remake Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions! However, in the remake, the cafe employee doesn't look so sad, so I changed the dialogue to reflect that. Now either Jon tips a lot, or Binky the Clown really needs money.

Original strips: 2008-08-08 (main), 2015-11-28 (the word "happy")

Sprites from Spriters' Resource. Original game is Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. The Starbeans employee and the Woohoo Blend sprites are © Nintendo, and used only as a vehicle for parody.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

{Starbeans Cafe Employee is holding two Woohoo Blends and serving Jon and Garfield}
Starbeans Cafe Employee: Okay, who had the coffees?
Jon: Um...
Starbeans Cafe Employee: Just a little coffee-bar humor, sir
{Jon and Garfield are drinking their Woohoo Blends}
Jon: That guy always looks so happy
Garfield: Your tips could make Binky the Clown happy

Trivia[edit | edit source]

This strip's author's notes were hit with mojibake errors in a later site recoding effort; the original author's notes unaffected by mojibake are currently lost to the public due to this.
