This strip's author forgot to state that the twenty strips used were the first twenty non-Sunday strips. That detail could throw off strip-crediting logic, as 1978-07-08 was the twentieth strip including two Sundays, yet the latest date credited was three days later (a third Sunday being one of those three subsequent days); on the flip side, including Sunday strips would likely have made those three particular panels stand out among the non-Sunday panels.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]

Trivia[edit | edit source]
Both the old and current codings of the strip credits on Square Root of Minus Garfield itself do not properly credit every strip therein; the old coding version simply stated "everything between the two dates", the current coding version simply crediting the bookend dates. The strip credits presented at the bottom of the author's notes on this very article have been reworked to properly credit each strip individually.
