Garfield Times Garfield

Made by: Andrusi

Explanation

What Andrusi apparently means by squaring the first strip is running it across and downward, then taking the first panel of the second strip and putting it in the middle, putting its last panel both to the right and below that panel, and taking the last panel of the third strip and putting it in the bottom right.

The author writes:

With all the different variations on mathematical functions of varying complexity, I'm surprised that apparently nobody else has thought of taking that first strip and squaring it.

The result comes disturbingly close to making sense.

Strips used: 1978-06-19, 1978-06-20, 1978-06-21.
