Explanation[edit | edit source]
Due to the nature of the Square Root of Minus Garfield strip queue, it is presumed that this strip was created after the initial release of Club Penguin Island on Android and iOS (2017-03-29), but before its PC release (2017-11-30), as the author's notes describe that game as smart-device-exclusive; Club Penguin Island had already been discontinued (2018-12-20) by the time this strip first ran.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
I did this one because of the shutdown of the MMO game Club Penguin in favor of the Android- and iOS-exclusive game Club Penguin Island, as I was a big fan of it back in its day, and even some time after.
Original Square Root of Minus Garfield strip: 2015-12-09.
Original strip: 1995-10-08.

{An image for Club Penguin appears in the first panel. An iPad is present, playing the Beach Boys' "Caroline, No". As the bridge enters its second line, a zoom out reveals that the image is displayed on a monitor. Garfield then bursts into tears and hugs his gaming assembly}
iPad: ♪It's so sad to watch a sweet thing dieeeee♪
Garfield: WAAHH!
iPad: ♪Oh, Caroline, whyyyyyy?♪
Garfield {in anguish}: WHY? WHY DID THEY HAVE TO SHUT YOU DOWN FOR CPI?!!! DON'T WORRY, I'LL NEVER LET YOU GOOO!!
