Explanation[edit | edit source]
The editor's note states that the originally-submitted file was 18 MB in size before being downscaled for presentation on Square Root of Minus Garfield. It is unknown if the originally-submitted file ever actually held the record for largest file, but if it did, it has since been broken by 5000: We Didn't Write The Garfield, which had a 23.7 MB file that actually got deployed on Square Root of Minus Garfield as-is. The fact that this file had to be downsized may be attributed to how the Square Root of Minus Garfield site coding worked at the time this strip ran; a later site recoding effort made between this strip and strip #5000, one that ended up creating mojibake errors in a sizable number of strips' titles, transcripts, and author's notes (this strip was not affected by mojibake errors), may have allowed for larger file sizes, indeed large enough to have possibly not required a downscaling had this strip ran after said site recoding effort.
The statement about the song sucking is the author's own, and may not necessarily represent the views of Square Root of Minus Garfield or this very wiki.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
I made another Garfield lyric thing (whatever you call it) before but this is significantly longer (and is able to work in a significantly better pun). I'm pretty sure this is the largest SRoMG comic so far at a total of 21696000 pixels*. Most very large SRoMG strips are 7 digit numbers.
The song kinda sucks anyway so I have no idea why I put so much effort into this
[*In fact I had to downscale the original 18MB file for upload. -Ed]
