558: Garfield The Square Root Of Minus Garfield Garfield
| Garfield The Square Root Of Minus Garfield Garfield |
 Made by: Andrew Kepple |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
Following Manyhills' futile attempt to halt the onslaught of pudding pops comics, Mr. Kepple here makes it into an example of the Droste effect - the middle image is the entire comic, which means that comic's middle image is itself, and that comic's middle image is itself, and it goes on like that. The animated version makes this more obvious, as it continuously zooms into the middle part, making it clear that it never stops repeating.

Inspired by #478.
For even more fun, here's an animated version:
For those without Flash, here's an animated GIF (much larger file size).
[Note: the animated version above is the GIF. ShoutWiki does not support uploading Flash files - that can be found here.]
Original strip: 2001-11-28.
Transcript[edit | edit source]
Jon: The world is constantly changing.
{This comic, squashed into the middle frame.}
Garfield: They haven't stopped making frozen pudding pops, have they?
Trivia[edit | edit source]
The animated GIF has since replaced the Flash version on the Square Root of Minus Garfield site; the Flash file no longer works.
