76: Identity Function Garfield
| Identity Function Garfield |
 Made by: Pieter |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
The Identity Function is a mathematical function that returns the value fed into it. (It is usually only important as part of defining the inverse of a function--if two functions, when combined, produce an identity function, they are said to be each other's inverse for the method of combination at hand.) Thus, the strip is identical to the original.

Jon: Garfield, why don't you catch mice?
Jon: Are you afraid of them?
Jon: What power do they have over you?
Garfield: Tiny little incriminating photographs.
Transcript[edit | edit source]
This comic has been produced by applying the identity function simultaneously to every pixel of the comic of 2002-09-05.
I don't think it's funny by itself*, but it might by funny after the sum, average, division, and polar coordinate transform "functions" on Garfield.
* ED: Ouch!
