Jon: Garfield, have you seen my striped tie? I can't find it anywhere!

{Jon pulls out a polka-dot tie}

Jon: Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wear my polka dot tie instead.

Garfield: Now he's a dip coming and going.

The author writes:

I took a strip from 1989 (the year the original Game Boy was released) and indexed the colour palette to the Game Boy's four shades of green.

Original strip: 1989-12-07.

Strip by: Colin Foster

{Garfield looks in a mirror}

Garfield: Above all...

Garfield: Do not forget...

Garfield: To love yourself.

The author writes:

I made two Kierkegaard-inspired strips (see #886). (Thanks to Wikiquote for the quotes.) I couldn't decide which one to send in at first, then decided it shouldn't be an Either/Or question. (Hey, you try working "On the Concept of Irony with Continual Reference to Socrates" into a joke.)

Original strip: 2004-11-10.

Strip by: Andrew Bird

Calvin: {to Garfield} Is it my imagination, or do you insult me at every opportunity?

{Scene changes to Garfield standing in a lurid alien landscape of incredible rock formations, with Spaceman Spiff pointing a raygun at him.}

Garfield: {to Calvin, as scene changes back to normal reality} That's assuming you have an imagination.

The author writes:

It should be obvious, but in case anyone's worried, rest assured that I drew all the Calvins myself. Not to mention the background for the second panel (does it look familiar to anyone?).

Original strip: 2002-11-02.

Garfield: I gotta get help for this CRC in my back.

Garfield: Hey, guys.

Garfield: What we have here is a failure to communicate.

The author writes:

Digital information is fragile. This is the result of just 5 single-bit errors in the JPEG data stream. Of course, this is why we have cyclic redundancy checks and other error detection and correction codes.

Original strip: 1984-02-28.
