History YMMV / SquareRootOfMinusGarfield

** The annotation of [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=88 #88]], a recreation of a ''Webcomic/{{Mezzacotta}}'' comic, states "The next trick will be turning Garfield and Jon into Lightning Made Of Owls characters." They don't turn into them, but [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=445 this]] comic was made a year later, and then [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1693 this extremley meta one]] a few years after that.

* MemeticMutation: Aside from the aforementioned "Garfield [something that sounds like minus] Garfield", there is also [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Jon with a blender stuck to his head]], with the blender sometimes replaced with something that may or may not sound like the word "blender".

*** Similarly, [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1098 this strip]] features Garfield paying Odie like a hitman to knock the head off a snowman, which became much less absurd when [[http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2013/ga130908.jpg the actual canon]] featured Garfield doing the same to an unnamed dog to sic Nermal.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: [[http://mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=625 Strip 625]], which took an OverusedRunningGag and effectively [[{{Franchise/Terminator}} terminated]] it.

* ArchivePanic: 2400+ strips and counting. Hope you have a lot of time on your hands.

* DiscreditedMeme: The "Garfield [something that sounds like minus] Garfield" bit after one use too many. It was officially axed when they made a [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=625 strip]] with the Film/{{Terminator}} going back to stop the meme's creation.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1843 This one]] referencing a Garfield parody in ''Series/ThirtyRock'' came out a few days before Tracy Morgan, the actor in the original scene, was seriously injured in a car accident.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1423 This strip]] involving a bomb blowing up in Jon's face came out four days before the Boston Marathon bombing.

** [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1120 This comic]] points out how one day, Jim Davis recycled a gag by accident, but realized his mistake and sent out an original strip to replace it. The exact same thing would later happen in the comic itself with [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1589 this]] as the reycled gag and [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1595 this]] as the replacement.

*** Similarly, one user once ranted on the forums that the comic had never had a crossover with ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine''. [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1083 There would]] [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1209 later be]] ''two'' of them.

** [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=994 This strip]] became this when the real strip really did have [[http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2012/ga120429.jpg a strip]] about Garfield chasing a laser pointer two months later
