Strip by: Nyperold

Caption: Volume 1
Namiko: Guess what? I'm not cooking tonight... Liz is!
{Garfield gets on his knees with a big, toothy grin and raises his forelegs to the sky in thankfulness to be spared "surrealistic" cooking}
Garfield: We're saved!!
{Namiko just looks at him, and he dampens his enthusiasm}
Garfield: I mean, oh, really!
Caption: Volume 2
{Garfield walks to the right with his index finger up}
Garfield: Heat conduction relays will give you a warm feeling
{The section of ledge becomes empty as he walks off, then returns in a sweater}
Garfield: A sweater works, too
Caption: Volume 3
{Jon talks to Garfield as he walks away}
Jon: I still don't know what to get Liz
{Jon walks off-panel, and Garfield looks at us}
Jon: I think I'll consult with an expert...
{Next scene. Jon, who, might I remind you, is like 50 years old at this point, sits in the lap of a teenage girl with a cardboard box on her head}
Jon: ...and she's about this tall
{He holds his hand up to indicate height}
Chikako: Security!
{...He seems to be there against her will}
Caption: Volume 4
Gray pillow: Someday mice will rule the world
{...A pillow...?}
'Orange Prince' marigold: Then what?

Marigold: You don't say
{Transcriber, put your glasses on!}

{Garfield is walking along when suddenly...}
Garfield: BURP
{Garfield turns around and walks back in the direction he came from}
Garfield: See mew again

Garfield (the foal) {to Jon}: Maybe we should take separate vacations this year
Garfield: I will go somewhere fun
Garfield: Because you will not be there
Caption: Volume 7
{Terrified, Jon points at something on the ground}
Jon: Yaaah! Snake! Snake! Snake!
{Garfield calmly picks the letter up}
Garfield: Jon, it's a "no"
{Jon reflects on the experience as they proceed on their way}
Jon: That was scary!
{Garfield tosses the katakana behind him}
Garfield: You're scary

The author writes:

One day, I was perusing the SRoMG TV Tropes page when I had a thought. I had recently received the last — as in, the series is over — volume of the slice-of-life manga GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class, so I decided to use Garfield strips published on the release date of each volume of the manga. However, there are two dates listed on the Wikipedia page: The Japanese release date, and the English release date. Thus, a Japanese Release Date Edition and an English Release Date Edition.

For each strip, I tried to use something pertaining to the appropriate volume: a reference to something that happens, a graphic, something.
