Garfield Minus Garfield
Garfield Minus Garfield ^ | 3/3/08 | none Indicated

Posted on 03/03/2008 10:51:37 AM PST by JennysCool

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.

Pure comedy gold, and maybe a whole new art form. Tell all your friends!

“Waiting for Guiteau” — or has he already arrived and done away with Garfield?

Garfield is a disreputable disgusting murderer.

Or perhaps Garfield has become the Cheshire Cat.

It’s just refreshing having him gone!

Me too. I think it’s a great idea. I think a cult may form.

Great stuff ... for another example of altered comic strips, featuring far more crude humor (not for the easily offended), search the Web for “The Dilbert Hole.”

Funny and pretty sad that I can kind of relate to Jon.

I like this one best. It made me laugh.

I meant his 'exciting' life, not this:

schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?

Just had to clear that up ; )
