Garfield Minus Garfield

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 lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.
I started back using my tumblr blog yesterday and saw this featured on the main page. Seeing Garfield minus Garfield in it is a strangely disturbing yet fulfilling experience. Newspapers should consider publishing these.
wow… the only thing creepier than a guy talking to a cat… is a guy talking to him self.
there’s a link somewhere of strips where garfield is there, but has no speech bubbles over his head. i think it’s better than these because it makes john look more crazy and depressed.
Yeah. I think I’m favoring the ones without the Garfield speech bubbles, through these add yet another level of insanity to the equation.

Nice.
On October 28th 1989, Jim Davis published Garfield’s death. Yup, it’s true… and a little bit creepy

R031E5, interesting link. Whats more weird is when you picture them only being seen one day at a time, with no punchline and absolutely nothing funny about them
” Garfield’s mind is working at a fevered pace in the moments before death, as he imagines the same scenarios over and over again with painful repetition.”
hahaha… :-/ Funny in a weird way…
Wow. These should be reissued in comic strips. They would attract a lot of sympathy from depressed schitzophrantics. Did I spell that right?
