Garfield Minus Garfield
« on: January 19, 2011, 12:56:35 »
This has aparently been around for a while, but thought I'd share in case I'm not the only one who hadn't seen it.


[From the website:

Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.]

I feel your pain, Arbuckle.






Check out more here.

What's sad is the more I read of these, the more I relate to Jon, and the less funny they become...  maybe I should pace myself before I get too depressed.

Would the same impression be felt if Hobbes was removed from Calvin's toon?

Perhaps...  :)

Calvin without Hobbes


... but considering that Hobbes was imaginary anyway, it doesn't really have the same radical change of meaning.  Just more of an 'adult's eye view'.

Hmm... Yeah... I agree, more impact for the Garfield comics.
