Garfield Minus Garfield
What do you get when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips? Here’s what the website’s intro says:
“Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar 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.”

Awesome.
What I like about G-G so much is that when you read it, you see how strange and schizo Jon can be without Garfield. BUT, I realized that Garfield never really talked anyway, he always has a “thought bubble”, not a dialogue bubble like Jon. So, in essence, Jon is always talking to himself. He always was insane.
This may allow me to enjoy the original Garfield strip a little bit more than not at all, now.
