If’n you have a somewhat, shall we say, off sense of humor (like me), then I think you’ll like this.


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 in a quiet American suburb.

Garfield minus Garfield

Garfield minus Garfield

Garfield minus Garfield

Garfield minus Garfield

Yes, Garfield minus Garfield.

It took the surrealistic step of removing the title character himself, but this has once again made Garfield worth reading for me.
