Garfield Minus Garfield

comicsOMG I can't believe how awesome Garfield strips become once you remove Garfield from them.  They are unintentionally hilarious scenes from the life of Garfield's "owner" Jon, who comes across as a deeply bipolar fellow, experiencing constant existential crises along with some fairly dada moments as well.  The cumulative effect of the strips is wonderful.  From the site...

"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."

Thanks Spine!
