Garfield Minus Garfield

By Keith E. D. Buhler in Happy & Sad

Not as funny as would be (a much hoped-for) “White people like Garfield” post,

But checkout the delightfully sad, somber, existential, anti-climactic commentary on modern life provided by Garfield with all the Garfield taken out.

    It really has a different ‘mood’ to it.

    Thanks for the link, Keith.

    I’ve stumbled across this before… but it was nice to see it again. Very funny… possibly funnier that the original.

  3. After Garfield jumped the shark, then yes, it’s funnier than the original. Different, darker, more desperate, but funnier.

    It would be impossible for any variant of a Garfield strip not to be funnier than the original version. Garfield has not made me smile, much less laugh, for ten years if not fifteen. I wonder if that coincides with when Davis quit writing or drawing the strip himself.

    I had a beat-up copy of Garfield Weighs In (His Fourth Book) as a kid and loved it. But alas, that was published in 1982, collecting strips from 1980.
