Garfield minus Garfield
Julie D. over at Happy Catholic had a post about the cartoon Savage Chicken. I get it in my daily e-mail. My favourite comic strips are “Crankshaft”, “Peanuts” and ”Rose Is Rose”.
I’ve never particularly cared for Garfield, but my cousin Anne sent me a link to “Garfield minus Garfield”. I love it. It’s funny because it’s sad…
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.
