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.
Exactly. It's funny now.

There was another one a while ago where they removed all of Garfield's words. It too was better than the original Garfield strips.

Wow. It makes alot more sense, since in reality cats never do anything but stare at the wall or vommit, they might as well not even be there.

I think in the original strips when they first came out, Garfield didn't talk, he just sat there.

Ok, not to kill the mood or anything, but most of these are NOT funny at all.

Doesn't matter if Garfield is in it or not.

I'm partial to the Garfield Randomizer, which randomly assembles three unrelated panels from different Garfield strips.

If it could also remove Garfield we'd finally have a cartoon strip for the thinking man.

Precisely. And, if I may add, it succinctly represents an untimely end for those who do choose to break free.

If only there was a Garfield remover and a randomizer that worked together, life would make sense.

The possibilities are endless.

What about a randomizer with only panels containing Odie?
