The other Garfield
Today is the 40th anniversary of the first appearance of Garfield! To celebrate, please enjoy some favorites of Internet Manifestation, Garfield Minus Garfield, which gets to the very heart of what makes the strip so deeply melancholy and unsettling, and the horrifying Lasagna Cat, where Garfield strips are acted out by real live people.
One of my kids and I once went through an entire Garfield book applying the Garfield minus Garfield thingie. On the plus side, some were quite amusingly melancholy. Minus side, I read an entire Garfield omnibus.
