Garfield is funny. As long as he shuts up.

I saw this a while ago and thought i would post about it because looking at it again, it is uncanny how the whole comic strip changes.

The hypothesis is that if you remove all the text of Garfield's speech, that the comic becomes oddly surrealist and in my opinion extremely more enjoyable. Here are a few examples from Truth and Beauty Bombs











Oh my god, the last one breaks my heart. Jon is so sad. Garfield's quips and cracks in the orignal/unedited cartoon only distract you from the real heart of the story; that Jon is just a loser whose only friend in the world is a fat, unaffectionate cat.

God, Jim Davis. Has any one reached out to you? Call me if you need to talk.
