Similar to DJ music, “Garfield Minus Garfield” takes existing art and bends it to make a something entirely fresh. Just read the site’s purpose:
Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.
This is the original strip of the above sans Garfield strip:
What a brilliant idea. I read Garfield in fourth grade and don’t remember rolling on the floor laughing or anything. I was amused by Garfield and Odie. Imagine a fourth grade girl kind of chuckling while flipping through Garfield books. The top strip is far funnier than with the cat. Sort of a Fight Club concept – you can think back to all the Garfield strips you ever read and imagine that Garfield was just a figment of Jon’s imagination.
