Garfield and the Unbearable Pain of Being Alive: A strange thing happens to Garfield comics when you remove the cat's thought balloons...
  • ...they get even less funny?
  • Good lord... and Jon becomes even more pathetic and mean.
  • garfield and i have the same birthday...
  • I found that it's almost like reading some lost Chris Ware comic...
  • I think they are improved immeasurably.
  • Obviously, Garfield comics are responsible for all the insanely lonely men in our society. People keep on imitating what they see in the newspaper. And Cathy's responsible for all the insanely lonely women.
  • I was reading a comic anthology in Borders the other day that Chris Ware did an illustrated history of comics in and found out he's actually insanelly hilarious.
  • Yes. I read his stuff and I laugh my self to suicide.
  • Why am I getting no comic goodness on the linked site? I see the comments, I see the effects of the hilarity, but no hilarity itself. Is it post-post-mod?
  • Some of the goodness doesn't come up, but when I refreshed, other goodness appeared. But I agree with the_bone -- remarkably improved. I would almost bother to read this.
  • Perhaps it's an ad-blocking issue? Trying turning off any filter's you got going. Or maybe switching browsers. Or perhaps cross your eyes.
  • Okay, I see--my work doesn't block livejournal, but it does block the forum to which he linked to get the pics. It all makes sense now. Oh, and also: waaaaaaah.
  • Wow. That's really, really sad. Even more depressing than Cathy. Which is saying a lot.
  • This, on the other hand, is brilliant:
  • More unintentional humor in the comments: Mans not right. Plain and simple, he has one cat and manages to dance on the line of sanity. I live with 7 cats, and have never bitched to one of them...
  • "Garfield Blogger" officially sick of it.
