That's brilliant.

I remember a series of Garfield's from about 15 years ago, where Jim Davis (or whichever sweatshop labourer was drawing them for him that week) decided to go "serious" for a few days. There were no "jokes" in the scripts, a lot of self-help-style captions, and for some reason a close-up of Garfield's sweating eyeball that still creeps me out today.

Anyone else remember?

ha, i saw these strips a few weeks ago -- i thought it was on ilx! maybe not. anyway, they're pretty great. the strip becomes totally existential.

Brilliant and sad. I'm doing this with Garfield from now on!

these are brilliant! it's funny how removing all that smug cat-commentary suddenly makes garfield actually funny.

i wonder what would happen if you did this with snoopy's dialogue in peanuts. could that strip get any MORE existential?

I had no idea JimDavisCorp killed the Garfield Randomiser. What a humourless guy he is.
