Shear Genius

Jon Arbuckle Was One Angry Dude...

I've never been a Garfield fan. Nor a Jon Arbuckle fan (and don't get me started on freakin' Odie.) But there is a little bit of magic in Garfield strips without the Garfield.

Their note at the top of the site provides a bleak comment on th
e mental state of one Jon Arbuckle:

"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."

To wit:

Wondrous, wondrous stuff.

Oh, the millions of wonderful things I would miss in the world without your keen sense of awesome.

I love you. And this was pretty goddamn cool.
