Garfield Minus Garfield is a brilliant and often surreal web project by Dan Walsh that completely removes the titular feline from his own comic strips. The fat cat's absence only adds gravity to the pathetic life of his owner, Jon Arbuckle. As the website says, "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."
Garfield creator Jim Davis actually enjoys the concept, and Ballantine Books recently announced they will be publishing a collection of
Garfield Without Garfield, featuring side by side comparisons of Walsh's doctored images and the original strips. More details can be found in
a post on the GWG website.
