Garfield Minus Garfield
As with most things, I’m always behind in finding out about interesting websites – what is new and exciting to me has usually been floating round the old infosphere for years, then I post about it here and look foolish the next day for not being hip enough to have known about it 3 months ago.
And so it goes, except I don’t really care as I’ve never been that cool anyway and at my age I have no plans to start. I like what I like, and I find out about what I find out about when I find out about it…
Which leads me to Garfield Minus Garfield – a site which has been up and running for quite a while, but I only just discovered thanks to a quick email from a friend. It’s a brilliant concept – brilliant brilliant brilliant – and has put a much needed spin on my favourite comic strip from childhood.
“Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic strip about Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.“
