21st Century Comedy


The other day I was reading (I know, a shocker) about a website that is taking a new, comedic take on a classic comedy. This guy has taken old, classic Garfield comic strips and taken Garfield out of them. No Garfield and none of his "comments". The concept is explained on the website: "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"

Even more interesting is the fact that he has Jim Davis' (the creator of Garfield) permission and help to do this. Check out Garfield Minus Garfield
Pretty funny.
