Garfield Minus Garfield

I love the idea behind "Garfield Minus Garfield." What is it? The site's description says it better than I can: "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."

Because, really, Jon spends his time talking to a cat. Imagine now that that was an ordinary cat that didn't respond...yeah. You start to see the reality portrayed behind the strip. Each situation changes when you just look at Jon, living alone... 

It's sometimes funny:

 

 Sometimes sad:

 Sometimes bewildering: 


 And sometimes just make you wonder about his sanity:
