I'm not a huge fan of just direct linking other people's ideas that I run across through my daily RSS feeds here. That's what shared Google Reader is for.
However, the idea behind "Garfield without Garfield" fascinates me. It is the true genius of Jim Davis--because, face it, Garfield him/herself has never broken the humor threshold.
It is the hidden story of Jon Arbuckle, which the "re-creator" puts perfectly:
Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle [Special props to those who "get" this link reference"]. 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.
