Erasing Jon Arbuckle

This is sweet--I posted a blog entry about the popular web comics created by artist Dan Walsh titled "Garfield Minus Garfield", where Dan erases Garfield out of the comic strips to reveal the real mental nature of the cat's master, Jon Arbuckle. Well, thanks to this anonymous person who came across my page, he gave me a link to another Garfield-inspired webcomic series where this time, Jon Arbuckle is erased out of the comic strips. As the blog author puts it:



"In 1989, Jim Davis drew the following series of six Garfield comics in which the fat, orange cat must grapple with his greatest fear: being alone. With the popularity of Garfield Minus Garfield and the fantastic nature of Photoshop, it now seems possible for Garfield to live his fears. So with that in mind, be prepared to view a world were Garfield must tackle his greatest fears, where there is no Jon Arbuckle, Odie, or Nermel. Where Garfield's only friends are the mice and spiders which still inhabit his house. Welcome to Garfield Minus Arbuckle."




So it doesn't always have to be Garfield! :)

Erasing Garfield


What do you get when the witty orange feline friend of Jon Arbuckle disappears from their side of the world?

You got hilarity of course!

Artist Dan Walsh created the amusing website Garfield Minus Garfield where he deliberately erases garfield off the comic strips, giving it a whole new spin. As Dan puts it:

"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. "
