Less is More. Also More Funny

Less is often more.

We at the home office have realized this most recently when someone discovered there is a brilliant mind doctoring Garfield comics so as to completely remove Garfield. That's right, Garfield minus Garfield. At first, it sounds like a silly and unfunny idea. Trust me, it's neither. Well, maybe a little silly. But definitely funny.

Having attended college in Muncie, the home of Jim Davis, Paws, and all things Garfield, this hits a little close to home. But I'm not bitter in the least. What was once a comic strip about a fat cat and his quirky, neurotic owner, Jon, has been transformed into a hilarious but often disturbing strip about Jon, a man barely holding onto the fringe of reality. No longer do I feel sorry for Jon, his struggles to get a second date, or his having to purchase fern plants at an alarming rate. I think I'm a little afraid of him.
