Garfield minus Garfield

Last week, I was talking to someone about the inexplicable popularity of Garfield comic strips. I liked it, briefly, in my youth. But I'm pretty old, and Garfield was a pop culture phenomenon back then (and there weren't thirty compilations of comic strips about lasagna and eating!). Also, there was no Calvin & Hobbes, no Boondocks, no Fox Trot. It was Garfield, or Cathy (or Beetle Bailey, Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, or Peanuts. I read Peanuts, too).
Anyway, given my dislike of Garfield, my delight at this website (garfield minus garfield)is almost boundless. It's Garfield, without Garfield - in other words, just these odd and surreal strips of Jon reacting to nothing we can see. Have a look!
