Cool Comics







Hey all,

I don't remember if you remember the Nietzsche Family Circus (link on the previous blog), but I think this is on par with it - mediocre comics turned into a commentary on the existential angst of postmodern society. It's called Garfield minus Garfield, and you can find it here. Basically, they're just Garfield comic strips from which every character has been removed except Jon, Garfield's loser-owner. I thought some were pretty brilliant, some of which are shown above. I hope everyone's having a good summer.

Sorry Braxton, but I honestly didn't find any of these funny, just as I didn't find the Family Circus very funny. Sorry.

PS: You haven't commented on paper football.

Perhaps it's just my idiosyncratic sense of humor...I didn't comment on that because I was never really a member of the paper football league - I think I played once or twice, but I was usually reading while the games were going on. If I'm still invited, I'll definitely attend, though.

haha, those are clever and funny. they do bring quite a new meaning to the original comic.

if you consider that in the original comics, Jon is really still talking to himself since Garfield only uses thought bubbles, it makes sense to just see Jon's end of things.
