Haha, Jon's propper mental then....
It's definitely a laugh, but not exactly side splitting, still, anythings better than the original strip...

do that to any strip and you get the same results.
but i'll concede it's less annoying this way.

Variation on the theme (randomizes three frames from different Garfield strips):

Saw this earlier on the Presurfer. The ones I liked best were the one with Mrs. Feeny's card and the one where Jon says "Oh the pain!". They both stand exceptionally well on their own.
Actually I think Garfield is one of the best candidates for erasing a character along with their dialogue, because Jon is usually going off on a tangent anyway. The strip seems to be less about the jokes than gags.

Any strip with an obnoxious animal interacting with humans would probably work just as well.
And as a sad example of the state of our modern society, there's no lack of such comic strips...

What ruined Garfield for me was his voice. As a kid Garfield was one of my favorites beacause I gave him a funny voice. When I first heard his condescending, depressing voice it was no longer funny.

That's pretty good reading.
The writer of Zippy could learn a thing or two about making comics from this.

Aw, yeah, that was funny. It's a shame, Garfield was a riot in the 80s and 90s.
