"Garfield Minus Garfield" A Troubling Lesson on Late Capitalist Anxiety?
Garfield Minus Garfield has a simple formula: erase (presumably through the magic of Photoshop) every instance of the irrepressible, overweight feline, leaving only Jon Arbuckle to talk to himself. The results are devastating (and hilarious) treatises on loneliness, without punch lines or jokes, reminiscent of the appallingly bleak early Peanuts strips.
The Riff may be over-analyizing G-G, but regardless, the review is a glowing one.
I had the wonderful fortune of getting to redesign G-G’s theme today, and I couldn’t be happier to be involved, however tangentially, with such a brilliant parody. (via Travors)
