Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The comic strip Garfield has always been a funny staple of newspaper comics sections, but one notable experiment has given the series a dark makeover. Garfield Minus Garfield is a webcomic created by Dan Walsh that edits Garfield strips by creator Jim Davis that removes the titular cat and his commentary from the strips. This often leaves Garfield's owner, Jon Arbuckle, alone and talking to himself.
There are, of course, two ways to approach the unyielding flow of time – go with it, and work to make the future better than the past, or swim against the timestream, and risk drowning in nostalgia and "remember whens." Jon Arbuckle appears to choose the latter in this Garfield Minus Garfield strip.
While Garfield and Jon’s relationship could sometimes be contentious, the comic strip usually presented Jon as his own worst enemy. Nothing shows that better than this Garfield Minus Garfield strip, which portrays Jon Arbuckle as somehow bound by scotch tape. Lacking Garfield, this strip suggests that Jon is out of his mind with boredom and trying to find something to occupy his time. However, based on whatever project he was attempting here, it’s clearly not going well.
12 "Loser" Shows Why Jon Arbuckle Is A Punchline Not A Serious Person Jon Arbuckle isn’t the most confident or self-assured character in comic strips. However, here, he doesn’t even need the empty, judgmental look of Garfield to erode his self-esteem. Jon’s affirmation that he isn’t a loser slowly begins to degrade into an admittance of how much of a loser he actually is. He can’t help but tear himself down, even when there’s no one there egging him on, a truly sad state of affairs.
Where the last panel found Jon Arbuckle lamenting the passing of a day, here, he is portrayed as restless at the thought of them passing in a blur, to the point where he states that, " life has been one long day," and nothing more.
6 "Existentialism" Proves Even Jon Can Be Right Sometimes He Wishes He Wasn't The more one takes in Garfield Minus Garfield strips, the more people see the hidden ennui of the original strip. Here, Jon discusses the world saying it existed before anyone and will be here long after everyone is gone.
