at lunch today, someone mentioned edits to the comic strip garfield where the cat's thought bubbles are removed. you know, as a normal person would see that universe, since he's thinking everything anyway.

let me tell you it is brilliant. here is a thread of them. and here are some of my favorites:









ok, i'm going to post 1000 of them, so just poke the thread i linked to, and as i find more useful repositories of this kind of thing, i'll let you know. i'm sure jim davis has thought of this, and i'm slowly gaining respect for him as a result.

speaking of respect for jim davis and garfield in general, you should read this post:

The strips have caused many fans to speculate that Garfield is currently starving in an abandoned house and all of the series occurring after the comics in question were insane hallucinations by the cat as he tries to keep alive, yet author Jim Davis is reported to have actually "laughed loudly" when confronted with this.

yeah. garfield. jim fuckin davis. who knew?
