I think this is perhaps the funniest thing I've seen in ages. Now, I like Garfield, or at least I did. I feel like the comic has really peaked and Jim Davis has been on autopilot for a long time now, but I found something that's actually really amusing.
You may have seen "Silent Garfield" before - a phenomenon wherein people photoshopped out Garfield's speech bubbles, so it appeared that Jon was just talking to his poor, silent cat by himself; but someone has upped the ante. This person photoshopped Garfield out entirely, so the comic turns into what's essentially a much, much sadder commentary on modern life. For example:

Garfield Minus Garfield (http://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/)
Hahaha, that's genius.
Amazing.
Quotehim on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.
it's so true.

Lol at the pants one. XP
We always knew Jon was really insane.
INVISIBLE CAT
...That didn't work very well, now did it... orz
Somewhat depressingly awesome though~
The insanity. XD He looks like such skitzo in those strips.
Those are friken' awesome. A couple of those are painfully sad, seeing him talking to himself. I found this one particularly so:

I couldn't agree with you more. I used to be a big garfield fan back in the 80's but it has gotten so repetitive and un-funny. I can't read it anymore. I have given up on newspaper comics some time ago.

Jon finally having a girlfriend didn't help much in the laugh factor :-\

Probably to prove once and for all that Jon is straight? I dunno. I still read Garfield and laugh sometimes.
I liked the cartoon show best though. :)

Agreed that is sad and painful.
Remember, all that time he was talking to his cat and dog.
...
and that Garfield talks to Pooky.
Bring back Nemo (if I spelled the name correctly). Where did he or she go?

Wow. So empty and alone.
I am reminded of that lonely song.
1 is the lonliest number?
i suppose if you had an imginary pet, it would make sense.
Otherwise Jon really does have it rough.
then again why is there the crazy old cat lady? but no old crazy cat guy?
closest thing i could think of is that creepy old guy from Family Guy.
then again i dont know what im talking about so i fail. :P
