Idle Things

[spazzychic]

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?
Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him 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.

Thank you celluloid_jam o.o

Someone of an opinion I care about said something idly to me a few days ago, and it's been bothering me ever since. I've been trying to chase down an explanation but so far nothing. >< He probably doesn't even know that it's snagged onto the edge of my psyche so much.

I think I like the ones where Garfield is present but his thought balloons are removed better, in which Jon is a really lonely guy who spends a lot of time talking to his cat (and also has some issues, but whatever).

Was it me?

Nope. You are easily accessible and would have heard of it by now. :)

Wow. I like Garfield, but those are even better.

The most messed up ones are the ones are the ones where Garfield has a nightmare about being dead.
Those are plenty disturbing as they are, and require no photoshopping whatsoever.

Really, they're quite messed up, and I wouldn't recomend them unless you wana feel down all day like I did when I first saw them.

Turning a tired cliche into brilliant surrealist art.
