GARFIELD AS AN EXISTENTIAL STATEMENT.

GARFIELD AS AN EXISTENTIAL STATEMENT. Annalisa gave Nick a book for Christmas, GARFIELD MINUS GARFIELD, which is based on this website. The site publishes Garfield comics from which Garfield has been removed. Without the cynicism and avowed laziness provided by the cat, we are left with the bleak life of Jon Arbuckle. The creator of Garfield, Jim Davis, writes about GARFIELD WITHOUT GARFIELD: “Essentially, Garfield does the color commentary on Jon’s hapless existence.” It turns out that in the background of GARFIELD, there was as much angst as PEANUTS ever had.
