Bob, what’s your take on Garfield minus Garfield (http://garfieldminusgarfield.net )?
I mean, it’s the only webcomic in my feed reader (well, okay, xkcd I can’t avoid, and there’s ELER, which is moribund).

It’s cool, but I prefer the original bit of messing with Garfield: erasing all of Garfield’s text but leaving him in the picture. I can’t improve on Neil Gaiman’s description: “ a perfectly paced, rather sad strip about a man whose life is wasted and a cat who says nothing”. It doesn’t always work (mostly because of the annoying facial expressions), but it’s a brilliant idea.
By the way, for those who don’t check zompist.com any more, I’ve got two new comics reviews up today.
