Garfield Minus Garfield
Dave on August 2nd, 2008
This site has been around since February, but getting a book published is always a good time to talk something up again. Garfield Minus Garfield removes Garfield from Garfield comics. The result, in creator Dan Walsh’s words, is “an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life.”
Not only is this inspired and awesome, but it’s coming soon to a book shelf near you. Ballantine Books will be releasing a collection of Garfield Minus Garfield strips along with Garfield’s 30th Anniversary book this October. 
Jim Davis, Garfield’s creator, seems to dig the project — in fact, he says Walsh made him slap his head a few times when he realized he could have left a panel out for a funnier joke. Imagine how hard he’ll slap himself if he ever finds out there are funnier things than lasagna.
