Garfield Minus Garfield

Garfield Minus Garfield

Garfield Minus Garfield is a web-based comic strip created by Dan Walsh, a 33 year old from Ireland, [ [http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/02/business/media/02garfield.html?ref=technology] ] which received considerable attention during 2008. [See the following two articles from Mother Jones: [http://www.motherjones.com/riff_blog/archives/2008/03/7705_garfield_minus.html] ; [http://www.motherjones.com/riff_blog/archives/2008/07/9125_interview_garfi.html] ] Each strip consists of an episode from the comic strip Garfield, from which all main and/or non-essential characters except Garfield's owner, Jon Arbuckle, have been removed through photo manipulation.

The resulting strips thus consist of Jon talking to himself (or not talking at all), and any sudden change in behaviour appears to be due to Jon thinking or realizing something, rather than a reaction to someone interacting with him. Certain strips make Jon seem as though he suffers from extreme depression.or|date=September 2008

Garfield artist Jim Davis has commented on the webcomic, stating that he is an occasional reader and finds it "fascinating" [ [http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/02/business/media/02garfield.html?ref=technology] ] and an "inspired thing to do." [ [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/03/AR2008040303083.html] ]

Publication

In October 2008, Ballantine Books will publish the [ [http://www.bostonherald.com/entertainment/music/general/view.bg?articleid=1111012] ] "Garfield Minus Garfield" book in full colour. The book will be credited to Garfield creator Jim Davis with a foreword written by Dan Walsh.
