Garfield Minus Garfield!

Oh, this is pure genius! Garfield Minus Garfield! It’s the comic strip with Garfield removed! The explanation on the site itself says it all!

Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

Now that is a great comic strip! There is an entire book dedicated to this?!? Ordering it now…

It also should be noted that this project did not originate with Garfield creator Jim Davis. A fellow named Dan Walsh actually discovered that the comic took a completely different turn when Garfield was removed and the entire focus was placed upon Jon Arbuckle. Davis, to his incredible credit, approved Walsh’s project. Such approval is astounding! Davis’ approval is even more astounding when understood in the context of today’s publishing and copyright laws. Walsh, it seems, had already published his edited version of the comic online before Davis discovered it or gave his approval. Davis gave Garfield Minus Garfield his full blessing, in spite of that slight technicality. Kudos to you, Jim Davis!

Arminianism vs Calvinism

I love this cartoon! Especially as I recover from the past five weeks of letting everyone and their brother (and sometimes mothers!) know that our community is not Calvinist, at all. Can you guess which one is the Arminian? LOL!
