A New Garfield Spin Off

This blog titled “Garfield minus Garfield” speaks for itself as an instance of Subtraction, but here’s a description from the site anyway;

“Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.”

While Jon doesn’t come off so well without Garfield, the reader benefits from the Subtraction by gaining a new perspective on a beloved comic strip.
