Ever wonder what the Garfield comic strip would be like without Garfield in it? Fret not, me neither — until a friend of mine swore it was funny in a dark sort of way and passed along a link to prove it.

I have to say, my friend was right, so now, I pass the link on to you, bthesite.com readers. It may take digesting about 10 of them to appreciate the humor and let the weirdness sink in, so give it a chance (I recommend clicking on the “older comics” link once you reach the bottom.)

If that’s not enough to entice you, maybe the explainer on the site will: “Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar 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 loneliness in a quiet American suburb.”

If nothing else, it should make you feel better about yourself.
