Garfield, the garbage of the comics page, is transformed into a surrealist tragedy merely by removing his thought bubbles.

Garfield exists on a higher plane of comedy that, unfortunely, only Jim Davis has attained. Future generations will call him the next Shakespeare - FACT!“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

It's better without him talkin, like a depiction of an insanely lonely and troubled man caught in the rat wheel of life. His only output is talking to his cat. Deep stuff!It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars

Yes, but they'll be calling him that after Edgar Frohnuss Shakespeare, the world's least amusing person.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

Like this one, clearly the man is sinking into a state of paranoia and illusion. The clothes and imaginative cat laughter are real clues. Next episode, the men dressed in white come to get him. Fun!

Jim Davis should have pulled a "Calvin and Hobbes" — IOW, he should have retired years ago, when his strip was still somewhat consistently entertaining.

I loved the early Garfields when I was a kid. But I agree, they haven't been funny in a really long time. Yet, for some reason, I still like knowing that its in the paper. It's something familiar and warming that would be missed if removed. Much like I'm glad Peanuts is still run after Charles Shultz's death.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
