We’re quite a bit late in terms of featuring Garfield minus Garfield, but while we saw it all that time ago, we didn’t realise it was created by an Irish guy. We just confirmed that, so now it can be featured on Jazz Biscuit.

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.

Garfield minus Garfield. Brilliant. And Jim Davis likes it.
