Garfield minus Garfield: The Book

Tags: , , ,



Garfield minus Garfield
, created by 33 year old Irish man Dan Walsh, is to spawn a book. Press release snip:

NEW YORK, NY – July 30, 2008 – Paws, Inc. and Ballantine Books, a division of the Random House Publishing Group, announced last week at Comic-Con International that Ballantine will publish a book inspired by the popular webcomic Garfield Minus Garfield.

Garfield Minus Garfield (www.garfieldminusgarfield.net) made its online debut in February 2008 and quickly became an online sensation based on a simple premise: What would Jim Davis’ Garfield comic strip be like without its lasagna-loving fat cat? Without the presence of Garfield and other characters such as Odie the dog and Nermal the kitten, the strips “create a new, even lonelier atmosphere for Jon Arbuckle…Jon’s observations seem to teeter between existential crisis and deep despair.” (New York Times)

The full-color book format will give readers the experience of having both the original and doctored Garfield strips together on the same page for comparison. Dublin, Ireland-based Garfield Minus Garfield creator Dan Walsh will provide the foreword to the book.

Cool. Full press release at travors.com.

TV3 is going with an Irish version of the Apprentice this autumn:

TV3 will screen the new show, with 14 candidates battling it out to become millionaire entrepreneur Bill Cullen’s apprentice.

The winner will receive a 12-month contract working alongside Cullen with a package worth €100,000.

Yep, that’s Bill “Golden Apples” Cullen. Wikipedia entry.

Frozen Dublin Improv on Grafton Street

Love the comments of Dublin teenagers around the 1.50 mark. It appears to have all been done via this facebook group, where they do of course give the inspiration as the Grand Central freeze by Improv Everywhere.
