Six basic responses
A little idea-fart from the internext.
I'm not much of a Garfield fan[1], but someone has hacked it in a cool way.
The idea is that if you remove all of Garfield's speech bubbles, thereby turning him into an ordinary cat, the cartoons actually become a lot more insightful.
Jon's altered relationship with his formerly wordy companinion[2] strikes very close to home with my relationship with our little ginger cat while Anita is away on business.
[1] Read: I haven't really laughed at a Garfield strip in some years.
[2] Can cats ever really be classified as companions? Perhaps co-habitor is more appropriate.
[*] Ever notice how Jon is the only character to never break the fourth wall? Odie does.
