The strip is funnier when it has Garfield. I used to read that site but I already have enough ennui in my life that I don't need to see it in the funny pages. When I'm reading a Garfield comic strip I want to see Garfield. Who doesn't like a chuckle? He's a funny cat.Wildcat wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 7:15 pmHave you ever read Garfield minus Garfield?

That's a true story. I haven't thought about that night in ages. When he handed the picture to me I had to be all gracious for this magnanimous gesture from this guy who presents himself as some kind of draftsman maestro. Then I flipped the page over and it's a picture of Garfield standing and giving a thumbs-up. It was obviously an amateur job.

After I threw away the picture (and I still have no regrets after all these years about doing that) I got to thinking and really this is what this guy did for a living. HE TOLD ME HE WAS A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST. Then I took my finger off the CAPS lock. His job was to draw cartoon characters for sick children. No wonder he thought his drawings were great. Who ever would tell him otherwise? Sick children aren't exactly the kind of art critics I would trust in a Picasso exhibit, but, you know what? This guy was doing something good in the world. That must be a nice profession to be in and I am sure he was very good at it. I wasn't a sick child at the time so I couldn't appreciate his work in the spirit as it was intended.
Sometimes I think my life is stranger than fiction. I suppose most people must think that about their lives, too.
Who is Jon Arbuckle?
