De-Garfed: Modified Garfield Cartoons
by Chris Higgins - July 25, 2007 - 8:38 PM

Today I shall share one of my favorite little-known links: the De-Garfed Community on LiveJournal. The principle here is to take real Garfield cartoons and remove Garfield’s thought bubbles. This simple game leads to a much weirder, deeper, and usually funnier cartoon strip. Here are some examples:

De-Garfed 1

De-Garfed 2

It’s a simple concept, but so full of joy. Check out De-Garfed and make your own! (And I hereby tag fellow blogger Ransom to chime in with the story of how we used to re-caption Family Circus cartoons in middle school.)

Further Garfield tidbits for today: Is Garfield Dead? (warning: plays a song!), discussion of whether Garfield is dead, and more on the death-strips from Wikipedia. These last few links are via Your Daily Awesome.

  1. Garfield’s as dead as…dead.

    Sorry, but love para-quotin pulp fiction.

  2. Ooh, I love this de-garfed idea! When I was little, I always kind of assumed that Jon was just talking to himself anyway and just imagining what Garfield was saying back to him.

    Today’s comic that pops up when you click the Garfield link above (with the ‘make your own’ text) works really well as a de-garfed comic!
