This is the place where I discuss all things Sacred and Profane. Stop by and check me out. Leave a comment (or not), as this is done for my own amusement. If you too are entertained, all the better, but that is not the motivation here. For I, am a...Writer with attitude! Comics, Sci Fi, movies, TV, Books, the Internet, Pop Culture, you name it. I talk about all of these things and more. These are the things that entertain me. I can only hope that some of them will entertain you as well.

Garfield minus Garfield, the video
OK, if you haven't read Garfield Minus Garfield, you owe it to yourself to do so now (go ahead, we'll wait...). Back? Cool for those of you who didn't make the jump, Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing the character of Garfield the cat from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of Garfield's "owner," Jon Arbuckle. The comic takes us all on a journey deep into the (obviously disturbed) mind of an isolated young everyman as he constantly fights a losing battle against the abject loneliness and dark depression of his own life adrift in a quiet American suburb.
Here are a couple of early examples:
If you liked them, perhaps you should go buy the book (go ahead, it even has the blessing of Garfield creator, Jim Davis, who wrote the forward).
Anyway, we bring this up, because now if you've enjoyed the online strips, or even purchased the book, you can also enjoy the video! No, seriously!
Yeah, yeah, we know that this is just the raw footage from the film without benefit of the animated Garfield digitally painted in, but still, it is kind of funny, and does evoke the feeling of the Dan Walsh, created parody.
