Not from the strip itself, mind you, but from [somebody’s interpretations](http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=lasagnacat&p=r). These are amazing. Even if you don’t want to watch them all, you should see [06/01/1982](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxNut6VbStM) and [01/26/1995](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ2q9NmYf6g).

I already did a [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=451640&highlight=garfield) on this, but it deserves all the love it can. Garfield truly is a cat who says funny things

An inspired idea: [Garfield Minus Garfield](http://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/).

Leagues better. 😃

Wow, that’s good stuff! Who knew?

It turns into a “comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life”.

That is awesome on so many levels. I wonder what other comics this would work with…

Then there’s the ones where all of [Garfield’s dialogue](http://www.truthandbeautybombs.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=4997) has been excised.
