Someone has created a random Garfield strip generator. Give it a whirl. It’s generally funnier than normal Garfield strips. Sadly, I haven’t seen any panels of the famous Dog Jizz strip turn up. [http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/natetrue/gar.html](http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/natetrue/gar.html) Here are a couple I generated, locking key frames: [http://www.ashmead.net/Star](http://www.ashmead.net/Star)_Forge/Garfield1.jpg [http://www.ashmead.net/Star](http://www.ashmead.net/Star)_Forge/Garfield2.jpg ---

Your first one is sheer genius. It reminds me of early Peanuts. ---

Aargh! I actually thought that first link was a completed one, since my first click created the definitive Garfield strip. I’ll have to describe it : Panel 1 : Garfield, standing proud : “I’m perfect!” Panel 2 : Garfield and Jon (Jon wearing an odd suit) . Garfield : “We’re a team!” Panel 3 : Garfield, alone, bored : “And this afternoon has lasted 25 years.” Was that really just by chance? ---

Fun. It’s sort of like the Car-Tuner from an episode of MST3K. I think my best creation goes like this: Panel 1 Jon: You think? Garfield: It couldn’t hurt. 2 Garfield to Jon: I have disdain for you. 3 Jon: The toaster doesn’t work, Garfield. It has a certain bored _je ne sais quoi_, I think. ---

[Jackpot.](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c146/katschohl/stuff/gar1.png) We’re talking formula Garfield: Panel 1: “It’s an amazing world we live in.” Panel 2: (Just about anything) Panel 3: “And that’s why I’m going to hide behind the couch.” ---

Move over, Mr. Davis. _rolls up sleeves_ Let a professional handle this.

My best one after a few bits of fooling around: Panel 1: Garfield waking up. “I hate waking up.” Panel 2: “Whenever things are missing they call on a dog to track it down.” Panel 3: To Jon: “I’m going outside for a while.” Yeah, it makes no sense, but in a way it _does_ make sense. ---

Panel 1: Jon and Garfield stare blankly at each other. No dialogue. Panel 2: Garfield by himself, saying “Life stinks”. Panel 3: Garfield flat on his back, saying “Whew! Thank goodness it passed”. ---

[A collection from my pals and I](http://yumblie.schroe.org/garfield) Most of these were made with an older version of the generator that let you specify how many panels you wanted and didn’t let you lock panels, but the premise is the same. As you can see this is a very addictive activity. ---
