Strip by: TheGreyScholar

{Garfield slouching in front of a dull, white backdrop}
Garfield: Sigh... I have no friends.

The author writes:

Having read all the spinoffs of "Garfield Minus Garfield" I was surprised to find that no one simple switched the meanings of the two "Garfields." One refers to the cat, the other to the franchise. When you do that, you get this.

"Garfield Minus Garfield" is a strip dedicated to removing the Garfield comic strips from around Garfield in order to reveal the existential pain of a certain cat, Garfield. It is a journey deep into the mind of a lonely, unhealthy cat as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a bleak and friendless world.

Original strip: 2002-11-27.
