individualism for the masses

"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."

From garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com:

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?

Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.

(Thanks to neural for pointing me to this.)

    When I saw this, I was reminded of an art project I did many years ago. I made "Dada" Garfield strips by cutting up strips and rearranging the frames. I only used the frames from a single strip in each rearrangement. The result is oddly similar to just removing Garfield completely.
