Jon Arnbuckle. We know him as the goofy, loveless, and unfortunate owner of Garfield and Odie. Most of the time, Jon has witiful banter with his cat Garfield that has so famously been immortalized by Jim Davis. But artist Dan Walsh has done something incredible by removing his usual partner in crime of the comics, Garfield, from the panels. What we have left is a look into who Jon really is. By removing Garfield, it appears that Jon Arnbuckle is a lonely man in critical need of attention. His speech bubbles left untouched, most of the time Jon looks as though he’s talking to himself or validating himself. It surprisingly works incredibly well and produces some hilarious situations. I’ve compiled some of my favorites below, but definitely visit GarfieldMinusGarfield.net for the full website.

Funny! I had forgotten about that furry ball of laughter. Poor Jon, he seems so lost.
Oh wow. Now I have to go back and read my volumes with Garfield excluded. Poor Jon.
I was huge into this a few years ago. Technically, Jon is always talking to himself, when Garfield “talks” they aren’t word bubbles, they are thought bubbles. That’s part of the reason this works so well
That makes a lot of sense and I can’t believe I never saw that in the first place. That’s neat though, that this was actually a thing a couple of years ago.
