I hate the Sunday comics. I hate them so much that I actually relish the act of hating them. In the rare event that I buy a paper, they are the first item I toss (even before the circulars) after quickly scanning them with all the derision and scorn I can muster...
Who thinks these are funny?
The list of offenders is exhausting, but at the top are:
1. Family Circus
2. Cathy
3. Garfield
The utter banality and uselessness of these strips leaves my soul crying in anguish and despair.
So props to Edubya for finding this excellent (and often funny) tribute/exercise in which Garfield has been photoshopped out of each strip: "Garfield minus Garfield"
The result? John's puerile, vacuous drivel is miraculously transformed into gleeful spurts of nihilistic angst that leaves me cackling with a sense of unease that I've not felt since reading The Stranger.
Long live the existentialist aesthetic!
Errr....now, back to my meds...
Bonus: funny (and very raunchy) NSFW Fark photoshop thread for "Mary Worth"
