On some message board I've never heard of (I found the page through Reddit) someone pointed out that if you remove Garfield's dialogue the comics become incredibly surreal.

I feel that if I read enough of these I can probably reach a higher plane of enlightenment. Or not.

Wow, I think this is the first time I've ever read Garfield and actually had a laugh. I think they're onto something here...

The author of the strip gets mad credit from me for even attempting a somewhat faithful homage to the notorious "cat sequence" in the Italian animated film ALLEGRO NON TROPO, generally referred to as the "Italian Fantasia". The sequence, if you didn't already watch it via that link back there, is a real downer. The multiple-strip homage wasn't exactly the same, but it clearly followed ALLEGRO's template. It was not at all like any Garfield strips before or since - it was very poorly received by newspapers and Garfield fans alike, and the strip never strayed so far from the tried-and-true formula again.

Possibly better.

Then there's the Wonder Years experiment...

It reminds me a bit of David Lynch's The Angriest Dog in the World.

Take Garfield out entirely and things get even weirder.

These are hilarious and not disturbing like the Marmaduke ones with the Lovecraftian alien coming out of him attacking the owner.

Who knew that taking Garfields dialog away would make the strip 100xFunny?
Who knew Garfield could be funny at all? I definitely prefer Realfield. It seems more like the examination of one man's descent into madness.
