I never quite found Garfield all that funny or amusing. Even as a seven year old learning to speak English I found it very uncouth and provincial in some way. At least Peanuts, which I never enjoyed too much, had some pace or ambience. Stripped of that obnoxious cat I find Garfield pretty humorous. Garfield sans Garfield becomes almost a visual koan or a comic rorschach test that provides enlightenment of some sort, or as the website states: "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." Gawd, that is a genius observation: He was totally bugged out on meth...
