                            A more readable Garfield
                                        
The first major improvement in Garfield was the removal of Garfield's dialog
[1] and the results improved the strip quite a bit, making it more surreal
(as well as showing just how disturbed Jon Arbuckle [2] really is).

Now, however, the process has been taken one step further—removing Garfield
altogether [3]!

[Jon: Get Back!] [4] [5][Jon: My hand is ever alert] [6] [7][Nothing sadder
than a grown man playing with a sock puppet by himself] [8] [9] 

I think this makes Garfield not only funnier, but more surreal as the
apparent schizophrenia takes hold on Jon Arbuckle.
