Zen Garfield

[Mike Ventrella]

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?

Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. 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.

These two feel the most Zen to me.

 

[Marcena]

Feel zen? As in the completion of nothing?

Feel zen? As in the completion of nothing?

They have the same feel I get when I read a koan or a story told by an ancient master.

Or when I watch daytime TV.

Whatever happened to Odie?

[Marcena]

Again! What happened to ODIE?!!

 

[Mike Ventrella]

 

[Marcena]

No hug...and no Odie. :cry:

 

[Mairead]

Ok... These strips are just freakish and Boring without Garfield.


And in turn-where IS Odie?!


Too much time on ones hands to remove so much joy from a 3 squared nugget of joy!

So you don't care for Zen or don't understand Zen?
