They are a great disection of the study of timing and pacing in a comic strip. One more thing I’ve noticed upon reading the G-G strips.

Where have I been? Garfield minus Garfield is a truly inspired site! It's actually a very interesting character study. For the most part, Jon has only served as a reactionary character, the butt of Garfields jokes, or to set up a punchline for Garfield. But when the focus is shifted one really does see him differently. Much more human. It doesn't serve to bash or put down the strip at all, just explore a different and overlooked angle of the work. Props to Jim Davis for being so open to that. As I said, very inspired. Wow. Where have I been? Garfield minus Garfield is a truly inspired site!
