Garfield Minus Garfield is a creative reinterpretation of the famous comic strip, focusing on the character Jon Arbuckle in a surreal, existential context free from Garfield's presence. This project sheds light on themes of isolation, depression, and the human condition, presenting Jon's story as one of loneliness in a seemingly mundane American suburb. The project has attracted a cult following, with discussions around its psychological depth and even praise from Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield. Additionally, parallels are drawn to other media, such as podcasts being stripped to highlight guest insights, reflecting a broader interest in innovative storytelling methods. The dark humor and psychological horror elements introduced in this project resonate with many viewers, showcasing the power of creativity in analyzing everyday narratives.
