The Void Stares Into You
Work work work. Meeting meeting. Work some more.
Pretty much the story of my week.
But since I eat lunch (usually) at my desk, alone (I know), and since my work is usually typing-related, I can't be expected to work while eating my lunch. So I read stuff. And today I found this experiment, via GU Comics, who got it from Penny Arcade (at the very bottom of the page), which means you may have already seen it.
Nevertheless, it's brilliant. And disturbing:
Garfield Without Garfield digitally removes the title cat from Jim Davis' cartoons, and the results are, as promised, "an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life."
Crazy. And profound. Who knew Jon Arbuckle had it in him to be an existentialist everyman in crisis?
