Jeez. That actually was a vast improvement.

Take away the bland dialogue witty, acid retorts and the strip becomes surreal.

Wow. That totally makes Garfield actually readable. *L*

Someone's responce:
Note to self. Things are funnier when the characters don't ruin it by talking too much.

I've got to remember that. Some of those altered Garfield strips are down-right hilarious. There are some comics that have frames with no dialog but just the characters looking at each other in reaction to what was before and they are quite funny...then they often have another panel with a punchline and that punchline is much funnier due to the no-dialog panel before it.

Green Acers TV show has a pig on it that everybody but the main character seemed to know what it was saying and the audience would know what the pig said too by what the humans would say in responce to the pig's grunts. The pig's sarcasim and character was much funnier that way.
