This is my favorite Garfield (without Garfield) comic.
I love those. But I think this one might actually have Garfield in it.

Well now I’m getting all philosophical about it. Is it still Garfield if he’s partially digested? Where does Garfield end and snake begin? Maybe it really is Garfield (without Garfield) after all. I know I’ve ruined it either way.

While the Heathcliff variant is more prevalent on Lemmy, Garfield Minus Garfield does exist and is highly enjoyable. I haven’t checked, but I suspect it inspired the Heathcliff one.
Heathcliff without Heathcliff wasn’t inspired by Garfield but I know it seems that way. A friend was posting its Heathcliff each day and I was confounded by the impenetrableness for months. But after I started figuring it out I noticed that Heathcliff was almost completely irrelevant to most of the strips and started removing him to see how often they still worked as designed.
But since G-G already existed there is no way to remove the idea that one caused the other in most minds. I didn’t really care for G-G because I really never cared for Garfield in the first place.
Fair enough. Thank you for the edification.
Yes, thank you. If you see my other comment I mentioned it and saw that the original Garfield cartoonist nicely gave it their blessing as well.
Perhaps we should lobby someone to post the Garfield variant!
I apologize for missing your other comment, but isn’t posting the Garfield variant something I already did?
Sorry, has it been posted in the comics sub before? I have missed it if so.
I think at least one of us is confused. I apologize if I was unclear at some point.
The continuation of the comic wars.
Previously there was a comic about Snoopy flying his dog house being shot down by a fighter pilot.
Specifically, the Red Baron, whom Snoopy often imagined fighting with in the comic. The Red Baron
Oh, was the fighter pilot supposed to be the red baron? I missed that reference.

Not sure why that bothered me…

Should’ve eaten Heathcliff too.
What an incomprehensible comic. I don’t understand how a snake could grow to that size or why a cow would be named “Garfie.”
To be fair you need a pretty high IQ to understand Garfield. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of feline studies most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head.
