toon tuesday twist

With Halloween aside and as we enter into the holiday season, I'd like to take a little variation in honor of the toon tuesday theme.

Joyous, festive and a time of togetherness, nothing reminds us of how lucky and grateful we are for our loved ones more than the holiday season. Unfortunately, the flip side of this -- as so graciously touched upon in many a holiday movie -- is the reminder of the utterly lonely and lacking facets of our lives.

So, as my pep talk to those of you who rue the holidays, just remember Garfield. Yes, that snarky, dry humor chubby tabby we all love. He would tell you to snap out of it, things could be worse. You could be Jon Arbuckle -- as demonstrated through this hilarious website garfield minus garfield











On his website, Dan Walsh takes the popular Jim Davis comic strip and erases the existence of Garfield, creating "a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb".











Published as in 2008, (and available on Amazon) this is my idea of a great coffee table book.
