Explanation[edit | edit source]

This is a Garfield Minus Garfield strip with a twist; as Garfield himself was the focus of the original strip, removing Garfield without changing what happens implies that there is a ghost hitting things with silverware.

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

As I understand it, the humour behind Garfield Minus Garfield lies in the fact that much of the humour of Garfield lies in Garfield's responses to Jon's activities, and removing Garfield's snide commentary changes the focus to just how bizarre Jon is.

But then, not all Garfield strips follow this structure.

Original strip: 1986-08-17
