Garfield in Dotify

Made by: dmitrij507

Explanation

"Dotify" is a stylistic filter or artistic effect that transforms the original comic into a dotted, halftone, or pointillist version — similar to how old newspaper comics or pop-art prints use patterns of dots (like CMYK halftone printing) to create the image.Instead of the usual smooth colors and clean lines of a standard Garfield strip, this version renders everything with a dense pattern of dots. It gives the comic a retro, printed, or stylized "dotted" look — almost like a newspaper reproduction taken to an extreme, or an artistic filter (think pop art or a deliberate low-fi print effect). The characters, backgrounds, speech bubbles, and details are all built from or overlaid with these dots.

The author writes:

I chose the original strip because it's the first comic to not be used before.

Original strip: 1978-07-19.
