"Alley-Oop"


I've found a few links that I can only classify as odd mutations of classic comic strips. There has to be a "sexier" or marketable way to say that, but odd comics is what I've found, so odd comics is what you get:

First we'll start with one you've almost for sure heard of. It's been around since at least early 2006, making it ancient in Internet terms. Take the thought and word bubbles out of Garfield comics, and what do you get? An oddly surreal, and somewhat sad portrait of a man and his cat. There are pages of them here, but they are not all strictly in the same vein.

Along a similar line, we get this: Garfield minus Garfield. Talk about sad. Jon Arbuckle becomes a almost tragic figure and I find it hard to read more than a few of these without really feeling sad for the man.

My newest favorite is Marmaduke Explained. It needs no further explanation, which is part of its charm. Be careful, there's some dirty words on this one.

The best, and most time wasting by far is The Nietzsche Family Circus. Revel in the randomness. Spend hours wondering if it is secretly planned, or truly as random as they say.

There's still a quiz down below, get on it people! I want answers!
