Garfield Minus Credit
At first, I was amused and impressed that Jim Davis seems to approve of Garfield Minus Garfield, as reported by the New York Times. Then, I got mad that they never gave credit to the project that likely spawned this, which involved just editing out Garfield’s thought bubbles. But finally, I dug around Doombot to reread my post on that project, and it turns out you can’t even see those cartoons unless you have a Something Awful forum account, which kind of made me go, “Oh, well, screw them, then.” Apparently, some part of me has decided that you’re not entitled to credit for a creative work online unless you make it freely available for eternity.
And anyway, some of those Garfield Minus Garfield strips are damn hilarious (and/or read like a Chris Ware strip).

I sometimes wonder if Jim Davis would have approved of my unfinished plagiaristic opus, Garfeld.

I don’t know if your comments are searchable, but I didn’t see anyone bring this up:

Apologies if this is old news; I just ran into it about a month ago.
Also, your original post was so long ago that the thread you linked to on SA was mothballed onto the archive server, which isn’t accessible to the public.
