Making Fun of Comic Strips
I blogged a while back on Garfield Without Garfield, which removes all animals from the Garfield comic, leaving a lonely, depressed, and possibly schizophrenic Jon Arbuckle.
While talking about this site with a friend a while back, he told me about Joe Mathlete Explains Today’s Marmaduke, which explains in far to much detail the day’s Marmaduke comic. Sometimes, the explanation is, “Marmaduke is an asshole.”
This led me to search for some other sites that make fun of lame comics. Here are my finds:
Lasagna Cat – People dress up in costumes and act out bad Garfield strips, with rim shots and canned laughter at the end.
The Nietzsche Family Circus – A Family Circus strip paired with a random quote from Friedrich Nietzsche.
The Marmaduke Project – A site that pretty much just makes fun of Marmaduke, although in more creative ways than the one above.
Note: I found some other explanation sites, but they simply weren’t funny, so I did not list them here.
