Apropos this mini-discussion:

http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=10916&page=0#114767

I was reminded of a fairly amusing thread. Not wanting to hijack a discussion on the Feature Request board, I am mentioning it here:

Someone came up with the clever idea of taking Garfield comic strips and simply removing all of Garfield's dialogue. The remainder is...well, it's very interesting. With pathos, even.

[Umm...Obligatory note: Standards on other web forums may not be the same as here. I didn't notice anything particularly offensive on that website, but I can't guarantee that there's nothing there that would offend.]

This one is my favorite:

From the heading I thought you were talking about this Garfield.

It's a fairly common mistake.

No doubt a comic strip about *that* Garfield would be funnier.

Heh... I think that all of the DROD developers need tose happy-papers stuck to their avatars at this stage of production.

Okay, Mr. Editor. Even though I'm not a developer, I'll happy-paper my avatar. We should have everyone do this.

Keep posting,

Mine's already happy, I think. Anyway, it'd be harder to happy-paper it since it's animated.

I refuse to glue a piece of paper, and opt for a randomized strip.

Looks quite transparent to me.

Try clearing your browser cache if it still doesn't work for you.
