The Random Garfield comic generator

Post by Vexorg »

Has your comic strip become an endless morass of predictable throwaway gags and bad one-liners that stopped being funny sometime during the Reagan administration? Why not try mixing things up a bit? This page grabs individual panels from Garfield cartoons and mixes them up at random. On occasion, the results even end up better than the originals...

I was impressed by how nearly coherent that all comes out. But, then again, I follow Jerkcity and Pokey the Pengiun (there used to be a randomizer for this someplace), so I might have abnormal expectations. It definitely improves the original.

Pretty darn cool. It proves that Garfield is flat and formulaic.

Aww, it's been ceased-and-desisted :(

I found a bizarre old one I managed to do before it went poof, though :)
