Revision as of 23:15, 8 April 2014
A subset of the webcomic Mezzacotta. Essentially, it's Garfield Minus Garfield turned Up to Eleven: a collection of humorous Garfield edits made by viewers.
View it here.
This webcomic contains examples of:
- And Call Him George: Parodied here.
- Ascended Meme: Dan Walsh, creator of Garfield Minus Garfield, submitted a strip.
- May also count as a Throw the Dog a Bone.
- Based on a Dream: This strip.
- Beat Panel: Garfield Plus Penultimate Beat Panel.
- Black Comedy: "You may prefer to remain unhappy."
- Blind Idiot Translation: If you know you live forever to get.
- Bolt of Divine Retribution: Garfield Meets Zeus.
- Brevity Is Wit: April of No Sundays Collection, Less Humor, More Story!
- Brick Joke: The apteryx.
- Character Name and the Noun Phrase: Invisifield and the Pudding Cup
- Dada Comics
- Darker and Edgier: Dark Side of the Lasagne.
- And Darkfield.
- Deconstruction: Of the blender Running Gag.
- Dialogue Tree: Cats of the Old Republic.
- Dinner Deformation: Somewhat.
- Driven to Suicide: Used a few times.
- Face Palm: A collection.
- For Science!: used as a title.
- Future Imperfect: The Garfield Code.
- Genre Savvy: Genre Savvy Garfield
- Gratuitous Spanish: ¡Garfield Mexicano!, La Version Mejorada!
- Here We Go Again: Just as it seemed the pudding pops meme was finally over, the blender meme had to purge the strip buffer.
- Just One Second Out of Sync: The author made the trope, plus a Shout-Out.
- Long Title: Garfield Minus Garfield Minus Jon Minus Odie Minus Nermal Minus Arlene Minus Lyman Minus Liz Minus Pookie [sic].
- Milestone Celebration: 1000th Root of Minus Garfield
- Mind Screw: GARFFITI.
- Must Have Caffeine: An occasional theme, just like in the real strip.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Discussed Trope in relation to Odie in this strip.
- Overly Long Gag: A Strip. With. A Snail.
- Invoked and defied in Déjà Vu All Over Again, complete with a link back to us.
- Looky Looky
- Overly Long Walk
- Dull and Repetitive
- Painting the Medium: Small Talk, Variations on a Haircut #1, and Melt.
- Paranoia Fuel: (Jon, Paranoid)
- Race Lift: Garfield Recoloured, which leads up to a pun.
- Recycled in Space: Garfield IN SPACE! They even linked to us!
- Recycled Script: Duly noted and mocked several times over.
- Recursive Reality: Recursive Garfield Redux and Recursive Thinking Garfield.
- Reference Overdosed
- Remix Comic
- Retraux: Silent-Era Garfield.
- Running Gag: Garfield Linus Garfield began a series of derivatives featuring Garfield replaced in the middle panel by someone or something (usually) rhyming with "Minus".
- Has since been inverted, subverted, parodied, deconstructed, averted, played for laughs, lampshaded, defied, discussed, and exploited. Needless to say, it's seen very extensive use.
- Overused Running Gag: The voluminous number of "Garfield (pun for Minus) Garfield" comics has now reached this, to the point of Seasonal Rot for some.
- Hopefully as of strip 625 we should be seeing far less of them now.
- But however it's started all over again with "I glued a blender to my face." Which is itself crossing over with the "pudding pops" strip used for the "Garfield ___ Garfield" meme.
- Also beginning to trend is "Garfield's X Theater"
- Another recent one is Changefield, which resulted in this hilarious blend.
- All the running gags were combined in Strip #1049.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Garfield Leaves Garfield
- Self-Deprecation: Attack of the Memes.
- Series Minus Series Core: Taken Up to Eleven. There's been Garfield Minus Jon, Garfield Minus Jon (again), Garfield Minus Garfield Minus Jon, xkcd Minus Garfield, Garfield Minus Characters, Krazy minus Kat, Hark! a Vagarant minus Garfield!, Nermal Minus Garfield, Odie Minus Garfield, and Garfield minus Liz.
- The Un-Smile / Slasher Smile: These are rather disturbingly common.
- Shout-Out: A whole page of them.
- Similarly Named Works: Butterfield and Butterfield.
- Also, Mirror Universe Garfield and Mirror Universe Garfield.
- Smile and Smile.
- Slow-Loading Internet Image: While there's no punchline, and it's a non-pornographic image, the spirit is certainly there in this strip.
- Something Completely Different: It was more common in the early days of the strip, but there are a few strips that are not Garfield edits: Edits of other comics (Xkcd here, Krazy Kat here, Bob and George here, and Hark! A Vagrant here.), unedited pages about Garfield from comic books or magazines (this from a Ren and Stimpy comic book, and this from a The Electric Company magazine), and, on one occasion, a printing error a newspaper made when publishing a Garfield comic. Possibly lampshaded in the author's notes for the Krazy Kat strip, which said about the strip "This one may be too meta to fly.".

- Sprite Comic: Garfield: The Video Game.
- Symbol Swearing: Lampshaded in Grawfield.
