Minus Comic Ending

One of my favorite webcomics ever ended today. "Minus" was a magnificent tale about a magical little girl, written and illustrated beautifully by Ryan Armand. Here's the description from the site:

Each minus strip is painted on a 15x20" piece of Illustration board. With this comic I am pretending I am making a comic strip for a newspaper in the early 20th century. A special newspaper that lets me use as much color as I want. I'm not much for comic strips so I don't know how long I'll be doing this one, so enjoy it while it lasts, I guess? It'll be updating every thursday until I suddenly stop! Making comics on giant paper is pretty neat though.

I strongly encourage you to read it from the beginning. Stick through until the end; you'll be glad you did.

Wow... This really makes me sad. I ordered a print of my favorite strip, #37. I really hope he turns it into a book, but until then, it was the least I could do for all the joy and entertainment this comic has given me. Thank you, Mr. Armand.

Minus will be missed, but never forgotten.

Garfield Minus Garfield

A friend pointed this out to me - it's a regular Garfield comic strip, with the big orange cat and all his lines omitted. From the website:

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?

I am not afraid to admit: I lol'd profusely. Here's the link - Garfield Minus Garfield
