That was the first time Garfield ever made me laugh.

Ultimately, I was disappointed that this was not related to ZZT (or even Megazeux!).

Ignorance is the foundation of sanity? I want more Garfield. More. More. Godot? Godot, is that you?

from what i understand, the site was originally supposed to be a zzt level archive, if that's any consolation.

If someone just told me the concept behind those mirror-image Garfield comics, I would think it could never work. But it does.

...Someone besides me knows of the existence of Megazeux? I modified it for awhile and made a few crappy games, whee. That was the shit.

Yeah, I was more of a ZZT fan, trying to make music out of 8 distinct buzzing sounds.

Back on track:

Also, I like how these modified comics (or at least the ones with multiple rows) can still have a kind of story if you reading them vertically.

There are many other pages on that site, but they're not linked anywhere. Highly recommended net.art.

That was fun. I don't completely understand why but it definately brightened my day.

Sorry I'm so late with this, just saw the post today, here's everything that I could find that's still up. I supplied titles where none were available. Be sure to check out "Temporalectopedia" and "How to make a cube", also see the google cache of The online journal of Jack Masters. This is the most interesting webcomic I've seen in a while, thanks!

"Hey nonny nonny nucleotide, The sum of the squares of the space-time cornbread"

"But the pipe and the moss must listen, for they have no horizon for which to wait for something to emerge, like an octopus through the slot in a suggestion box, bearing the frost of winter in it's suction-cup-lined clutches."
