I don't understand this kind of posts, why there's always a version without a cat in it?

The first type of this post I saw was Garfield minus Garfield. That one was more enjoyable because most of the comics just looked like Jon was very depressed and talked to himself.

I'm not sure when Heathcliff got a minus cat version, or if there are other versions. I think it's just a exercise in creativity to see if the comic still is funny/makes sense even if the OG comic joke is different.

I started removing Heathcliff near the start of last year after realizing he rarely contributed to the "joke." There are very different edits of Heathcliff out there. I didn't know about them until after I started mine and found a whole community of crazy.

To see if the presence of the cat actually impacts the "joke."

And almost always the cat matters not! It's amazing!
