Maybe we could see a mock-up on this site?

Garfield is perhaps the worst comic that the Washington Post carries (others in the running are Beetle Bailey, Hagar the Horrible, and Prickly City). I find it hard to believe that Garfield was so popular when we were in elementary school... is it just humor that appeals to the 8-year old set, or has it really just gone downhill? The Family Circus suffered a similar quality crash in the 90s, but I believe it's gone through a renaissance of sorts in the past few years. Perhaps the elimination of Garfield from Garfield could spark a similar renaissance of that strip. Wow… it does work.

They do work at a level that would have eluded me in 4th grade. Were those the original words Jon said in the comics? They do work at a level that would have eluded me in 4th grade.
