11:10 pm - Garfield Minus Garfield
There's been evidence for a while that the Garfield comic strip is much better if you remove Garfield's thought bubbles, turning the strip from a story about a snarky cat into a story about a lonely, pathetic man who's socialization is limited to his pets. (It doesn't actually change the interactions between Jon and Garfield, since Jon could never hear Garfield's thoughts, but it changes the focus of the audience).
Well, someone has decided to push the envelope further, by removing Garfield completely. It doesn't necessarily improve the strip further, but it certainly makes for something different and compelling.
As Garfield Minus Garfield notes:Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness in a quiet American suburb.

12:43 am - Spiderman Loves J Jonah Jameson
Ok, this whole retcon of the marriage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane is stupid. But at least it has opened the door for some serious slash potential.
You think Peter chose Aunt May's life over his marriage to MJ? Think again. Two issues of Amazing Spiderman later, #547:
