Crazy Talk

Sometimes I think about how crazy I would sound if you were to remove Rhianwen's part of the conversation. It would probably sound like a garbled mess of catchphrases and nonsense talk. For instance, here's a typical conversation between the two of us:

Rhi: Honey, can you come here for a minute?

Benner: Yes-in-deedy-yak-a-doo!

Rhi: I need you to move this box.

Benner: (Singing) I will move the box, yeah, I will move the box, woo.

Now, the same conversation without Rhianwen's part:

Silence.

Benner: Yes-in-deedy-yak-a-doo!

Silence.

Benner: (Singing) I will move the box, yeah, I will move the box, woo.

So yeah, kind of crazy, right? But that's the theory behind my new favorite thing, Garfield Minus Garfield, a blog where the author removes Garfield the Cat from all the comic strips, making Jon Arbuckle appear to be a crazed man who lives by himself in a lonely apartment. Observe:


You see, I'm Arbuckle in this scenario. Which would make Rhianwen Garfield, I think?
