I hope they become famous so we can say we knew them when. I alsp hope somebody from their proper fan base or what have you reads this and relays our praise. That "fearful symmetry" garfield splash is pretty creepy; I see what you mean. Yes, the Fatal Farm guys are the real deal. I hope they become famous so we can say we knew them when.

Because I want to hug them. Hot damn, the people who did Lasagna Cat have other works of genius:

Wow wow wowy. I am blown away by Lasagna Cat. What immediately sprung to my mind is this scene in The Prestige where a promoter has just witnessed Hugh Jackman perform a completely impossible trick. "Pardon me," he says faintly. "It's very rare to see real magic." That's totally how I feel right now. Wow. Wow wow wowy. I am blown away by Lasagna Cat.

There used to be a website that had a ton of garfield "remixes" based on the principal of mirror symmetry. Unfortunately the archive seems not to exist any more... although these didn't hold up that well <em>en masse</em> anyway. Having seen <a href="http://www.kuroneko-chan.com/echoes/images/Garfieldleifrag.jpg" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, you will have pretty much seen them all. Nevertheless: a striking and disturbing image, no? By the way, while attempting to find an example, I plugged "Garfield Mirror Strips" into Google Image Search. The results were... surprising. Don't try it at work. That is some amazing stuff!

Fortunately, I found the comic strip that brings it all together: http://data.tumblr.com/fSymsOGXO5xqp1myms0Cg4tD_500.gif And it all comes full circle.
