Existential Inquiry
I have to say that I am obsessed with the site and check it daily. Where the old Garfield was, as you put it, pretty lame, Garfield without Garfield is almost touching. You know, vaguely moving in an old French film sort of way. The blank panels, as you indicated, have an aural effect, a "silence" into which Jon speaks, in which he lives. In this way the reinvention is reminiscent of (or maybe just "is") found art that requires of the viewer a reevaluation of what is and is not art, what has and does not have Meaning.
That, and it's funny.
