Take away Garfield's "witty" remarks, and all you have left is the surreal, sad story of a lonely man whose only form of communication is with a cat. A cringe-worthy comic becomes at least a chuckle-worthy one.
Removing Garfield entirely can have some pretty fun results as well.
There's even been some small attempts to make Mallard Fillmore funny as well.

You know, this last Sunday's Garfield made me realize soemthing: You never see Nermal or Arlene(?) anymore.
Yeah one-off jokes are replacing everything else. Be like when they wrote out Lyman because they thought he made Jon seem too gay.

Heathen. Back in it's prime, it was easily one of the top Sunday comics. I would say second to only Calvin and Hobbes.

You dare to say Garfield is better than The Far Side?

Eh. The Far Side is pretty funny, but yeah I used to prefer Garfield a bit more.
Oh, and in case you didn't check out any of the boards I posted links to, be sure to check out this series of comics that happened between October 23-28 1989. Somewhat of a mindfuck, especially considering it's coming from a comic such as Garfield.
And that Loneliness series is some creepy wacked out shit.
