“No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew.”

Existential Cartoons?
I’m a big fan of quotations. I also like cartoons. I believe in randomness. Put all three together and you have the design for a number of websites.
One is The Nietzsche Family Circus which pairs a randomized Family Circus cartoon with a randomized Friedrich Nietzsche quote. Doesn’t sound like it would work, but it does.
The best weapon against an enemy is another enemy.
And if you gaze for long into an abyss,
the abyss gazes also into you.
If a combination comes up that you like, you can copy the permalink to it to pass on.
Another site is Garfield Minus Garfield which is just that - Garfield comics with no Garfield or his words.
It is self-described as “a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.”
It has the approval of Garfield creator Jim Davis
