<p><span>Removing the feline star from Garfield, we are left alone with sidekick, Jon Arbuckle. Alone, facing Jon, stoned in quiet contemplation and deep rooted personal loathe or meth blitzed and orgasmic over fuzzy slippers, we find that Garfield can finally realize his goal to become a LOLcat. </span></p>
<p><span>D</span><span>eep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against</span><span> loneliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb. Really, with Garfield, this comic was standing arm and arm in lame comradeliness with Family Circus.<br />

<p>For the second installment of Memenatomy 101, I bring you the LOLCat.  I think that this is my favorite meme of all time.  A LOLcat is a picture of a cat with a funny and usually grammatically incorrect caption &#8211; this language has been termed kitty pidgin or LOLspeak.  As with any language, it has evolved to a point where the language has converged to a new set of rules in spelling and grammar.  If you are unfamiliar with LOLspeak, you can refer to the LOL<a title="lolspeak glossary" href="http://speaklolspeak.com/?t=anon">speak glossary</a> or if you&#8217;re feeling a bit lazy, check out the LOL<a title="lolspeak translator" href="http://speaklolcat.com/">speak translator</a>.  If you want to make your very own LOLcat, checkout the <a title="lolcat buildr" href="http://mine.icanhascheezburger.com/">LOLCat Buildr</a>. I&#8217;ve posted mine below.<br />
