Tom Waits proves that, once again, he is one of America's greatest natural resources.
Here's an interview he performed on himself -- naturally, without a license.
And here's his press conference video.

Have you seen "Garfield Minus Garfield?" It's a simple idea. By removing Garfield from the comic strip, it becomes clear that Jon is insane -- trapped in some kind of personal, existential hell.
The Beat informs me that there is a forthcoming book of Garfield Minus Garfield. However, it will include the original comic strips. This does not impress me.
What does impress me is that Jim Davis, noted sell-out and Garfield artist fully supports and endorses the Garfield-Minus-Garfield concept. While this moves him up several notches in my book, I suppose I should not be impressed. He's already repackaged the Garfield concept in as many forms imaginable for fun and profit; the next logical step would be to sell you the same product but without the product.

It should be noted that Garfield Minus Garfield isn't anywhere near as hilarious as Garfield without the dialog.
Garfield without dialog shows John as a crazy man who talks to a cat. Garfield without Garfield shows John as someone who's quite aware he's being watched (in many of them it seems like he's talking to the audience, which isn't anywhere near as funny or crazy really).
P.S. Here's the thread for Garfield without the dialog: http://www.truthandbeautybombs.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=4997&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
