Why yes, it is yet another take on Garfield [1] (it's not like I'm not
obsessed with Garfield [2] or anything), this time with the dialog
automatically generated using a Markov chain [3].

[Garfield: “OH BOY, DO I KNOW?!”] [4][Garfield: “I'M GOING HOME”] [5][Jon:
“GUESS WHAT,” Garfield: “IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT”] [6]

While maybe not quite as good as some of the [7] other [8] takes, it has the
potential to be quite amusing:

[Odie enters state right, carrying something in his mouth. Jon and Garfield
look on] [9][Jon: “DARN YOU GARFIELD! NOW I”] [10][Joh: “DOESN'T LOOK”
Garfield: “THE WOLFMAN IS HEADED THIS WAY!”] [11]

Then again, it could be argued that Jim Davis [12] has always generated the
strip's diaglog using a Markov chain.
