The main difference is that 'Garfield without Garfield' removes Garfield from the scenes, creating a more introspective and sometimes melancholic atmosphere.
They might focus more on the background or secondary characters. Maybe there's an emphasis on the settings or other elements that were previously overshadowed by Garfield.
Garfield is very much alive in the comics. The comic series continues to feature his humorous and fun-filled escapades without any such event of his death.
Garfield has been around since 1978, so as of now, he's been in the comics for quite a long time, but his age within the comic world is kind of ambiguous.
Garfield comics are usually created by the artist's imagination and drawing skills. The creator comes up with funny and relatable storylines for Garfield and his adventures, then sketches and inks the characters and scenes.
