Dear Paws, Inc. and Jim Davis, this is a fan project for the fans, thanks in advance for understanding!

Around maybe two or three years ago I discovered the pandyland.net random comic generator: http://pandyland.net/random/ The comic has a pool of frames for positions 1, 2 and 3 and it will pick a random one for each. I fell in love with the concept, but didn't have the time to draw hundreds of panels. Then an idea hit me: how awesome would it be to cut panels out of a real comic - say , Garfield - and recreate the code to assemble a random comic? A few hours of sweat later and I had a working prototype! (See below). Just today, I discovered the Explosm random comic generator via a reddit.com thread: http://explosm.net/rcg Suddenly I remembered the Garfield generator I had made years ago and completely forgotten. So here it is, enjoy!
