Lasagna Cat

the Internet this month, for good reason: it’s a recipe for genius. First, re-enact (with eerie accuracy) a classic “Garfield” comic strip using green screens, hairpieces, and a full-grown man in a terrifying Garfield costume. Then slap a masterfully edited absurdist music video on the end, and you’ve got yourself comedy gold. I can’t believe no one’s thought of this before! It’s like David Lynch’s “Rabbits,” with a Web 2.0 sense of humor.

“Lasagna Cat” also brings to mind the much simpler, but still hilarious comic strip deconstruction blog, Marmaduke Explained– a daily analysis of the cryptically terse single-panel comic strip “Marmaduke” and its its frustrating canine puns.
 
Because the Internet’s lack of spatial boundaries has rendered the format of newspaper comics obsolete, artists can now express themselves in full thoughts, rather than snippets fragmented by the fiscal restrictions of the printed page. Hell, these days they can afford to make full animations or videos available to a mass audience, expressing their blasé distaste for Mondays or their doe-eyed love of lasagna. So “Lasagna Cat” and “Marmadue Explained” are comedies of antiquity, laughing at holdovers from the recent low-tech past.

The makers of “Lasagna Cat,” an L.A. based group called Fatal Farm, are definitely going places. Check out the Reimagined TV Themes project– their reworking of the “Duck Tales” intro as a Myspace child abduction nightmare reaches new heights of hilarity.
