When Jon Arbuckle, the rather sad and pathetic cartoonist bachelor, comes home to complain about his lousy job and poor social life to his pet, Garfield thinks up witty sarcastic responses in thought balloons. Jon doesn’t hear Garfield, although often he can tell what Garfield is thinking due to body language or he responds to Garfield’s inattentiveness. (And sometimes, the strip strays off concept for a while and Jon seems to understand Garfield as though he were talking.)

In other words, Jon is coming home and holding one-sided conversations with his cat. He isn’t hearing anything. To see what Jon is seeing, you’d have to remove his thought balloons.

It was 7:45, we were all in line 2 greet the teacher Miss Kathleen
First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us were ordinary compared 2 Cynthia Rose
She always stood at the back of the line, a smile beneath her nose
Her favorite number was 20 and every single day
If U asked her what she had 4 breakfast, this is what she'd say

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds and a tangerine, a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
---Prince, Starfish & Coffee

"FreakAngels" takes place in an imaginative future world in which something has gone horribly wrong. In this case, the "something" is the fault of the FreakAngels themselves, a group Ellis described in a "Bad Signal" email blast as "a clan of unrelated young people with purple hair and purple eyes." The trouble, Ellis goes on to say, comes when "a girl called Alice from Manchester turns up with a shotgun and a grievance, having met the lost, prodigal last Freakangel, who had very different ideas about what they should do with themselves and this flooded future England."

For readers, the benefits of a free web comic from a top-name creator are obvious. But from a publishing standpoint, there are still many questions surrounding web content—particularly free, open access content—that still do not have straight, easy answers. What is the best way to present material online? How will free access affect sales of a printed edition? How does one measure whether the endeavor has been successful?

Completely improvised, Free Radio offers a fresh alternative to the typical sitcom, showing just how far real A-List celebrities will go to tolerate a complete moron. In season one, Hollywood luminaries from "24's" Kiefer Sutherland to "Heroes'" Jack Coleman and comedy legend Ray Romano are subjected to the idiot storm that is Lance and "Moron in the Morning."
