SPUK (Thesen gegen den Frühling)

One of the unexpected results of me starting a Carl Barks thread on the Comics Journal board has been the discovery of the art book "SPUK (Thesen gegen den Frühling)" by Niklaus Rüegg.

By now those Garfield strips with Garfield removed are very well known around the web...



... but this is something even more strange. It's "Donald Duck" comics by Carl Barks with all characters and speech balloons removed, leaving behind the impression of a disembodied camera floating slowly around an empty suburbian enviroment. Very eerie. And it's all done with very few lines.
