Garkov

Garfield is a comic strip by Jim Davis, who seems like a pretty good guy.

A Markov chain is a probabilistic model well suited to semi-coherent text synthesis.

Garkov is an application of the Markov model to transcripts of old Garfield strips, plus some extra code to make it all look like a genuine comic strip. Feel free to screenshot and share Garkov output.

Josh Millard is responsible for this mess; he also has a blog and frequently does stuff. His current comic project is Larp Trek, in which the crew of Next Generation plays a roleplaying game called Deep Space Nine.
