Garkov: Garfield + Markov chains

First Clipped on Jun. 8, 2008

Report Clip

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.
