Okay, I think I need this one explained to me. Neither the addition nor subtraction of Heathcliff make me understand this any more or less.
Is there a pun I’m missing, or is this a “cow tools” situation? I really hope it’s the latter, because I always get kind of a kick out of the absurdity, hahah
There are a number of genies that pop up in Heathcliff comics. Knowing anything about them does not help make any kind of consistent narrative or lore. Their near existence is “the joke”.
This is my favorite
Wait, so 3 years apart, they did almost the exact same genie comic? Except it’s Heathcliff holding it instead of a mouse?
Edit: I just noticed the trash ones, and that there are actually two different milk ones. I almost didn’t see that those two were different at all. These comics make me legitimately angry.

I don’t know if that article was serious or meta but it was a great read! TFS
Hmm, y’know I sometimes complain about Gallagher recycling absurdist gags, but this is one of the better ones IMO. Compare it to the bubblegum weirdly containing super-helium, the trash ape running through the streets, the helmets and items being labelled with a generic word, and this one gives me just enough variation to be amusing, as well as having a sort of unexpected, old Persian connection.
A small example of how cultural cross-fertilisation can make for some novel art & little breakthroughs. That’s just me, of course, but still in this post-Far Side age in which surreal comics & sideways-humor is common, the strip manages to stay quite unique IME.
@[email protected], thanks for splurging on all the examples. That was really cool. I only wish this was a Euro comic so I could do a little gallery and writeup over at EuroGraphicNovels+.
I’m convinced Hearhcliff is just a long-term prank on comic syndicates at this point
I guess this post is as good as any: Is there a chance to make it’s own community to this certain comic?
Others have done, such as The Far Side.
As this seems to be reoccuring series and being posted a lot here, I’m sure there would be fans.
One more reason to ask is that it’s not even the original comics being posted, but edits of it, which make little sense to casual scrollers.
With my options for ceasing to see this in my feed being blocking the community and blocking the poster, I want to negotiate for a third, less drastic, one.
If a majority of the people here want it in a separate group I’d do it but there doesn’t seem to be much demand for it. Between you and the person they replied to that brings the total so far to two. One person about a month ago said that this is the separate community for it. Before I started posting here the group was dead. If I were you I’d create a new post asking peoples’ opinions.

B-b-but, why…?
Ahh I’m just uncultured and don’t find these that funny. And there’s a lot of them too. Humor differs ig. I can see the appeal though. 👍
A lot = 1 per day?
